Chai isn’t just a beverage; it’s an emotion in India. From roadside tapris to fancy cafés, tea fuels our gossip sessions, late-night work, and winter mornings. But, amid the love for chai, a lot of myths float around. Let’s bust a few, desi-style!

“Chai Makes You Dark!”
Ah, the classic rishta aunty myth! How many times have we heard this? Truth bomb: chai doesn’t determine your skin color. Whether you drink masala chai or green tea, your melanin levels stay unbothered. Enjoy your chai and leave fairness myths behind.

“Chai Stunts Your Growth”
Beta, you’re short because of chai? Nah, blame genetics. Tea doesn’t stop your height; instead, it might actually boost your mood and energy. So sip guilt-free and leave the height debates to your family WhatsApp group.

“Chai on an Empty Stomach is Dangerous”
“Don’t drink chai without nashta!” says your mom. Okay, having chai with samosas is heavenly, but drinking it alone won’t send you to the hospital. Just don’t overdo it, or you might feel a little acidic—like your nosy neighbor

“Tea Addiction is Real”

Sure, chai lovers can’t go a day without their kadak chai, but let’s be honest, it’s not an addiction—it’s a lifestyle. Besides, what’s life without a little chai in the morning and a lot of drama in the evening?

“Green Tea Melts Belly Fat”

Drinking green tea and expecting six-pack abs? Bhai, you still need to hit the gym! While green tea has benefits, it’s not magic. Enjoy it for the antioxidants, not shortcuts.

So next time someone throws chai myths your way, just sip your tea, smile, and say, “Chai piyo, chill karo!”
