Mike drank Tulsi Green Indian Chai Tea by Teabox

136 tasting notes

A Darjeeling green chai…that’s what I’m talking about! When I had that Tazo chai on Sunday, it made me want to try more chai teas, and I’m glad that I started with this one. The chai spices taste great, but not overpowering, and the light Darjeeling green tea base balances it out nicely. They recommend steeping for 3-4 minutes, but I limited my first steep to 1 minute, and it tasted just right to me. I increased the second steep time to 2 minutes, the third to 3 minutes, and the fourth to 4 minutes, and it worked out very well. I will be buying 100 grams of this soon…well, maybe 200 grams! :P

I’m a tea novice, and I’m loving my introduction to the World of Tea. I started getting into tea about 4 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. At first, I stayed with green teas, and took black teas completely for granted. However, in the last couple years I have enthusiastically added them to my daily routine. I love strong Assam black teas in the morning, and Japanese green teas in the afternoon, especially matcha and gyokuro. I have recently become a big fan of Keemuns. I’m looking forward to learning about new teas on this site and talking to other tea lovers!

As far as ratings go, don’t trust me. I’m a high rater, and I’m easily impressed. If I rate a tea lower than 70 (which is going to happen rarely, it seems), I probably will not drink that tea again. I will splurge for some teas at times, but I love a bargain, so you will often see me celebrating under-appreciated everyday teas.
