I just got back from two weeks in Mexico (I know, poor me), during which time I drank a lot of this at the two resorts I stayed at. (I really need to invest in some travel teaware so I can enjoy loose-leaf teas away from home and work.)
This is a decent bagged chai, but a bit tame in its flavours. Sometimes the water I received to steep it in wasn’t hot enough, but even when it was, I was still hoping for a bit more kick. I wouldn’t hesitate to drink it again, though, in a pinch.
I’ve been in love with tea since I discovered the awesomeness of loose-leaf tea about four years ago.
In general, I prefer black, green, oolong, and matcha teas. I’m not a big fan of flavoured teas, but every so often I come across one I like. I also like peppermint, but that’s about it for tisanes.
I recently tried matcha for the first time, and it’s seriously growing on me.
My favourite tea accessory is my chasen holder, hence my profile pic, and my favourite teaware is the shudei kyusu I got from Den’s Tea for 99 cents. I use it both for cooling water and steeping tea. Probably the best 99 cents I’ve spent. :)
