So, I love my tea. It's no secret. I wonder if it's some old british genes, or what. I don't really like the taste of coffee, needs a lot of cream/sugar to be bearable. But, tea: just some milk is all it really takes.
Lately, I've been really into chai tea.
Here in no particular order are my favourite chais:
1. Fairmont - I buy it loose leaf, and brew it at home. Also great with their Afternoon tea. Even though it's Fairmont, it's really well-priced.
2. Bridgehead - It's a local mini-chain, but I don't believe it exists outside of Ottawa. So those out of towners need to come visit so they can enjoy it with me.
3. Starbucks - chai tea misto. Misto, essentially for those who don't know, just means a lot of steamed milk on top. I prefer it Grande and with two bags. The standard tea misto grande comes with two bags, but some baristas don't know, so don't let them get away with charging you for an extra bag, and you really need to specify or they'll give you just one bag. One bag grande is far too weak for my palette.
4. Chai tea at local Indian restaurants, so creamy and delicious.
A non-chai favourite of late:
A. Tim Horton's steeped tea, with one milk. So nice not to have to deal with the bag(s) afterward, as it comes pre-steeped.
Ok, now I'm just making myself crave a cup, right now.
