Is tea a chemical or physical reaction?

Deleted a wrong answer-someone said "physical." It is actually a chemical reaction because it relies on the chemical properties of water and of the substances in the tea leaf. These substances-tannins, caffeine, and many others-dissolve in the hot water. The heat accelerates the reaction, but it is not a physical change. (Try steeping a tea bag in cold water-eventually you will get tea, although it will taste a bit different, probably because heat affects the dissolution of the various substances at different rates.)

What is the the chemical formula for chai tea?

Lemon Tea is not a chemical therefore it has no chemical formula. Since it is a solution of natural products that have been extracted using hot water as a solvent there are probably hundreds if not thousands of individual chemicals in the solution. Even allowing for milk and sweetner the tea is probably at least 95% water and the formula for water is H2O.
