Chai, or chiya in Nepali (pronounced chee-yah), milky tea is the most widely consumed hot beverage in Nepal, where it is enjoyed throughout the day, starting in the early morning. Many people drink several cups of milky tea instead of breakfast, followed by an early lunch. These days, tea bags have become more popular in Nepal, but loose black tea is still preferred for its richer flavor, color, and usually, lower price. Tea is grown mainly in the eastern parts of Nepal
