Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. I am awaiting some Chai samples from Geek and Chamekke. I wondered, how many TeaChatters have either had or prepared Chai?

Not much tea as I'd like today, it's been busy.

Right now a green toucha from Rishi.
Very light and sweet.

Not a chai fan. Don't like spicy tea or milk in any form.
Today I had 2 cups of jasmine #9, 2 cups of Golden Spring from Adagio and a cup of Sencha.

Happy Birthday to UUUUU Mr. Eel.

Pretty good TeaDay here, hope yours was good as well.

Gyokuro from O-Cha earlier was great! Some Fukamushi Maki from Den's was great! And currently some home roast/blend of Mugi/Genmai is great!

OK, GREAT TeaDay here.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I don't drink if often but I love chai when I do have it. It is one of the great comfort foods (comfort drinks?) during the winter in my view. I usually buy it from a tea/coffee shop.

Long Jing this morning (the last of the Adagio can :( ). Gyokuru this evening. Made me think about the ocean and seaweed lazing in the summer tide; while it snowed outside!

I like a good, strong, heavily scented chai. Trouble is, most of the stuff that I get off the shelf doesn't fill the bill. It is one tea that I am going to try formulating for myself.
