Chai Tea (India) – Full Explanation Chai (चाय) simply means “tea” in Hindi. In India, the word commonly refers to a spiced, sweetened milk tea known as Masala Chai ("masala" = spice blend). It is one of the most popular beverages in India, enjoyed all day—at home, on the streets, in offices, and tea stalls ("chaiwallahs").
