OMG! OMG!!! Fargo, North Dakota, USA now has a tea shop!! It’s called STEEP ME a Cup of Tea and it opened only two weeks ago. It’s a 15 minute drive from my place. I heard about it today on Facebook and immediately drove over there. I had an appointment to get my glasses so I wasn’t able to linger. However, I did manage to spend the rest of my birthday money in 5 minutes. :)
I picked up an ounce of this one, Extra Spicy Chai, and an ounce of Ginger Peach. Late this afternoon I brewed up a pot of it. I know most people enjoy milk in their Chai, but I never put milk in my tea. I know, I know, I’m a barbarian.
Anyway, the color is a rich amber, not as dark as a Scottish breakfast tea or as light as some white teas, but a nice rich golden brown. The flavor is good. It’s a typical chai blend. Nothing outstanding, but very nice. The rooibos isn’t especially noticeable, so that’s good. As for “Extra” spicy, I think the Good Earth Original is spicier than this. But I had no trouble finishing the entire pot. :)
Flavors: Cinnamon
Barbarian, heh.
