Alphakitty drank Tazo Chai Tea Concentrate by Tazo

It’s 3 in the morning and I am mildly lactose intolerant, so I have no clue why I am drinking something with both milk and caffeine. Well, I do know—I saw it in the fridge, realized I hadn’t opened it yet, and some part of my brain though “oh awesome, let’s have this instead of water!” Thanks, brain.

This is one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, it’s not “real” chai by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s so delicious! You can taste the spices for sure, though the tea taste is a little lost under all that sugar. But hey, who cares! It’s tasty, and I really consider this more of a “specialty drink” than actual tea.

I like their Chai, but never had their concentrate.

Saw this at the grocery the other day and passed it up. For some reason I thought it was an “add your own milk” concoction.

I like their vanilla version a lot.

@Barb, you do have to add milk. I’m thinking of trying it with almond milk to combat the nausea this inevitably gives me.

My local Target sells cartons for like $7, so it’s definitely worth trying out! It’s tasty, in an indulgent “my kitchen is now Starbucks” sort of way.

IIRC Costco does or did sell a 3-pack which worked out to be quite a bit cheaper. My sister likes(d?) the stuff.

Tea has always been a passion of mine, though I got away from it during college. A lack of cupboard space and a constant influx of people into my suite made me pretty much abandon my teas at home. But now that I’m done with school, it’s definitely come back with a vengeance—to the point where I’ve purchased about 65 different kinds in the past 3 months!

I like most kinds of teas—yes, even peach, which I used to think I disliked!. Oolongs are definitely my favorite, and I’m an avid fan of earl grey, floral teas, and chai blends along with anything melon. The only kind of teas on my “no” list are rooibos blends (which gives me headaches) and banana flavored ones since bananas are public enemy #1 in my mind.

The best thing about tea for me is how you can be passionate about it and still have it integrate into all of your other hobbies. I like a lot of things: writing, video games, books, sewing, figure collecting, astronomy… it’s a long list. But whatever I’m doing, I can have a cup of tea in hand!
