The art of brewing chai tea correctly.

Apparently, only few coffeehouses are able to brew a drinkable chai tea. Chief among them is Starbuck's, thankfully; I always gladly buy a cup there, although I've already learnt that their "Chai Tea Latte" is undrinkable due to its high sugar content.

McCafé, also, has a really tasty chai tea that I must have drunk liters of by now.

Not so good (read: disgusting) is the chai tea sold by Dunkin' Donuts (I almost suffocated due to inhaling a lungful of loose cinnamon powder) and by the coffeeshop around the corner where I work whose "Chai Tea Latte" apparently consists solely of vanilla syrup by the bucket-full, spices and milk. Yech.

Gotta brew myself a cup of black tea flavored with cocoa beans, vanilla and coconut to get that vile taste out of my mouth. "Brazilian Baía" by Twinings; a vice I owe to [livejournal.com profile] slashbabe - thanks. :-)

That sounds delicious! Twinings also has a Chai tea that I personally quite like. But then I also like Starbucks' Chai Tea Latte so our tastes are probably not all that similar. *shrugs*

It is delicious - the next time we meet (btw, do you intend to come to the Querstrich meet next month?), you have to taste it. :-)

You know, you can add more than the half-spoonful of sugar I take per cup. *g*

Oh, I would love to! And yes, I do plan to be at the Querstrich meeting next month :D .

And I think a full spoon of sugar would be nice, yes. *g*

Okay, then I'll bring a Brazilian Baía teabag just for you. :-)

Tell [livejournal.com profile] mamoru22 that she'll better stock up on sugar, though. *eg*
