You should try it as the flavours are much fresher. To the kettle. Sadly there was nowhere local that sold them so rather than a 15km round trip it took five minutes to gring.

I keep meaning to grind my own chai but never get around to it. You can of course get those little boxes of Chai Masala by Everest from your local Indian grocery.

Of course, in this weather Chai wine will be next. We'll just have to find new chocolate eating grounds. I actually made mine without any tea and I reckon it was better for it.

My addiction is the dark peppermint. However as Mayan Gold is the only one in the range that has continued to be fair trade, you can still feel virtuous. Never being a (black) tea drinker, I have avoided chai. I make my own spiced tea in winter - a few slices of orange, lots of fresh ginger, some star anise, cinnamon bark, cardamon (as is, not roasted). Steep for 10 minutes and drink. Very yum. But mulled wine is better! I was devastated when G&B sold out to the big guys. My addiction is the dark peppermint.
