At work we are given the day off for our birthdays. The past few years I have been spending it with my sister Jill. I joked this year I was going to wear this crown. I then decided to leave it behind, and go crown less. I think Jill was glad. The weather was supposed to be nice, but it was really snowy. Thankfully Jill is the brave driver of the two of us. And bless her she drove us all around in the snow. We went to one of my absolutely favorite places- TRADER JOES!!! We need a Trader Joe closer to us. It takes us an hour to get there.
This is the closest store to me:
Trader Joe's Westlake (677)
Trader Joe's Spiced Chai takes its cue from masala chai, a lively blend of black tea and warm spices. It's a carefully crafted combination of strong black tea from India's Assam valley, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, star anise, black pepper, nutmeg, roasted chicory and vanilla bean. The blend is folded into tea bags, making chai prep simpler than ever. Carefully pour boiling water over one tea bag and steep for three to five minutes - we've found this to be the ideal time to achieve the perfect balance of tea-to-spice flavors, but you may want to adjust your steeping time to suit your tastes. Keep it simple and drink it straight, or go for a traditional Masala Chai profile by adding milk and a bit of sugar to your brewed tea.
I enjoyed this Chai with almond milk and sugar. Again Chai is the only tea I add sugar too. I think it is a requirement to add sugar and milk to chai. This chai was very good.
We're selling Spiced Chai in a box of 20 tea bags for $1.99 - that's only about 20 cents a cup! You'll find it in our coffee & tea section.
This bottled tea was very good too.
