Not as bad as it sounds… It’s chai without the masala. The Indians cook the leaves as opposed to brewing them when they make chai. the spices (masala) is optional.

That I guess would be the universal language of tea. No matter how exotic your location, most people in most places will always be happy to share a cuppa or chai.

Yikes, masala chai with little aroma or flavor!

The best tea I ever had was in the back of a gift shop in noplace, Ireland. We happened to be there at teatime, the proprietors were friendly and invited us back for a cuppa. It was super. Don’t remember the tea, but the thought of just inviting a stranger to the back room was great!

Thanks for the comment. Even though though most high streets around the world look the same these days, you just need to step off them and go into the small teashops to really feel how exotic every tea culture can be. It doesn’t have to be all Starbucks! Keep the great tweets coming.

How exotic! The pictures really bring you there. But even more than that I could just imagine being in that market with the sweet scents rolling in. It was almost as if I could remember being present.
