Had another one of these on the train home today. This time I actually heard what the two other choices were, but I was feeling whimpy and didn’t dare try any of them. One was cinnamon which just reminded me of the over-cinnamoned chai-cino from Baresso and the other was ‘spicy’ which…. Yeah. Whimpy.

Today I noticed, though, that they sell small tins of their chais too, I guess about 100 g or 150 g or something like that. I don’t have one of those milk steaming things at home so I’m not sure if I could make it properly at home if I tried. Not like they do anyway. And they were kinda pricey. 139 kr for a tin. It’d be a shame to spend that if I can’t get it right. Remind me to ask my boss. Maybe she’ll be interested in splitting a tin.

Anyway, it was still good. I think actually I liked it better today where I knew what to expect than I did yesterday where I didn’t know. You know? Something that tastes more like dessert than beverage becomes less of a ‘mis-placed’ sort of flavour when you know what you’re getting.

I’ll get around to trying the spicy one some day when I’m feeling brave. But I’ll just get a small one then…

When in doubt, expense account!

Except not always, because sometimes that could get you fired.

Tell your boss that I fully endorse her going halfsies on the tea. If you want to substitute my name for someone more important’s feel free.

I want to hear what the spicy tastes like as soon as you’ve worked up the nerve to try it.

Yeah, I work in the public sector. I’m just a lab rat, my job isn’t fancy enough for expense accounts. I’m not even sure you can GET that in the public sector. :p

I’ll get around to trying the spicy, promise. Just be aware that I’m not expecting to like it much. :)
