Hello all,
I have a question about black tea. I make black tea on a regular basis, I married into a middle eastern family and the most popular tea there is what they call "Chai" which is just another word for tea. This is a mixture of preferred spices,tea and milk.
My question is, whick black tea should I use, Ive never used black tea leaves before, I use the ground stuff, and Im looking to use the leaves. I wouldn't want anything that would change the flavor/compromise the spices.
Any inut would be gladly appreciated! =o)

CTC assam is what is most often used in chai. Adagio doesn't carry it, but it is easy to get. Just head down to your local Indian or Middle Eastern market. They've got brooke bonde, taj mahal, and a few others. You can get it bagged or loose. Get the loose.
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, dosn't try it on.
