I love getting a cup in the afternoon after lunch. I love making coffee for my wife, and I love when she offers to make me a cup when she makes herself a cup. I love coffee even though since I started lifting weights and eating well, I don't really need it. Every c…

You may like this: https://www.satnam.eu/classic-chai-yogi-tea-organic-1-kg-bul... But probably better to find a smaller package to find out first ;)

Looks good thanks! I drink this right now, which is good but usually requires a couple of bags to get a strong enough brew - https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1581702390140103849

I figured you were drinking something like that. The other one has a bit more of a kick to it while still being just spices and herbs and does not contain 'rooibos' which I'm really not a fan of.
