What
is Garam Chai, people sometimes ask us?
Literally
translated, "Garam Chai," means "Hot Tea."
To those of us who grew up in India, traveling in trains
meant waking up to the familiar cries of Chai.... garam
chai! floating above the cacophony as the train would
come to a grinding halt at a busy junction. With GaramChai.com,
we attempt to evoke that nostalgia for desi stuff, community
and belonging which, well, only a Garam cuppa Chai can!

tea when tea leaves blow into his cup of hot water or

Tip: In some
cultures and contexts, the term "Chai Tea" is redundant.
So if you don't want to sound uninformed, leave out
the "tea". When commonly used in the United States the
term "Chai Tea" is not redundant as it is used in the
colloquial to refer to the particular type of spiced
milk tea served in India, a.k.a Masala tea.

In
Judaism, the Chai symbol consists of the
letters of the
Hebrew alphabet
Het (ח) and Yod
(י). In the
Hebrew language, the word chai (חי)
spelled by these two letters means "living",
and is related to the word for "life",
chaim,
and also appears in the slogan am yisrael chai
(עם ישראל
חי, "The people of Israel lives!",
referring to all Jews). There have been various
mystical numerological speculations about the
fact that according to the system of
gematria, the letters of chai add up
to 18 (see
"Jewish use of the Tetragrammaton"
and
"Lamedvavniks"). Many Jews give
gifts of money in multiples of 18 as a result.

This
symbol, commonly seen on necklaces and other jewelry
and ornaments, is simply the Hebrew word Chai
(living), with the two Hebrew letters Chet and
Yod attached to each other. The concept of chai
is important in Jewish culture. The typical Jewish
toast is l'chayim (to life). Source : jewfaq.org
