If you want a super market one, I did a trial for Lipton Chai. I am a caffine addict and I quite liked this. I used to have Mocha's to to make my mind think I was doing the right thing while my body got the caffine hit
I have a box of the Lipton Chai tea I can post you as the sent me a couple fo the trial, it's unopened and still in it's wrapping. PM if you are interested and I will pop it in the post for you.
There are two I had suggested today- one is 'Byron Chai' that you can order over the phone I think (google search brings it up quickly) it's quite 'hot' from what i've heard
The other is one available at woolies, but quite expensive- Madame Flavour's SultryChai- in the health food section I think.
Chai is how you say tea in lots of central Asian languages. So Chai Tea is Tea Tea.
DH's family makes the most revolting milk chai ever. It is boiled up with milk and it has chunky bits in it and a skin on top. . If you ever visit Afghans and they offer you tea say no. Either it's black or green and it's been brewing until all the flavour is gone and nothing is left except bitterness or it's the vomitous white stuff. I feel a bit queasy now.
Mmmm vomitous bitter green stuff.....thanks, but no, I'll pass on that! The "problem" with Afghan families is they are so hospitable too. You feel like you have to partake! Although I guess if it's family, it's different?!
I might be wrong but I thought that there was a kind of no tea chai. More like a spicy milky thing. All cinnamon, cloves and honey.
