Alex_Allen drank Maharaja Chai Oolong by Teavana

Oolong? What oolong? All I taste is chai spices. Seriously, Teavana, you could have made this chai it a much cheaper tea with a black tea. I may be cynical, but it Teavana just trying to make an excuse to charge high prices for a bunch of cheap spices by threading the blend with “Ti Kuan Yin” tea leaves? If you’re looking for an oolong, this tea is not for you. If you’re looking for a chai, you could probably make it yourself at home for a quarter of the price.

Hello, I went to your “page” and read some of your stuff. You’re quite funny. I love the debate you have with yourself when you’re working with costumers. Next time I go into Teavana I will wonder if they are having that same debate. haha I want to ask you if you have ever tried making the Maharaja at home. I purchased all of the ingredients that are in the tea, but I don’t know the ratio of each to use. I am REALLY NEW at this whole tea thing. If you could give me any insight into this matter that would be wonderful. Oh yeah, do I crush everything up or put it in whole? If you want to email me instead of conversing on here feel free. daytonlori@me.com Thanks

Bio

I am planning on opening my own beverage emporium in the future. I love tea, especially hand-picked, traditionally processed, Chinese and Taiwanese teas that have given their makers a just livelihood. Oh, and of course, they have to taste good, too!

My name “cha dao,” comes from the Chinese phrase meaning “way of tea.” I try to live up to this name because the culture of tea challenges me to be more humble, respectful, hospitable, and an overall better person.
