Firepot Chai

My first tea from this area. The taste reminds me of other high mountain greens such as various yun wu teas. The flavor is deep and savory. Definitely some umami. Sweet pea is a good way to describe the taste. It’s certainly not so much of a nutty taste as a savory geeens taste.

Decent masala chai but I was expecting something spicier. It is a very mild tea – I can’t put milk in it or the flavor disappears. Still worth a shot but definitely not my favorite.

Firepot Chai is best made by boiling 2 teaspoons of tea in 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water and 2 tsp. sugar. Steep 5 minutes, strain and enjoy the taste of real Chai!
You can also steep it for 5 minutes in 200 degree water.
