It’s definitely chai weather here today with these flurries out of nowhere (come back, mid 40’s weather). I couldn’t really figure out what I wanted when I got home from work today, I literally stared at my tea cabinet waiting for a sign or some tin to shout out “you want me”. I almost went for my favorite earl grey when I saw this little guy hiding out in the back. This one has a very dry leaf nose to it, which is usually not my favorite but the ginger and peppery kick made me keep sipping along. There are also these cute colorful pieces of fennel candy throughout that give it this very slight hint of sweetness. Overall, a very satisfying chai.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Earth, Peppercorn

200 °F / 93 °C 8 min or more 3 tsp 17 OZ / 502 ML

Bio

Used to be a big coffee drinker, but over time I realized coffee all kinda tastes the same to me so I switched teams.

I am a bit of a foodie. I love to cook at home and try new things. I especially love to find ways to incorporate tea into my cooking. I am a huge book nerd (it’s the only thing I have more of in my house than tea), and I also collect and read comics. I’m a really big scifi/fantasy/horror fan across the entertainment board (books, TV, movies, games, etc). My dream is to have my own tea and book store where I can hang around with other people who really just want to talk about tea and books, and maybe show me pictures of their cats. I also plan on one day owning a very fat french bulldog.

In the tea world: Greens, whites and rooibos are my current favorites. I can always enjoy a good herbal or oolong though. Blacks are kinda bleh to me, but a good yunnan or blend of one could get me interested. I am way more into straight teas then I am blended, though I own more blends than straight teas (go figure).

Currently employed by David’s Tea, so I personally think for a tea junkie I have a pretty ideal job. I’m always down for steeping something new. Suggestions and trade are more than welcome!
