Part of this complicated history is confusion around and appropriation of the word \"chai\" into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Indian languages, \"chai\" directly translates to \"tea,\" so when we say \"chai tea\" we are all essentially saying \"tea tea\". (Tea drinkers familiar with Chinese and Japanese may note the similarity here to \"cha\" or \"ocha\".) The keyword in the name \"Masala Chai,\" then, is not \"chai,\" but rather \"Masala\" meaning \"spiced\". Masala can be any combination of spices with the most common being cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper (some family recipes are really spicy and even call for mace!). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca title=\"Shop Chai Tea Online\" href=\"\/collections\/chai-tea\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecollection of \"chai\"\u003c\/a\u003e pull from many traditions and use descriptors like Masala, \u003ca title=\"Shop Pumpkin Chai Online\" href=\"\/products\/pumpkin-spice-chai\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePumpkin Pie Spice\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Shop Green Tea Chai Online\" href=\"\/products\/goldendragonchai\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGolden Dragon\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Shop Spiced Orange Chai Online\" href=\"\/products\/winter-orange-spice\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpiced Orange\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca title=\"Shop Caffeine-Free Chai Online\" href=\"\/products\/saratoga-red-chai\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSaratoga Red\u003c\/a\u003e to indicate the different spice mixes used and \"chai\" to indicate they are mixed with tea (or, in the case of Saratoga Red Chai, with rooibos).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYou can learn more about the political and cultural importance of chai in this \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/expert-advice\/masala-chai-history-recipe-article\" title=\"Learn More About the History of Masala Chai\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eexcellent Epicurious article by Leena Trivedi-Grenie\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eYou can also learn more about this popular drink, how we talk about chai in the shop, and the caffeine in chai \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/how-much-caffeine-is-in-chai-tea\" title=\"Learn How Much Caffeine is in Chai Tea\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eon our blog\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a decaffeinated spiced chai?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Try our naturally caffeine-free \u003ca title=\"Shop Caffeine-Free Chai Tea Online\" href=\"\/products\/saratoga-red-chai\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSaratoga Red Chai\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saratoga Tea \u0026 Honey Co.","offers":[{"title":"2oz Bag (20-25 cups)","offer_id":1281035905,"sku":"12SC6010","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz Bag (40-50 cups)","offer_id":14127631815,"sku":"14SC6010","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb.
