Wow, talk about an elaborate routine just to get things right in the timolino. I don’t know if you guys have read my posts about how I don’t think the basket is deep enough, so I’ve decided to just brew all my tea in a regular mug and then pour it (using a funnel!) into the tim tim. well, that’s all well and wonderful, except that I just chugged the entirety of my tea in one massive gulp right now because it lost so much heat.
Sooo! next time I do my routine, it’s going to involve popping the mug into the microwave before transferring.
Anyway, onto the tea itself. I’ve been playing around with it a fair bit—this morning I added cream and a spoonful of brown sugar. I actually prefer brown sugar to white in this tea, but I still don’t know that I’m crazy enough about the tea to restock (especially with companies like butiki on my mind).
So, pretty decent cup this morning, but it was too cold (my fault) and just kind of missing a “wow factor” for me. I should also add that I’m not a pumpkin fan in general though, so that likely taints my review somewhat. Ok, time to actually make myself useful at work. Have a great Friday, everyone!

I really like this one with brown sugar and almond milk. Especially the vanilla almond milk. Seems to add something to it. But I love pumpkin and this is one of my absolute favourite teas.
I just replied to your thread about the timoline issues, hopefully my solution helps a little bit! :)
MissLena, thanks for your suggestion. I’m going to check out the model at DT next time I’m down—I think you may have solved my problem perfectly!
cattibrie, I’m glad you really enjoy this chai so much—I know it has a huge following, and with good reason. It’s one of those teas that I don’t think I’d restock, but I can absolutely appreciate why others would. And hey, maybe I’ll get another sample to play with some more because of how amazing it smells.
