Spicy Black Tea Chai from Dragonfly Chai

LiberTEAS drank Spicy Black Tea Chai by Dragonfly Chai

I picked up a bottle of this while shopping at New Seasons the other day. As Dragonfly Chai is a local company, I’ve tried some of their chai when it has been served to me at restaurants or coffee shops, but, I’m glad to experiment a little with it on my own. For this first cup, I made it according to instructions, using 1 part milk to 2 parts chai concentrate. Next time, I think I’ll substitute some of my coconut milk for the milk to see how it turns out.

This cup is amazingly good. SPICY! Ahchicha! And even though the pepper and and ginger are prominent to make this a spicy chai, the other flavors are tasted as well, and I like that. I don’t tend to go for chai concentrates, as I usually find them to be either too sweet, but I have managed to find a few that I like, and this is one of them. And I like that it’s local too!

I was going to post this under Krystaleyn’s log but figured I should just ask you lol
where did the links to your tea boxes you sale go? I tried links I found but the sites all seem down or disabled :( Do you still have the sample boxes? Thanks so much.

I’m sure LiberTEAS can answer this herself, but I saw a note on her teatra.de blog that said something about her running low on teas?! And therefore discontinuing it for a while to let her stash build up again. Something about it being popular? Can’t imagine why…. :P (insert glowing recommendation here…!)

Hi There! Yes, I have discontinued the sample boxes temporarily because I have not only run low on teas. I’m not really low on teas, actually, I have a ton of tea, but I had finally gotten myself to a point where I could get it under some sort of organization, and so that is what I’m working on now. Once I get things under control and know what I have and what I can offer, I will resume the sampler boxes. :)

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
