Stash company is so far ahead in bringing us one high-quality tea blend after another.
Here is my latest favorite: CHAI SPICE.
As its red packaging suggests, this a tangy, spicy, hot-textured blend, perfect to take care of that 3 p.m. afternoon slow-downs.
It's got black tea, cinnamon, ginger root, cinnamon flavor, clove oil, allspice, clove, nutmeg, and cardamom oil. It comes in decaff version as well.
You want to give your taste buds a workout? Then this is your tea for sure. But take it easy. If you drink two bags in a row, for example, it may upset your stomach or give you a headache. Don't let your teabag sit in your cup for too long.
I prefer one a day, at most two, sometimes with a slice of lemon for that extra metabolism kick. It's enough to rev up your system a notch or two.
Also recommended: try it with milk for a milder ride late at night.
You can cool it off, save it in the fridge, and try it later cold as well. A few ice cubes will transform this strong cinnamon-clove blend into a delicious ice tea offering indeed. Perfect for hot July and August afternoons.
A delectable tea for waking up from any siesta. Enjoy!
Available (both regular and decaff) from Amazon.
