I am at a cafe in London where I am supposed to be meeting a friend to study together. We were supposed to meet at 12 and she is still not here. It’s 1 pm. She did mention she was running late and at around 12:40 she said she should be here soon so I am sitting and working while I wait.
When I arrived, I decided to order something rather than just occupying a table like it seems many students are doing. I was pleasantly surprised to find they offer Camellia Sinensis teas here so I went with a tea latte of this tea.
When cafes make lattes here, they put a tea bag of tea in a cup with hot water and foamed milk. So, these lattes are never as good as mine. However, this particular latte has gotten better over time with more chai flavor coming through. It is still weak and this isn’t my favorite chai but it’s certainly better than the 20 I rated it previously.
