I love chai, especially with soy milk. It brings out the flavors of the chai more I think. And you are an excellent rhymer. ;) Tea Kettle - I checked out your blog/site - I love it! There's a lot of wonderful art nouveau pieces (a personal favorite). Thank you for sharing! Adriel - You always share the best teas at work. It makes me smile. And I think a tea tasting party would be delightful! You do have plenty of rabbits in your yard though... They might feel left out if they're not invited. Emily - Mmmm… chai.

Soba tea is toasted buckwheat and has a toasty, nutty, smooth flavor which is almost buttery. I think Soba tea is one of my favorite teas aside from Jasmine green tea and any kind of spiced tea. I'm pretty sure I saw soba tea at 99 Ranch Market. We might have to plan a return field trip and a tea tasting party for research purposes. Sorry, no mad hatters or white rabbits allowed...

In the spirit of Tea 101, chai is a black tea infused with many spices (the spice blend varies depending on where you are in the world or personal taste) and mixed with milk to make it creamy. Somehow it seems more "healthy" than coffee, even though I know that is just in my head. Anyhow, it truly tastes like a treat and has curbed many a craving for something sweet. (I apologize for that cheesy rhyme... it was completely on accident) I’m a chai girl myself.
