no sir. you've never had chai before?
it's a tea that originated in india (centuries ago) with lots of different crazy spices like ginger, taragon, nutmeg, cinnamon....and SPEED. straight up drugs in the tea.
the toned down american version is pretty damn good too- there are many varieties but i dig big train chai (the brand above).
it tastes nothing like choco milk :) |

Well there's fruit based tea that seriously tastes like fruit and that I can't stand either.
But there's something about the tea that has some leaves from the trees itself and not the actual dried fruit that is humm different.
Btw I did say it was cherry blossom ;) that's flowers :P
I don't even know if my explanation makes any sense but there's huge differences between so called fruit flavored teas. |

yes yes !
chai is ok for me. I actually have some here now. its a bit too sweet so i only do it once in a veal moon. but that sounds good now.
stick me on a ventilator to some Thai tea. That is super syrupy sweet. It took me forever it find it. Try it! Made with cononut milk, half and half. It's orange in color. If you live nearly any Thai restaurants, they are sure to have it.I used to call a restaurant on delivery for just a Thai tea once a week.
Also, White Tea!!! Iced. Sooo refreshing. Better than Green, hands down. It also contains more health benefits as well from what I've heard.
Also, not to disappoint Fastmp3, Moroccans drink a hot tea in 840609287 degree weather that is deadly, visciously, ant crawlingly sweet, loaded with spearmint to the brim. It's artery clogging sinful. :crazy:
Here's the White Tea I've had:
