This is the one that’s such tiny little balls that it’s almost a powder? I have some, but I’ve been logging it as something else I think…
This is very tiny tea, looks like a ctc, but MF calls it a BOPF so I believe them, looks like powder almost (which is probably what gives it its kick). But they are not tiny balls, they are not rolled and are not unrolled, the leftovers are almost like ground coffee or something.
It does not sound appealing, and they sell it for noticeably more than other much larger leaf teas, but this is just fantastic as it is.
I’ll have to look at what I have then. It’s just labelled “thai chai” on my package, but my package is a ziplock baggie from some unknown source… :)
Chai this is not, nothing else added and possibly it´s not a bad idea, a thai themed chai.
this has no added flavour, just pure black malty tea! with a lot of caffeine I think!
Chai just means tea, so I think it’s “Thai tea”. I’ll have to dig it out and have it soon. Maybe post some pictures on Instagram. :)
Maybe it will mean the same to some people including who labelled your sample, but in general chai is not the same as cha.
Cha is the original cantonese word, and countries which got tea directly from China tend to use it. Chai is the word, based on cha used in India-Persia area, and at least in the western world now mostly means a type of spiced tea like chai masala. But it´s not universal. Notice how MF called this “cha”, not “chai”!
After looking at the website, and inspecting my tea, I think mine is just a misspelling on the baggie. :D
