What's Ocado? I have no Waitrose anywhere near me, though  :-[

I tried www.venalicia.co.uk, but the chai massai is "no longer available"  :(

I think it's pretty good. Worth a try and if you really like it, then you can make your own if you are so inclined!

I had a Starbucks chai today!
It was very weak (i like my tea strong!), but i can see how, if it was stronger, it would be FAB!!!
Thanks for the idea, guys... what a great discovery!  :)
 im going to shop for chai tea bags now, or failing that, make my own!

Otterpop.... to be perfectly honest the best Chai is homemade.. that way you control what you put in it.  I have Twinnings Chai and it's good, but I still make it fresh a lot.  You can make up little spice boquet garni type bags ahead of time if you are so inclined with dry ginger pieces, caradamom, cinnamon and cloves.  Boil with half milk and half water and good strong black tea.  I even use PG tips.  Sugar to taste. 

That or just pop in a ton of chai bags. ;D

I bought some sort of organic-wotsit chai teabags and they were very weak as well... i ended up using 2 or 3 bags per cup of tea!  :-\\\\
On the Everything Cinnamon website, they had Lipton Chai teabags, and i thought 'that'll be good and strong... good ol' Lipton!'... but they are weak as well... still using 2 teabags per cup, and letting it stew for at least double the recommended time.

Never had this problem with normal tea... only the chai.
But once you get it to the right strength, it is really lovely... i've had 3 cups of it today so far!  :)

Sort of busy at work, so didn't have time to see if they ship internationally:

They used to do packets of tea/spice mix - so it's sort of make your own, but not really.  ;)

I tried to find out if they do ship overseas, but their shopping link says it's temporarily disabled!
