No, it's funny but he'll get pooh-poohed about his crassness. I was just kidding anyway. I love chai tea, I make it with a bunch of sugar and cream. Still had to say it. 
Earl Grey tea is best tea though. |

There were two Chinese women where the wife worked. The oldest would normally just drink hot water. It was what they could afford when she was little and she got used to it. The other one gave me two packs of the tea she drinks. One looks like small pine needles and you have to let it steep for a while if you want to see any color to it. The other you looks like small balls of leaves you toss in the cup and by the time you are halfway through, they have reconstituted to the point they look like fresh leaves. Very light tea also. Personally I like PG Tips and Earl gray creame from Teavana.

I never cared much for tea until I got to Iraq. It pretty much jaded me on what tea is. The way they brew it, and add cardamon is pretty unique, and add in a half a pound of sugar per tiny glass it really gets you going for the day. I used to sit with some older Iraqi's at the Musayib power plant occasionally. We'd play cards, talk in pigeon English, and drink chai for a few hours. They'd tell be stories of growing up in Iraq Pre-Saddam. It sounded pretty amazing especially in the 40's and 50's. It's funny, because I've always heard the expression "I don't have time for weak tea". Now it really makes sense. |

So does that mean that Indian Chai is the same as Iraqi Chai? Quoted:
Quoted:
You do know "chai" is just the Chinese/Russian/etc etc etc word for "tea", right? That's like having some aqua water. Or some vino wine. Or using an automatic teller machine machine. The indian chai has more and different spices. |

Personally I like PG Tips and Earl gray creame from Teavana. The Chinese call this 'white tea'. A lot of people in my office drink it to stay warm (air con is set at western standards which is cold by local standards). Also, interestingly, the Chinese (along with a lot of people in Asia) think drinking cold water is bad for your health. |

I prefer Tai Chi "Thai"  tea perhaps?
Much need for the grammar Nazi here. |
