I am smiling while sipping my tea - This tea is so delicious. For my taste it is a little strong. So I add some loose leaf pu erh and to cloves. Mmmm mmmm My brother loves as is. There is not doubt this is good tea. Some of the best . So my complaint may seem pettty. However it is a big deal to me and one of the reasons I buy. Infact the price went up but I thought SO !. It comes in a great tin. The tin was a REALLY big deal. I know , I know then go buy tin. I like theirs! it was great quality . I liked to use for snacks too. I just feel if they are raising the price so , they could keep tin. I am going to say one more time. There is nothing I can say bad about the tea. As upset as I am about the tin. I can not give less than 5 stars. Review: Love it - Very good and tasty ## Features - Rich, malty, and spicy, blending especially well with milk and sugar. - Chai is an integral part of life in India and simply translates to ‘tea’ in Hindi. In India, ‘chaiwallahs’ (tea vendors) are present at street corners, brewing basic black tea with spices. - Chaiwallahs in India offer Chai in simple kettles and small tapered glasses. ‘Kasoras’ (Chai cups) made of low fired clay are also famous for imparting a distinct earthiness to the brew. After drinking, people will typically Throw away the kasoras. - The tale of ‘500 mile Chai’ originates from the many late night truck drivers stopping at small Chai stands, ‘dhabas’, on the Highway and asking for really strong, sweet Chai to help them drive “for another 500 miles.” ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08FKGL5P6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,023 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #118 in Chai Tea | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (433) | | Item model number | TOT91000 | | Manufacturer | AmazonUs/TAOH9 | | Product Dimensions | 4.45 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches; 4 ounces | | UPC | 689951910004 689951910059 | | Units | 4.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** The Tao of Tea - **Flavor:** 500 Mile Chai - **Item Form:** Loose Leaves - **Tea Variety:** Chai - **Unit Count:** 4.0 Ounce ## Images ![The Tao of Tea, 500 Mile Chai, 4 Ounce Tin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KABSLvz1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Though I am whining about the packaging.
