Cha Cha Chai (Organic & Fair Trade)

Another very loved tea…all finished! This one is perfectly spiced and enjoyable no matter if you cook it stovetop with milk, or brew it like regular tea — which is how we had it this evening. The tea base is strong enough to stand up to all that spice (and honey, and milk!) but never bitter. I took a thermos of it to visit my mom, along with a home made cheesecake. Very nice pairing — the creamy cake and the spice are lovely together.

Many thanks to dear Doulton for this one — I enjoyed every sip and I’m sad to see it go.

Steeped in a hotel improperly the first time. It was good but this time we’re doing it right. Hot water for 5 mins and adding oat milk halfway. The aroma from the dry leaf is just what I expect from a chai. Let’s crazy. We’re frothing the milk. A great chai. Perfect spices. Slight spiciness. Goes very well with my curry.

they say it is “award-winning” but don’t say who provided the award. i probably would NOT have given it an award, although, with that said, it’s an above-average chai blend. the quality is very high, with actual cardamom pods and well-balanced spices….none of the spices overpower any of the others. it’s a very nice chai. if i had to put my finger on it, i’d just say…it’s not different. it’s not memorable, it’s not unique in any way to make it stand out. but that’s okay, right? a lot of times, you just want…plain chai. and this is a good one. so there you go.

This is a full bodied tea. It’s smooth but not spicy. It’s hard to find it in shops unfortunately.

I was very happy with this tea. This was the first Chai that I owned and made myself, and I find that about 1:3 ratio for Milk to Water with a spoon of Creamed Honey put straight into the pot makes this tea amazing.

A lovely Chai, which is a staple in my tea cabinet…. I’m having it plain now, but it is great with sugar and milk, and iced as well.
