drank Dandelion Red Chai by Teeccino
1230 tasting notes

Day 3 of the Teeccino advent calendar! The teabags have little thoughts and sayings behind them when you take them out of the calendar, and Day 3’s saying is a prompt to do a gratitude practice. I liked that – I enjoyed that it was something both meaningful and utterly secular. As for the tea itself, I added oat milk because, well, I usually add a faux milk to chais. Unfortunately, the chai spices are pretty weak here. The carob, chicory, and dandelion base are strong and delicious. The “spice” part of it doesn’t stack up though. Generously speaking, I can find some faint cinnamon, ginger, and clove, but they’re really overwhelmed by the base. It’s tasty as a lightly-spiced Teeccino, but if you go into this expecting a robust chai, you’ll likely be disappointed.

I have been keeping a gratitude journal for well over a year now. At a few months, I didn’t think it was making much difference so I stopped. After about a week or ten days, I realized it really WAS making a difference and I went back to it. I liked myself and my attitude much better when keeping the journal! Ha ha!

It’s a lot easier to have a good attitude when you think of all the good things you DO have instead of lamenting the things that haven’t gone your way.
