Tipu's Microground Instant Chai

This actually sounds pretty good. :)

It’s absolutely amazing.

Yeah, “turtle” is a weakness of mine stops self from drooling

HAHA! Mine too.

Ooo, that sounds pretty tasty!

Yum!

Wow! That’s a great idea!

Sounds good!

Nice to know I’m not the only one who gets a little crazy with their tea.

This reminds me to put brown sugar on my grocery list. I’ve also found that boiling water makes it less gritty and there’s no need to heat the milk since the water is so hot. LOVE this stuff!

Ok, you’ve peaked my interest. Just orderd the 4 oz. bag for a try.

I buy this by the pound :)

Its great! I made some more this morning since I didn’t have much time before going to work. So easy to shake and sip too.

Shaking hot liquids doesn’t work for me lol.

I tried shaking to make hot chocolate once…eruptions of hot, sticky, sugared chocolate milk resulted.

Heck yeah you are! Did you buy this while the code was active? Still waiting for mine- I ordered a pound for myself and 4oz for my neighbor- husband of the lady that introduced me to it. (She has an ucler so she can’t have it for at least 6 months)

No I bought it about 2 weeks ago. Wow, I don’t think could wait 6 months but that was super nice of you to pick some up.

Well she has to wait.

I know, it just stinks that’s all.

Probably it’s not the coriander which would be sweet unless it’s bad or something. Is there clove in it? That would be bitter. If you’ve gone this far with the mix and it’s aweful, it should become room freshener!

Hmm. There is clove in it, I guess that might be part of it, but I usually love clove. I loved the gum back when it was around, I used to smoke them, even chewed whole cloves when I was a kid. If it tasted or smelled like that I think I would be ok with it. Maybe it is ground ginger? I love fresh ginger but I know ground it tastes and smells completely different. It’s a pumpkin pie spice. Nutmeg? Lol! I am about to go taste my spice rack just to sort this out!

A lot of the Indians around here out black pepper and turmeric, which really turns me off.

I actually like this sans milk as well (great in drip coffee if you’re a coffee drinker)- but then again I drink things I need to sign a waiver for:) I’m getting low, but I think I may have some today between furnace runs.

I received a batch of their decaf instant. Agreed, best with milk. But it is the best quickie chai I’ve come across.

Geoffrey, you mean the concentrate? I’m under the understanding that this is the entry for the powdered form of the instant. I use the terms concentrate and instant to mean different things when refering to chai, but that’s just me.

You could be right. Couldn’t tell from the description on the tea profile.

LOVE this. But I like the full teaspoon. I’ve also found boiling water necessary then just stirring til it’s cool enough to drink. Definitely cuts down on the chunky factor verses just using water cool enough to drink right away. You could also try what I do with matcha- when you get to the end just put a splash more hot water in to drink the last of the “sludge”.

Hey Amber, Tipu’s Chai here. I’m not sure what sample you received as we stopped calling it “Microground Instant” last year when we changed the formula. We don’t call it “instant” any more for just that reason – expectations! Chai is made with lots of spices and we didn’t want to use extracts and filler to create a truly “instant” chai. So there will be spices in your cup and we believe that is a sign of REAL chai. It also creates the full bodied chai kick that so many of our fans love. It isn’t for everyone, especially if you don’t want any spice sediment left in the cup (makes the last sip unfriendly). But we think it makes a lovely flavor and allows the health benefits of the spices to really come through. Thanks for taking the time to review us and good luck on your journey through the vast land of tea!

peppery, gingery, clovey….I like it!
