The
Fascinating Legend of Chai
Chai literally means China and its story fittingly began
in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. It is said that
the Emperor Shen Nung was a skilled ruler, creative scientist,
and patron of the arts. He was also a very careful man,
who required that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic
precaution. One day he and the court stopped to rest in
a distant province. As the servants began to boil water
for the court to drink, dried leaves from a nearby bush
fell into the boiling water. The water darkened, and the
Emperor dared to drink it anyway. He found it both refreshing
and stimulating. And so, according to legend, tea was
created.
The Chinese valued this wonderful beverage so highly that
it was given as a gift to visiting dignitaries by the
court of the Emperor. These visitors returned home and
shared it with the Russian Czar and Indian Maharajas.
At that time in India the traditional hot drink was a
savory mixture of milk, sugar, ginger, cardamom and other
spices. A servant at the court of the Maharajas had the
wonderful idea of adding delicious Chinese tea to this
spiced milk. Everyone who tasted the new beverage instantly
loved the result. With the addition of China tea to an
Indian tradition, the world can now enjoy the wonderful
brew named chai. |
