I’m drinking this tea without milk this morning, which seems totally wrong for a chai but it works somehow and the results are decent. Interestingly enough, I can taste cloves like WHOA! which was something I didn’t get when I added milk.

I drink chai just plain (or steeped in coffee) when I want something spicy, but not milky in texture. Or when I’ve consumed my 1 serving of milk and don’t want to over do the calories. My favorite non latte drink at starbucks is a tall double shot double pump (each) mocha caramel americano w/ 2 chai bags.

I’ve gotta go full out traditional prep when it comes to my chais. It’s about a 30 min process.

Holy crap Lena! Please share your process step by step. P.S. I got my teas! I just need to find a ride to the post office and I’ll send yours out.

For a person that is very picky about their tea/spice ratio, I LOVE that they list it. I wish more companies would.

I’m a university student in her mid-twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.

I’m also a self-proclaimed Grammar-Nazi, and improper capitalization and spelling invariably makes me twitch (yes, I mean you!)
