If the story of Oregon Chai was a fairy tale, it might go something like this... Once upon a time, there was
a girl who was traveling in a faraway land. She came upon an old man peddling a drink he called "chai".
With one sip of the heavenly potion, the girl fell under a magic spell. She vowed to devote her entire life
to the delicious cup in her hand. Then a dragon ate her. It's all true, except for the dragon. The Oregon
Chai story begins with a trek through the Himalayas, a villager selling chai (12 cups in this case), and a return
to America where no chai could be found. Kitchen experiments began in March of 1994. The resulting
concoction was distinct and delicious. Traditional chai's American cousin, Oregon Chai, was born. All it
took was four women with a newfound chai passion and an obsessive need to preach the gospel of chai.
