My go to latte. There was a time when I had this daily as part of my morning routine. Then I bought a house and that got expensive. Then I started working from home and had no need to set foot out anywhere. That’s when I bought a Breville Tea Maker and lets just say I’ve saved quite a bit from not buying these. I feel they are pricey for what it is. Standard from Starbucks: water, milk and the syrup they use. Don’t get this confused with the TAZO stuff they sell in cartons in stores. Starbucks get it from concentrate so it’s better. I’ve bought the mix and it’s a watery version, so I ditched the idea of trying to recreate these from home.

My standard is: Tall TAZO Chai latte, Extra Hot, no water, whole milk, easy foam. There was a time when Starbucks use to use whole milk as their standard milk and I prefer the creamy texture it brings. I also don’t shy away from fat in what I eat. Sugar is the thing you need to be leery of (and this drink has plenty in it.)

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
