The Right Cup for the Right Step

• Chai • Copper Cups - Iced Tea  • Gaiwan • Gung-Fu • Brown Betty • Yixing Teapot Chai The term
“chai” means tea in many languages. People in India brew
low-grade and broken-leaf tea or even CTC black tea with one spice,
such as cardamom or ginger, along with milk and sugar. With a few
rolling boils, the brew obtains a wonderful golden color and full
body flavor. Primarily in the U.S., cloves and cinnamon are also used,
making this blend of tea spices into a ready-to-drink concentrate.
Elsewhere in the world, chai is traditionally served in a clay cup,
which is usually discarded by the drinker. Recently, these cups have
become more refined with intricate designs and glazes. |
