Additional notes: I’m always surprised by how well this older-than-the-hills tea turns out. It just melds together. The coconut is hardly noticeable in this ancient blend, so I’m glad it isn’t ruining the tea yet. But the coconut lends a sort of smoothness to the spices. I love the blend of spices here… it’s the perfect amount of everything. It’s always a really good cup and because it’s a really old tea, I always expect it to be terrible.
Also, I LOVE all of B&B’s chai blends and now they have a few more.
I thought I would be getting to newer teas, but with worrying about too much chlorine being in my tap water at the moment, I don’t want the chlorine either ruining teas or my inexperience with steep times from boiling water in a pot on the stove ruining teas either. So it is irritating I’m not getting to the newer teas I also couldn’t get to reviewing during my internet hiatus… but I will gradually get used to steeping teas from the stove and start the newer teas again.
Flavors: Raisins, Spices

I only use a fridge pitcher to filter my water, not anything that hooks to the pipes/faucet. I watch the internet YouTube show Good Mythical Morning and sometimes they do a segment where they put random things through a water filter pitcher — I can remember which one they were using without finding the exact episode (and I’m at work so I can’t play it/listen anyway) but it made Mountain Dew come through clear white. The same brand of that fridge pitcher they were using from that episode may have a tap version, may be worth researching. GMM or Good Mythical Morning + water filter may bring up the episodes.
Whoa, thanks for the tip — I’ll have to find that.
Wow I used to watch that show, didn’t know that water filters could do that. We use one though. I will have to watch that episode, and now for some reason I want to know what filtered Mountain Dew tastes like.
Now that I’m not at my (actual librarian) job I can do the research legwork at home. So there were three episodes:

The water filter pitcher they are using is the “Zero Water Pitcher” (not a sponser). This is their product page:

It does not appear that they make an on tap/pipe version, only different kinds of fillable pitchers that filter water. I’m using a pitcher to filter the water I use in my tea kettle, though I’m using the PUR brand one. My issue isn’t chlorine though, just hard water water in these parts.
Thanks! will check it out!
Haha, awesome. watched all of those. Well, I definitely feel like water filter pitchers are more than just a gimmick now.
Awesome, thanks again for your research. I WAS thinking of getting a Zerowater. Originally when I saw the Mountain Dew bit I thought they really had poured water in it instead of Mountain Dew! But they they started throwing all manner of things in there.
