Twinings English Breakfast Pure Black Tea Bags, 50 Count Box

I am definitely a chai snob, and I am not shy about it. I usually buy my chai from a pricy vendor on the East coast, and would consider it worthwhile to do it that way. Sometimes I go through the laborious process of making a very delicious version of chai on my own. But lately, I haven't been inclined to order or make chai. All of this to say that I think I know quality chai when I taste it. Twinings chai is a truly valiant effort, and is very good. Not totally authentic, but for an easily accessible box of tea bags, this is hard to beat. Twinings always tends to be a bit more expensive than other tea brands, but honestly, you can really taste the quality with this tea, and that alone makes the slight difference in price worth it. Make this tea with a splash of half and half, and sweetened to the point where your dentist calls to chastise you and you'll know why chai is so popular!

Twinings is a favorite brand. This chai blend is flavorful without being overwhelming and the spicy scent is delightful. I brew a pot in the traditional way (priming the pot with boiling water), which lasts me two days. I use a tablespoon of milk per cup, but I'm sure some people would prefer sugar or honey.
