Hasan Minhaj breaks down the wild history of chai — from British colonialism to Starbucks’ overpriced sugar bombs.
Turns out, masala chai isn’t just a delicious drink. It’s an act of rebellion, a cultural icon, and now… a business venture?

2/3rd Indians drink chai??? No 90% Indians will drink tea, I have not met a lot of people who said no to tea, maybe black tea or kahwa, but tea yes! There is some mistake in the facts here Hasan
Starbucks coffee is no match for the South Indian filter Kaapi
In Bangladesh every 2 stores and company is Kolkata/Calcutta somehting, It seems even going to the US won't save me from this curse.
An extra from Darjeeling Limited lol
didnt spiderman say chai is tea… so a coffee coffee with 2 creams….?
Starbucks Chai literally SUCKS omfg brown people stand up!!
Now why as an Indian would I drink anything from Starbucks when we have darjeeling tea, & filter kaapi?? You can’t replace peak.
2:55 Big Macs in Japan and Vietnam are essentially the same price (~US$2.90), which I find surprising, considering the GDP per capita is US$33,500 and US$4,500, respectively.
Blue Tokai is here to replace Starbucks, and not for chai…
You should have also checked Chaayos, the unicorn who is spamming us with Thandi Chai😢
Count how many times Hasan said 'Masala Chai'.
let's talk Tamil Nadu– filter coffee has americano, cappuccino, and latte versions…. and tastes sooo much better….. in much of tamil nadu, chai is hard to find and not that good.
Hasan, I just visited the Kolkata Chai Nolita location and I loved the presentation. I tried Chai Soft Serve and it was refreshing. Wish you and the team all the best 👍🏽
Hassan gaslighting Indians with the POK map
iced tea chai latte …yuckkkkkkk
Starbuck’s strategy was to brand it as luxury product but for Indian luxury come with quality
Other countries are brand conscious but majority of Indians will laugh at someone who buys anything that they think is overpriced
1:51 that's the map of India, seriously Hasan? 👀
Proud my country doesn't have Starbucks!! Not a single shop😊
He didn't mortgage his house for this….thats a typical Hasan Minaj-a-lie
This is why Taco Bell has never made it into Mexico
