Well, I'm out of green tea so while eagerly waiting for my order from Kevin at o-cha.com (cause I wouldn't dare buy my green tea anywhere else), I went to a local organic produce farm and purchased some Chai tea from Stash (www.stashtea.com). What a pleasant experience if you like spicy strong tea!

I love chopped raw ginger root (and of course fresh organic garlic) on just about anything, especially fresh steamed vergetables. In fact, I can eat raw ginger root or garlic period (as long as my girl friend consumes the same - hardly ever though so I wait till she leaves). Anyway, the tea is very good, a bright reddish orangy color with an unbelieveable aroma and the post-infused tea leaves expand nicely. The aroma is so wonderful that I close my room door and a pleasant aroma fills the room. If you didn't know better you'd think a candle was burning!

Has anyone ever tried this tea? If so, what do you think?

Cheers!

Sorry, although Chai tea is a tea from India and not green I thought I would mention this interesting beverage. If you like ginger you'll like this tea.

Chai is good. I have a friend who has an Indian restaraunt here, he made me some good chai today. A little sweet, but once in awhile it's quite good.
