I have been very lucky in my tea choices lately. I have another tea here that is awesome. I got a Breville tea kettle (most wonderful tea accessory EVER!), so I have been ordering and making a lot of tea. This Chai is so full bodied! The cardamon cloves swell as it steeps which I hadn’t seen before, I guess some of the other chai teas were more finely ground. I used to use the Oregon Trail or Tazo pre – made mix and added soy milk. That was very good but I needed a zero calorie alternative. I tried several varieties like Teavana’s Marahajah chai. It was OK but not quite what I was looking for. This Chai is good with a little sweetener and I don’t need any milk, so … no calories. Can be steeped 2-3 times.

I’m finishing up tin and am a little disappointed. All the good stuff has been used up and I’m mostly left with the smaller bits and pieces. I know it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have been so greed with all the yummy parts. Now there is very little of the cardamom and other spices. I steeped it strong and added sweetener but its still missing the full bodied flavor I enjoyed so much previously. Oh well, my bad.

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
