I love tea, me. I used to be a confirmed coffee drinker (and I still am: I am in a relationship with my Krups Citi-Z that some people might call codependent) but there’s always been a place in my heart reserved for a nice cup of tea. I had always thought I was too down to earth and well-adjusted for hippy tea, but a change has been afoot these past few months, and I am now a total convert to teapigs tea. I didn’t want to like teapigs, OK. I didn’t. I was all like “they’re expensive and who do they think they are with their little silky bags and quirky un-capitalised name?” and then I tried their Tummy Tonic peppermint tea, which is 100% hands down the best tea I have ever had in my life (review soon…) and I realised that teapigs make ace tea, totally justifying the (actually not that high when you think about it) price tag, and actually there’s nothing cuter than a silky little teabag. So the other day, I placed an order for 50 of those minty teabags, and a few 2-bag sampler pack. Using a discount code, my little sample packs came to only 95p (usually £1.19). In a bit of a grumpy, tired mood, I thought I’d giveChilli Chai a go, and it has perked me right up. It’s a spicy tea, but in a warming way rather than a burning way. The vanilla in the bag softens the cardamom, chilli, ginger and cinnamon, making for a very enjoyable cup of assam with a kick. I like to drink my chilli chai naked, without milk or sugar, but I think a half teaspoon of brown sugar could make this a really exciting, sweet treat. teapigs teabags are biodegradable, too, so if you compost, chuck these bad boys in! I’ll be opening the bags up and sprinkling the soggy leaves on my houseplants. teapigs-chilli-chai-tea4 Thanks for making such ace tea, teapigs.
