Original Chai Loseblatt-Tee

The whole spices in this blend make a huge difference—the cardamom and clove actually come through instead of tasting like a generic tea bag. I've been brewing a pot every morning with milk and honey, and it's become the thing I look forward to before work.

I was skeptical about loose leaf since I usually grab tea bags, but the whole spices in this blend are clearly visible and the aroma fills the kitchen the second the water hits. Steeping it with milk and a little honey has basically replaced my afternoon coffee.

The cardamom and clove come through way more than the cheaper bagged stuff I used to buy, and it doesn't turn bitter if I forget and let it steep too long. Two spoonfuls in a mug with hot milk is basically my whole morning now.
