I've been on a real chai kick and got the biggest available size of this tea a month or so ago and I'm already nearly through it. I love it with milk and sugar, it has some caffeine and a spicy complexity that gets me going in the mornings. It's amazing cold too, if I don't finish the pot before it goes lukewarm I'll put in a glass bottle in the fridge for later.
Oh and buy loose leaf tea. Even cellulose and paper teabags are apparently riddled with micro plastics.
Ya, I need to get off the bags. I had no idea about the micro plastics. I'm running by my kitchen store here in the next few days and buying a basket strainer.
How do you brew yours? I've also seen the little baskets on a string. It seems like that could work. Idk the basket seems like the most straight forward easiest thing to do.
I'm not sure how I feel about the flavors, I always hated them in coffee, I'm hesitant to order flavored tea.
The latching baskets, the little spring spoons, cages, muslin bags, I've tried them all and absolutely nothing is as convenient or easy as just getting a pot with an inset stainless steel infuser. The infuser just fits around the inside of the tea pot rim underneath the lid, and when my tea is ready I can dump used tea leaves right in the compost bin with a good tap or two, rinse it and it's ready for another pot. Highly recommend it, don't mess with anything more complicated.
