Did you know the story behind the soothing brew that warms your heart and soul?๐
As we raise our cups of Pink Rabbit Chai in honor of National Chai Day, let's take a sip through time and uncover the fascinating history of this beloved elixir.
๐ History of National Chai Day ๐
In many Asian countries, the word โchaiโ simply means tea, but the iconic masala chai, or โmixed-spiced tea,โ as we know it today, has a captivating journey of its own.
๐ฑ Over 5,000 years ago, chai was born, originally created for medicinal purposes and reserved as a special treat for royalty. Its earliest form was a fragrant blend of spices, devoid of tea leaves.
๐ฑ Fast forward to today, and chai has won the hearts of people worldwide, served in homes and cafes alike. But did you know that National Chai Day as we know it only dates back to September 21, 2018?
๐ฑ Chai's evolution is a testament to its enduring appeal. During the British colonial era in India, tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant, along with milk and sweetener, were added to the mix, giving birth to the chai we cherish today.
๐ฑ Beyond its delicious taste, chai offers a treasure trove of health benefits. From digestion aids like black pepper and ginger to pain relief from cloves, mood elevation courtesy of cardamom, and heart and lung health support from cinnamon โ each sip is a sip of wellness.
