Fantastic tea, one of the best blacks teas I’ve ever had. Sweet, spicy, and creamy. Great for a desert tea or partnered with something spicy or Indian. Complex, buy in bulk because it goes quick. Not easy to get perfect, and if you get it wrong, it can be pretty bad. Use 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar along with 2 tablespoons of the chai. Add 1 tablespoon of another black tea (something woodsy) and let steep for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of milk and let boil again. When boiling remove from heat and let sit for 7 minutes. Please use whole milk, it really lets the flavors out. This tea isn’t for health, it’s a real treat. Buy this!
Preparation
Just finished the last bit in the tin… I am going to miss you Ryokucha but there are so many different teas to try. Make no mistake I will be back. Maybe I will be lucky enough to meet you again in one of the Lounges. I have a feeling it will add to the experience. (Need to get to the west coast first though.)
Preparation
Complex tea. Malty, full bodied, leafy, with a brown rice and milky flavor. Very good and energizing (matcha powder). Good alone as a meal or mixed with wheat or put in soup with rice, vegetables, and salmon for a great meal.

Not to get all freaky-outy on you, but I KNOW!!! ISN’T IT THE BEST???
