Chai (Hindi: चाय) is the word for tea in South Asia and the Middle East, mainly India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Middle Eastern countries. It is a derivative of the Cantonese word "Cha" for tea. Synonyms in other languages are the Bengali chā, the Marathi chahā and the Tamil Thaeneer. In English, the term is used to refer to what is more properly known as masala chai (Hindi (मसाला चाय [masālā chāy], "spiced tea"). Chai also means 'bribe' in Kenya.

YAU (pron. CHAI)

By 1689 the Trade Treaty of Newchinsk established a common border between Russia and China, and Tea began its importation.T he Russians use a Samovar to prepare tea, which is a combination water boiler and tea pot, somewhat akin to the turkish way. Tea is usually sweetened with sugar, honey or jam and sipped from a glass in a silver holder. The Russians introduced adding lemon to tea (sometimes studded with cloves), and the british adopted this costume after Queen Victoria visted Russia. Caravan tea, a blend of China and India black teas, is a popular Russian variety. Tea (along with vodka) is the national drink of the Russians today.(compare that with coffee (along with beer) for America.(yeek).
