Tas"tea"

Nothing like having a hot cup of tea on a cold and frosty afternoon. I like the word Chai better than tea. The day I saw chai added to the StarBucks menu, I celebrated by having 2 cups of it though the Chai doesn't taste like our usual tea. I don't remember exactly when I started drinking chai. I wasn't this big a fan till I started making chai myself. Modesty is not my forte and I just love the chai I make. It doesn't matter whether I am the host or the guest, I always volunteer to make Chai. Almost everyone I know knows why. Because I make the best chai or so I claim. :-)

Drinking tea in this kind of weather is blissful. The kind of people I don't want to talk to or see in this mood are the ones that say "I don't drink tea or coffee" with a peculiar expression on their face and a long pause that tacitly says "You do? Poor you! Very sad that you don't have good habits like not drinking tea. Maybe you can go to rehab or something and get over this addiction". ok, I am exaggerating but there are people that assume a moral highground because they don't drink tea or coffee. My friend pointed out this to me and I totally agree. They have to taste tea once and they know what they are missing. I am sure "Kaapi" drinkers would have similar words for them.
