On a trip to Daiso, a Japanese $1.50 store, I found the cutest little green dish. Of course, my first thought was, "THIS COULD BE USED FOR TEA!" I keep it in my office for my morning tea bag, so that I can reuse it for my afternoon tea. It's perfect--the perfect size and a fun pop of color on my desk. And the best part-- it's only $1.50! 10/10, Daiso. Not sure I'm using it as it was intended, but I think it's just right for my tea.

I'll be honest, I expected a lot more from this tea. At first, I didn't taste much at all -- minimal tea flavor, extremely slight spice. I let it brew longer and longer, in hopes of extracting all the flavor I could, and now it definitely tastes over-brewed. I taste some chai spices, but not much of the cinnamon. This blend is quite drying and lacks in flavor. The problem may be due to some flavors developing quicker than others, leading to a partially over-brewed taste, while also missing some. I give this a 4/10 for effort. It's not bad when it is brewed for a very long time, but I wish it was better.
