Chai is also known as masala chai and is mostly a hot beverage consumed in India. It dates back between 5,000 and 9,000 years. 

The ancient masala chai, meaning, 'spiced tea,' is literally steeped in tales of royalty and herbal medicine alike. 

The British set up tea farms in Assam, India in 1835. The black teas (english breakfast now) made themselves into masala chai tea recipes. This was the first appearance of masala chai as it's known today, with spices, milk, a sweetener (usually honey), and tea. At the time, tea was primarily an export, expensive for most Indians, and so lost its popularity.

Early on, masala chai was made with a wide variety of spices, and prepared with many different methods. It was served either hot or cold as a remedy for ailments, and was caffeine-free.

The spread to the Americas hasn't been bad, for the masala chai gets a lot of respect. Many teahouses are serving up very high-quality, loose-leaf masala chai and chai lattes were made.
