Chai Means Tea


This means that when you order your Chai Tea Latte with Whipped Cream at the local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, you are, in effect, ordering "Tea Tea"...with foamed milk and whipped cream.

And just to remind how you wonderful tea can be, there is a lovely little article in the Gray Lady about traveling to the tea estates in Darjeeling (in my home state of West Bengal) to indulge in the very best teas the planet has to offer.

And yes, I do say "Chai Tea Latte with Whipped Cream" when I get my favorite drink at my local Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf...all in the interest of assimilation, of course.
