mid afternoon mini monsoon calls for a nice milky, warm blend of masala chai! sure summer isn’t the typical time people think of undertones of cinni, cloves, carda… but then again my tea cravings are far from typical. so hah.
lovely with a steep brew and whole milk. and of course brown sugar!
yes, summer rain is now movie worthy! :)
i have traveled all my life, but the one constant food/drink that has followed me around is tea. now that i am settling down in new york city (settling down meaning for a few years), i have an urge to somehow record and remember all the cups of tea and my thoughts around them.
as i have been lucky to try a diverse range of teas from around the world, my ratings are a bit tough… but they are honest. i always prefer loose leaf teas (as the leaf quality is better) and my favorite pure tea has to be green tea. i enjoy a good blend but it has to be creative!
here are my ranks:
1-10: why is this even labeled as tea?
11-20: okay, at least there is some effort
21-40: i would drink it if there was nothing else in my fridge
41-60: good but not holding my attention.
61-70: flavor and aroma are distracting me in a good way!
71-90: delicious! i come back for a second round
91-100: too good to read while drinking. addicting. like a secret that i want to keep or tell the world. that is how good this tea is!

I agree! My cravings (all things, not just tea) do not change w/ the seasons… which makes me miserable temperature wise lol. There’s always iced:)
