India has a diverse culture, traditions and tastes as a country, but one of the things that unites the whole country is its love for what we call tea or “chai”. Everyone loves chai, whether in the morning or right after lunch. Chai is not just a drink, it’s an emotion for most of us because it sets everything right.
