Just a goofy pun: Chai tea - that linguistic thing where the name of a thing is the same word for that thing but in a different language (dunno if there's a name for it, but it's a thing), pronounced (in US English) to rhyme with sky + Chi - nickname for Chicago, also rhymes with sky

So /chi t/ is a word for hot chicken?

This one I do not understand.

I'm still trying to figure out the tea part of the play on words, is all.

Fun fact: I was unable to see that there was text on that part of the signage until I opened the photo real big. Based on the logo, I'm guessing they started with the concept of a boba shop and added stuff they also serve. Can't tell for sure, as the"Story" page is trash. officialchitea.com/story

It's on their sign. At some point, they branched out from selling teas to selling....hot wings?
