I’m not a huge chai fan. It’s never been one of my favorite teas, but today was cold and I had this, so I brewed a pot to take to class with me. I’m pleasantly surprised. It smells more chocolatey than it tastes, but it’s definitely more mellow than most chai teas I’ve had. It’s also possible I’m not really brewing it well. I’d welcome any suggestions or tips from chai-lovers! It’s still not my favorite, but it’s definitely nice on a cold day.
I like mine a couple ways, but the leaf amount is always the same 1 heaping teaspoon per 6oz serving. 5min steeping in boiling water (for black based chais) if you’re going to drink it neat, 6 if you’re going to add any milk or creamer. I like to change up my water:milk ratios- either 1:1 or 1:2. 1:1 is most common for me. Or I add 1TB of creamer per 6oz cup.
