Azzrian drank Shahrzad Indian Kalami by Kusha

This tea was given to me by a client who is from India. She told me this IS in fact the tea they use to make chai. I have since sent it to a trade buddy who loves Indian black tea.

A friend of mine just recently told me her Indian ex-in-laws used to make chai with a cardamom pod or two and a Lipton tea bag!

LOL are you serious! Well I guess even in India people take the easy way out!

I guess so. I have been told that the most popular coffee in Turkey is not Turkish Coffee, but Nescafe.

I guess it’s an Assam-which I thought was usually used to make Masala Chai.

Yup with the right Masala spices which she also gave me a couple of packs of. Great for a meat rub too.

The thing is that every chai wallah uses their own recipe to make chai, so it isn’t reliant upon any one particular tea brand. Most traditional chai blends use Assam, but even that isn’t the only chai used to make a chai blend, as some use Nilgiri instead, and still others use Ceylon.

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/
Posted every evening at 6 EST.
I usually try to post the exact date that the full reviews will post however sometimes post dates need changed so it may not always be correct. Generally the dates are correct however.

About Me:

Most of my reviews, although not all, will be quite favorable of the tea. This is not because all tea is excellent, but more so because I generally will not waste my time on an inferior tea. If I do not care for a tea I won’t continue to drink it let alone spend time reviewing it. If you see a review by me you basically know it is a quality tea. Granted it may not suit your specific taste buds, we all like different things, but as for a tea on the whole it is a good one, from a good company.

I am a spiritual advisor by profession.
I have two “young adult” children.
Four cats and three dogs.

Some of my hobbies include gardening, essential oil therapy, natural perfumery with essential oils, and cooking.

I look for complexity overall in any tea, dimensions to the flavors.

I believe tea should evoke a feeling, thought, emotion, or attitude.

I enjoy most all oolongs, blacks, whites, and greens.

I always love to try a good yellow tea.

I favor unadulterated teas but I do have my longings for a good flavored tea now and then so I don’t rule them out by any means!

I enjoy green rooibos don not like red rooibos.
