This tea find will be of particular interest to my readers on the East Coast in the U.S. Yesterday, my husband and I took a productive trip to the discount grocer, LIDL. While there, I was surprised to find this loose leaf tea blend from 1001 Delights called "Chai Tea." The package lists the following ingredients for this blend: black tea (rainforest alliance certified tm), ginger pieces, cinnamon, chili flakes, cardamom, black pepper, orange peel, and cloves.
Earlier this morning, I brewed a pot of this tea and found it to be lovely. I enjoy my black teas plain, even chai blends, and enjoyed this one plain as well following a 5 minute steep.
I am sharing this find because the taste is good and the price is quite a bargain. This 5.2 ounce bag (FSC certified paper packaging) of the loose leaf chai tea blend cost $2.99 plus tax. That speaks for itself.
I just purchased this tea from LIDL last night. I was pleasantly surprised to find proper tea at this store as well. It was so reasonably priced, as you pointed out. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped but, for the $2.99 price, it's good enough.
