TAZO Regenerative Chai 16 Count

I first became aware of Tazo Organic Teas when I purchased a cup of Chi Iced Tea from Starbucks in 2008. After learning what brand of tea they used to make the best iced Chi Tea that I had ever tasted I discovered the Tazo Company and their great variety of various teas.After doing research on the Tazo Company I discovered their secret to consistently producing the best tasting teas year after year.Did you know that almost all tea companies purchase their teas from tea farms that are not owned or quality controlled by them? Therefore, the quality of their teas can vary from year to year depending on the amount of rainfall in the country from where they purchased their tea.The Tazo Tea Company is different. They grow their own tea using a quality controlled process called Regenerative Farming. Through this process they can control the right amount of nutrients in the soil, the right temperature of air with controlled lighting and the exact amount of hydration that will produce high quality tea plants consistently year after year.Tazo Organic Chi Tea is my favorite Chi Tea. And, most of the time I like to drink it hot with a splash of milk to top it off.Did you know that HOW you brew your tea is just as important as the quality of the brand of tea that you choose?I learned how to properly brew black teas from the British. I will now share with you what I learned from them:1. Start with a good quality tea. Choose organic teas whenever possible. Tea and coffee plants are among the most heavily sprayed crops. And, brewing such teas releases the poisons directly into your cup of tea - not good.2. Choose a cup made of glass or ceramic. Metal cups and styrofoam cups can negatively effect the taste of tea or coffee.3. Choose a cup that does not have stains or scratches. Bacteria can breed in dirty or damaged cups. This is not only unhealthy but can negatively affect the taste of tea.4. Black teas should be brewed in boiling water in order to bring out the full flavor of the tea.5. Never use tap water or distilled water. Chlorine from tap water will give tea a bad taste and distilled water lacks oxygen and will cause the tea to taste flat.6. Never use reboiled water. Reboiling removes too much oxygen from the water; only boil enough water for one serving per cup.7. Let the tea steep in the cup for a full 5 minutes. This will give the tea a rich, full bodied flavor and will release all of the nutrients of the black tea. How strong or weak you make your tea should not be determined by how long you steep your tea; instead, this should be controlled by how much water you pour into your cup.8. Never brew your cup of tea for more than five minutes. Over brewing will cause your tea to become bitter.9. Dipping the tea bag several times before removing the tea bag helps release the full flavor of the tea. However, squeezing the tea bag releases additional tannins into the tea causing the tea to taste bitter.So, enjoy your cup of Tazo Organic Chi Tea brewed and served in the style of the British.

This is my favorite chai tea. A while back I went on a journey to try to find the most authentic Indian chai tea, and found out many were all pretty weak and mild even from India. So here I am back with my regular trusted Tazo Chai. If you like a spicy and more pungent tea, this is one of the best. I like mixing it with sugar and milk and occasionally coconut oil.

I had to give up having coffee first thing in the morning and was very upset until I found this tea. It tastes great with a little honey and some frothed milk.

Then this is the tea for you I don't know why and I don't care why as long as it works sore throat I add some local raw honey and lemon. Upset stomach ginger and cream. This stuff can really save the day.

Love Tazo. Love chai. Love organic. Purchased bulk to save money. Win, win, win, win.

This tea is fantastic. However, they have a quality control problem- about half of the tea bags leak tea leaves and the tea needs to be strained. Fix that and it’s perfect.

Love this tea, but cant find in my local stores. Amazon for the win

Quick pick me up in the afternoon. Fresh tasting with nondairy creamer. Great price. Smells wonderful. Taste is not overwhelming. Choice to steep a full five minutes or 3.
