The Early July TeaLog Catchup !
I mentioned last time that I needed to add some additional black tea to this chai. I chose an assam because a ceylon didn’t feel strong enough for the spices and I wasn’t sure about using a black teas blend, though I might experiment in the future. I decreased the steep time to that recommended for the assam. And I was rewarded with a much better cup. This chai is still heavy on the ginger. Especially so in the second steep.
2nd steep: 20+ mins.
Rating: 67 (upper nice range)
Despite some initial difficulties with the “exclusive delivery system” (I’m kind of an idiot), this brewed up to a fine – if more subtle – masala chai. I attribute the subtlety to the saffron and rose petal inclusion, yet there wasn’t much of a floral presence to speak of. All in all, decent. Just be careful with the brew-tache wings, they can slip.

I’ve been eyeing this one…but now fully admit to being intimidated by this “exclusive delivery system” you speak of…I think I may need to read the label better, cause I’m really not sure I can handle tea with “wings”. Just sounds kinda wrong.
It’s easier than it looks. But – still – an almost totally needless feature. Just be loose leaf already. heh
