Indian Tea Culture

Teatrition Facts:
India is one of the largest tea producing countries in the world. Because tea in India has gained popularity in recent history, the tea culture in India lacks the elaborate rituals one would find in China and Japan. Tea in India is consumed as a morning and evening beverage. The preferred style of black tea sold by tea vendors is called Cha-ya. Cha-ya is a black tea with various spices, milk, and sugar. In the West we call this beverage Chai Tea. 

If you want to try a quality tea from India, order a tea from one of their famous black tea growing regions: Darjeeling, Assam, or Nilgiri.
