I'm really picky about my chai. Being lucky enough to enjoy fresh brewed cup from scratch at a local cafe I suppose I'm a bit spoiled. When I make it for myself it usually involves pan-roasting the spices, adding fresh ginger and steeping the masala (spices) for at least an hour or so.
That's why I was taken aback by the White Chai (#18) from Remedy Teas. It's a mix designed for quick steeping which made me expect the weak Oregon Chai-like brew with a bit of a nasty aftertaste. This was nothing like that. While not as robust as a slow-brewed cup of home made chai it's a perfect everyday tea and best of all has the effervescent taste for which Silver Needle known balanced with cardamon, ginger, and all the other classic chai masala spices. It warms you up without getting you wired.
