Minor disaster last week -- I ran out of tea. All I had left was some Assam & odds and ends in one canister, and the extra strength tea bags in another canister, and a box of gunpowder tea, and a box of free-trade Ceylon loose tea, and half a box of white, and a packet of Lipton's vanilla, and a packet of Twinings' lemon flavoured, and the spices to make masala chai. Other than that, nothing :(

I've been making my own chai for the past few days. Quite like it too. I need a fine mesh strainer & funnel. Tipping it from pot to pot to get the leaves out is not fun, and then I lose half of it when I try to pour it into the pot.

Got the Ceylon brewing at the moment. It's too fine for my diffusers though. Another reason to get a fine mesh strainer.

I'm addicted to the chai green tea made by Stash. Yummy :)

I can't quite bring myself to try the green tea ones. I don't overly care for green tea.

I find a lovely (Nerada Organic) chai a couple of weeks and dropped the almost full box into the kitchen sink. The only place I've found to buy it from isn't somewhere I get to regularly (which is why I ran out of tea). However, the supermarket I usually go to has a green tea version. Should try it, I gvuess
