The water fizzed when I poured it in my mug to steep. It definitely smells chai-like, with creaminess.
I may have oversteeped this because there’s a lot of astringency (1.5 tsp for 3 minutes), or perhaps boiling water wasn’t the answer. It’s still piping hot, so maybe I’ll take another sip in a few minutes when it’s had more of a chance to cool.
While I was out I got 4 swaps/shares in the post. Hopefully you all enjoy your teas Aimee Popovacki, Angrboda, Roswell Strange, and VariaTEA!
Update: I dumped out that cup. This time around I tried 1.25 tsp for 2.5 minutes at less than boiling.
This attempt is definitely less astringent. The coconut isn’t really present, perhaps only in a creaminess dimming the spicy chai-ness.

At this point, I don’t even think we are swapping anymore. I think we are just sharing teas. Haha.
Haha yes, I agree. Let me edit that. :P
Haha I like the edit :P
Can Courtney join our tea twinhood? We can be the three Musketeers – but less lame.
Tea twinhood? That sounds awesome.
Hahaha. I am fine with that plan.
Although I think that would make us Tea Triplets.
Tea Triplets sounds much better.
