The harvest moon is set apart from all other full moons because instead of being yoked to a month, it relates to its proximity to the autumnal equinox. Most years it indeed does happen in September, but sometimes the Harvest Moon replaces the normal full moon for October, the Hunters Moon. In China, the biggest holiday of the year after Chinese New Year \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinahighlights.com\/festivals\/mid-autumn-festival.htm\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Mid-Autumn Festival<\/mark><\/a> \u2014 is tied to the Harvest Moon. The holiday compels people to carry and display lanterns of all sizes, symbolizing beacons that will lead them to prosperity and good fortune. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/honor-this-months-rare-blue-supermoon-with-mooncakes-and-tea\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Pastries called mooncakes<\/mark><\/a> that are filled with sweet bean purees and other ingredients are eaten with abandon during the festival.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The autumnal equinox takes place September. On this day, as with the spring equinox, the Sun is precisely above the equator, making day and night equal length. It marks the beginning of fall, and the end of summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>September 21 is National Chai Day!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fall calls for chai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most sentient beings in the Northern Hemisphere, we thrill to autumn. The summers have grown hotter, and longer. While we sizzle, we anticipate the subtle but delicious ratcheting down of high temperatures from the 80s and 90s into the 50s, 60s and 70s, the shorter days, the sweaters, pumpkins, falling leaves and soups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, an amped desire for hot tea. With autumn\u2019s procession of baking \u2014 and spices like cinnamon and ginger that infuse the crumbles, tarts and scones \u2014 we always experience a keen ripening of desire for chai as the season tightens its grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, we are tea importers and merchants. We now carry 11 chais, which means our thirst for India\u2019s national beverage never needs to go unquenched.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither does yours!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is chai?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1559\" width=\"602\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_166874362-1600x1068.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cooler temperatures and fall baking inspire us to turn to chai.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In China, the birthplace of traditional tea from the <em>Camellia sinensis<\/em> shrub, tea is called \u201ccha.\u201d It follows that in India, where people have been sipping tea for centuries, it is called \u201cchai.\u201d So in the subcontinent, chai simply means tea, whereas in the rest of the world it refers to a specific kind of tea, one threaded with spices and often sweetened and balanced with cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Indians have prepared tea for a long time, the preparation with spices, sweetener and milk didn\u2019t begin until after British colonization. The Brits, who became huge tea exporters, enjoyed their tea with milk and sweetener. Once the British left India, locals put their own spin on the style, by adding spices and even ingredients like salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People across the nation drink chai every day, and small chai vendors called \u201cchai wallahs\u201d appear on street corners everywhere, serving steaming cups of spicy chai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We adore all of our chais, ranging from highly traditional Bombay Chai to our custom organic Ku Cha Chai.
