Opinion | How tea became ’chai’
Live MintI assumed chai was part of Indian cuisine. Chai’s story led me to Lutgendorf, recently retired as professor of Hindi and modern Indian studies at the University of Iowa, who has done research on how Indians became habituated to chai. Perhaps the inventor of chai found “pot tea” too fussy and achieved similar results by just putting all the ingredients into one pan and boiling them well. Chai became synonymous with the sweet, milky tea that’s boiled, not steeped. Both tea and chai created social spaces, like the “tea cabins” in Kolkata and the “Irani cafes” in Mumbai.
