Ceylon Black Tea Chai Spice from DeKalb County Farmer's Market

Tabby drank Ceylon Black Tea Chai Spice by DeKalb County Farmer's Market

You guys have no idea how thrilled I am to discover this place’s tea section! All the loose leaf teas are like 3 dollars apiece and you get about six ounces! I am probably not going to order any teas online for a while since I have this right around the corner… it’s almost too good to be true. There are so many to try!!

This is wonderful chai. I knew I was going to love it when I opened the container and was hit by the strong spices. They translate just as well into the tea, but without it being so much that it burns. I’m tasting clove and ginger the most, followed by cinnamon and cardamom. Mmm. I can’t wait to try this with half and half. It will be decadent.

I also can’t wait to experiment with steeping times. The Ceylon remained mellow after almost six minutes, so that’s a good sign.

EDIT: I took a picture and added it, since the official website didn’t have anything.

Bio

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. 20-something and living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, EBM/industrial geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

I prefer black and fruit teas, but I’m trying to broaden my horizons. My favorites tend to be yunnan tips, earl grey, golden monkey, chai, and darjeeling. My favorite add-ons are plum, cinnamon, coconut, apple, raspberry, bergamot, cucumber, sage, vanilla, and caramel.

I’m shy about green tea, curious about white, and learning to love oolong. I hate rooibos and anything with orchid, fennel, or jasmine.

I’m currently trying to grow my own tea. I have a 2-year-old potted Camellia sinensis, and I plan on picking a tiny bit of new growth this spring for my first try at drying my own leaves.

I have a habit of shopping at Asian grocery stores, so I end up pioneering a lot of teas that are new to Steepster.

I’m always down for a trade, so feel free to browse my cupboard and note me!
