It’s no secret that Zhi chais are my favorite ever. I thought I had more of this, but my tin is almost empty and I can’t find any back up bags. I also can’t find any bags of Cacao Chai or Coconut Chai, which is a bummer. They were the first place I encountered and fell in love with Kashmiri Chai, but they stopped making it when they could no longer source all the organic ingredients. (Super glad David’s later blended a match.) ALSO sad…. I opened my email this morning to find an announcement from Zhi saying their founder, Jeffery, died last April. I do remember encountering him on some of my visits to the first location of their tea shop, which was very near my home in Austin and I’m sad to hear of his passing. Jeffery, you blended amazing chais!
This cup is delicious as always. I’m having it with some honey and oatmilk. It’s a very warming and comforting cup that I always want to have around.
