I like sorting through the varieties of “chai” themed teas out there – this one centers the flavors more around the ginger and pepper side of the spectrum than the cinnamon and nutmeg. This is a good one to brew strongly and mix with milk and sugar.
Grandma introduced me to tea as a kid (lipton with milk and sugar; a bit poured into the saucer to cool it down and then sipped from there), and I’ve never looked back. Still have a slight preference for teas that go well with milk (or even better, cream) and sugar, but since Grandma’s day I’ve branched out to appreciate green and white teas, rooibos and pu erh. Absolutely love Mariage Freres!
