However, I was recently very surprised and came to the following conclusions:
a) I sort of like Chai from Fortnum and Mason.
b) I realise it is a nice drink when you have cold. I cannot explain it but drinking it makes you feel a bit better. It sort of alleviates the cold symptoms. Only tiny little bit but still...you feel a bit more revitalised afterwards.
c) Chai teas are different.
So far I have tried two. One is a pure Chai from Fortnum and Mason. Pure in a sense that it is blended with ingredients that should be there (I am sure it is only a fraction of what could be added). Another one is from Tea House Emporium (Tea shop/room in Bath). Their Chai deviates from straight path by adding cooked(black) Pu-Erh, or should I say they added Chai to Pu-Erh?
Pu-Erh Sweet Chai - not my cuppa. Too pungent. Then again, wifie likes it and drinks it now because she has got the same virus/cold as I do and she noticed that it is a pleasant drink when you feel like that.
Anyway, lunch time, thus Yorkshire Gold dust.
