Masala Chai

Nice, balanced chai

Posted by Michael D on 30th Sep 2010

This is a nice chai, fair spiciness, with all the flavors blending well, and none overpowering the others. It holds up relatively well to the addition of milk or cream and can be brewed medium strong in order to stand up to the dilution. Not one that I would recommend for overlong steeping, as it will get bitter - be sure to use more tea instead of increasing brew time.

Personally, I could stand for even a little more spice - perhaps more on the peppery side, but that's typically where my taste buds like to live.

This is my default loose leaf warm brew - black, creamed or sweetened, it's always good.
