TastyBrew drank Original Masala Chai by Yogic Chai

This is a pretty decent chai when making it the quick way by steeping the tea in boiling water for about 8 minutes and then adding milk and honey. It’s an AMAZING chai when you simmer it on the stove with the milk in there. My new trick is to steep in the water and then add steamed milk. Faster than the stovetop method, but still tastes really good.

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.

I’ve always liked tea, but didn’t know much about it until the last year or so and I’m still definitely climbing the learning curve. I don’t taste all the nuances that I read in a lot of people’s reviews, but I do know what I like and don’t like. My preferences with black tea lean towards the stronger variety like Assam and roasty flavored teas, but I really don’t have a taste for smoky teas. I love dessert teas and chai, almost always with milk and honey. As for green tea, I really love nutty & roasted green teas (hojicha, kukicha, Genmai cha), the nuttier the better. I haven’t experimented much outside of japanese green tea. I’ve just started experimenting with oolong and love the milk oolong. Not so sure about the others. I don’t really like herbal teas. I like tea in my tea but there are a few exceptions.

I don’t rate the teas very often as I find I’m not very consistent at all. If I really love one I’ll rate it, but otherwise I’ll just give my thoughts.
