Oregon Chai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oregon Chai is a hot, tea-based beverage prepared with steamed milk, vanilla, a sweetner (usually sugar, or honey), and other spices. It is distinct from chais deriving directly from the Indian subcontinent because the dominance of spices like cardamon, pepper, and nutmeg, are muted. Some confusion exists, as Oregon Chai is also a brand name, but the term has become to refer to any Westernized version of the Chai. Nearly any "Chai Latte" ordered at a coffee chain is probably more kin to the sweeter Oregon then true spicy Indian Chai.
