Why the hell do they call it CHAI tea to begin with??
Chai= tea in Chinese, so it makes no sense to me!
What a stupid name!

cha (chai) is the word for tea in many asian languages -- when people say chai tea, they usually mean a spiced black tea with milk -- the spices can vary to your taste

I always thought 'chai' meant 'tea'. So for me it means tea-tea.
