When was the last time you had a chai and thought to yourself wow this is really good? Most of the chai 'lattes' these days from big name coffee shops are a powdered mixture or a syrup. If you asked my opinion Caribou has the best (especially if you like the traditional slightly more spicy chai). Starbucks has an intensely sweet chai (sorry couldn't stand it) and Dunn Brothers is somewhere in the middle. Generally I have a hard time finding a good chai from a packet but today I hit the jackpot! We walked into a new restaurant called Reve 324. I ordered a Coconut chai and was somewhat disappointed when they handed me a cup of hot water and a tea packet. However, as the tea steeped and the smell came out I started to change my mind. The taste was amazing. Neither the chai nor the coconut tried to overpower one another. And to add to the greatness; it was all organic. Here's all the info in case you wish to try out this or another type of their tea.
Name: Coconut Chai
Type: chai, Ceylon (a Sri Lanken Tea), black
Company: Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Purchased: Reve 324
Comments: Awesome. Can be steeped for a long time without any bitterness. I would love to try their other tea.
Have a favorite place to get chai, where do you go?

I don't like chai much because I'm more of a tea purist. But Celestial Seasonings makes a nice Chocolate Caramel Enchantment Chai that I've tried before and approved of.
ReplyDeleteI'm mostly the same way. Though if you do find chai with black tea as most of the main ingredient then I think it tends to taste better. The one you had sounds amazing. I'm going to find that.
