Oh dear, the sleeping pedant has awoken again. "Chai" is the Indian word for tea. In the Western world we've taken it to mean tea with spices, sugar and milk. Still there's no need to say "chai tea", as that means "tea tea".

Peter, did you find the Republic before or after I first mentioned it here? They do have such excellent tea though, I've tried other brands since discovering them, but have always come back. I'm done exploring now, and will just stay with them.

The Republic's Green Chai is one of my favorites, but I make it without milk (I simply will not tolerate lactose). Still add sugar, though, that seems to bring out the spices even more.
