Organic Mountain High Chai from two leaves and a bud

Steepster Score 12 Ratings Rate This Tea

80/100

Organic Mountain High Chai

Black Tea by two leaves and a bud

A traditional chai that starts with true Assam tea (not cheap “blending tea”) and adds only the true ingredients of chai: Cinnamon, Clove, and Cardamom. Fabulous with milk and honey!

Thank you hannaspring for this Sample Tea!

Comfort tea is needed again today.

Colorado has really been through some tough times lately.

First the fires… 2 lives and 720 homes lost.
Now a massacre.
A college student came here last year to go to grad school. WHY did he kill?

Why?…. is one of the themes that runs through life.
“Why?” And, “It’s not fair.”

My children used to say that to me. “Mom, it’s not fair.”
“Yes, Aaron (or Anna), life is not fair and never will be fair.”

Pain, suffering and death does not respect who is inflicted.
In the same way noone complains about an unexpected, undeserved reward. We delight in the good fortunes that arise in life without feeling bad about it .

Today is very sad though. I want to take the opportunity to tell the ones I love how much I value them.

I’ve been drinking Chai for comfort. I like the ginger and the scent.
I picked up the fragrant teabag which was all lumpy with spices…and brewed 3 minutes.
The scent was so full and sweet. I could smell the orange with the cardamom, ginger,clove and cinnamon.
There was a good bite of spice without bitterness.
I added almond milk and sweetening which almost doubled the volume in my mug.
Yum nom as many Steepsters say.
I can see why a large package of these sweet Chai tea bags would be nice to have available for home or to take on the road.
I honestly do like this Chai! A warming hug type of tea.
(I’d love to give more oomph to this review…but I’m in a mood that is too quiet right now.)

Might be a good time to join with all who oppose evil in the World… and lift up the families who have lost loved ones. The people still in the hospital and critical… so many who are in shock.

(I will pray…as the vigils (watchfullness) continue….lighting a candle)

We Steepsters are people who care.

For those who died. Memory Eternal! http://youtu.be/VIxQ_B3Wpzg
(The music is Rachmaninoffs full Vespers…very beautiful…I heard it live 2 years ago.)

I hardly ever drink chai. I don’t hate it. I just never crave it. This one makes me think Constant Comment light. I like CC so I am OK with that. This has a touch of pepperiness. Don’t hate it. Don’t love it. It’s chai.

I am currently posting this from a boat. My mom and I took a casino boat out today since its such a nice day. This casino boat is nice and if you play your cards right (pun intended) and don’t gamble much, you can get a boat ride for free. Yesterday, since I was running around doing various errands, it was a day very absent of tea. Today, I came prepared. I brought along several tea bags. In addition, I know the cups they have on this boat are really small, so I brought along my celestial seasonings travel mug. And this was the first tea I brewed. 

As other Steepsters mentioned the flavor is mild. I didn’t put anything in this and it’s just kinda meh. I might try adding milk and/or sugar next time around. I’m going to leave a rating off though since the tea might be old and the blandness might just be from age. 

In my last tasting note I mentioned how the next infusion I would add milk and sugar to help give the chai some oomph. 

So they give you free drinks on the boat as long as you gamble. I got myself a mudslide. Then, I had the brilliant idea to toss it into my already brewed chai. The result? Uh..not much. Now my chai just tastes like mudslide. I can’t taste any chai in here. But it was the second infusion, and the chai wasn’t very potent to start with. It was worth a try.

I really like this! The Chai flavors are subtle and the orange is just 1 step ahead of the spices! This was very nice!

I decided I needed a chai latte today!

The spices in this blend are not as complex as in some other blends but it is still very flavorful and rich tasting.

A delicious treat for this early evening!

I enjoy the spiciness of this chai. As with all my tea, a touch of sugar in the raw helps bring out its more subtle flavors and the overall effect is quite nice!

I have found that if the water is too hot or if you steep too long the leaves burn and bitter flavors will dominate the cup. So go easy and find your sweet spot. My times and temps are estimates as I’m out of stock at the moment. Your mileage may vary! :)

My humans like chai, and they’ve tried several different kinds. This one is, to say the least, unique. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/review-two-leaves-and-buds-mountain.html

My favourite Two Leaves & a Bud tea. If you’re a chai lover you should try this one. Served at a lot of restaurants which is so nice.

I really enjoy the flavour of this tea, its a little pricey for me but made more enjoyable as it was a gift.

Just made some with milk and a little bit of honey. Loved it! Not too overpowering.
