[MENTION=13393493]big bopper[/MENTION] [MENTION=13448813]SHAMZ84[/MENTION] do either of you make your blend from scratch? I've used a pre-mixed powder before which works well but I've never been able to replicate the chai I drank in India. I suppose it takes years of practice to be a succesful chai-wallah [emoji58]

It's the way you make it..but there are a few additions that complete the whole process
We had ginger peal for extra spice when boiling..also to have a fresher taste we had mint or lemon grass when it's boiling.
I user the following steps
For 2 cups of tea
Boil 1 and 2 thirds of a mug of water
Add tea leafs or tea bag
Add Ginger peal and (mint/lemongrass if desired)
Add half a teaspoon of the chai powder
Let this boil untill is almost spils over
Add milk and sugar
Leave to boil for a further few minute's
Tea done.

There are some plantations in Cornwall I think or somewhere in the south along the coast. The quality is so so though. But it's entirely possible to grow it in the UK. We tried rolling our own Sencha by hand when in Japan. It's terribly difficult, but real fun. So I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
My own stab at growing a tea plant in the UK failled misserably, but that was when I first started gardening and I had no clue what I was doing. Tea plants are basically Camelias which are grown all around the UK with great success.
