Andrea in New Mexico

Andrea in New Mexico drank PM Mantra Chai by Essencha

This is totally one of my desert-island teas right now. I love, love, love chai and am sticking to rooibos or low-caffeine as much as I can during pregnancy. This one is perfectly delicious, with or without the agave nectar and rice milk I frequently add to it.

Adagio has a rooibos vanilla chai and a decaf spiced green which is pretty much like a chai. Have you tried adding a chai spice mix like the one culinary teas to a decaf tea you like? That may give you more flavor options. Adagio also has a decent selection of decafs, especially blacks.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’m about to put together an Adgio order—it’ll be my first—and I’ll definitely try that vanilla chai and a sample of the spiced green. That one sounds interesting!

It is! I never thought green tea and chai spices would go so good together, but they do!

Bio

I’m a writer and a documentary filmmaker, and also a mama to one 13 month-old boy—with another baby on the way this spring! I’m pretty much caffeine-free these days, and learning to love the Rooibos. I grew up in Wisconsin and after 5 years in Chicago and 11 in NYC, I now live in a ghost town in the desert. And I love it.
