Chai vs Coffee

As far as I can tell, Tibetan tea (chai) is a blend of black tea, milk, sugar and special spices, including perhaps cardamom.  The monks are served tea in between classes and all of them take advantage of this break to enjoy this hot drink and talk to each other. 

I've taken a liking to Chai, but I still enjoy a hot cup of coffee in morning.  And thanks to a hot pot, some instant coffee and powdered creamer, I can have a "cup o' joe" when I wake up.
