I was making up a batch of Masala Chai the other day, when inspiration struck.

Cardamom Tea
Once upon a time clan Teaist were visiting a shop that specialises in foodstuffs from the Middle East and North Africa.
Grandpa Style
If the gong-fu style of tea preparation, with its elaborate equipment, detailed methodology, and precise amounts and temperature control represents yin, then its yang can be thought of to be the “Grandpa style” method of steeping tea leaves.
