A fun tea, and a portable way to have the flavors of a Thai chai blend I enjoy. Exactly the right balance of coconut, ginger, and vanilla. This is a happy, playful, afternoon-pick-me-up tea. I got a nice first steep, but the water may have been hotter than the recommended temp, because the second steep was nothing much.
Woke up one morning, January 2012, and simply couldn’t take coffee anymore. Every day since, have been amazed at how much better tea is—better tasting, better for my mental state.
Currently love black tea blends in the morning, sencha all afternoon, and white teas at night. Favorite retailers so far (not affiliated with any of course) are Den’s Tea, Harney & Sons, Butiki, Joy’s Teaspoon, and of course Verdant.
Other joys besides tea: books, travel, dogs, perfume, and Bikram yoga.
