Chai tea

I never was a Starbucks fan. Nothing against Starbucks, I just didn’t like coffee and assumed there was, therefore, no reason for me to ever step foot inside one. Oh, how I was wrong. First, a friend introduced me to the Chai Tea Latte. Pretty good. Not quite chocolate milk (my fave!) but it made me feel a little more sophisticated drinking a hot drink at Starbucks. (That should clue you in a little as to my level of sophistication…) Anyway, I then discovered the VANILLA Chai Tea Latte. Now this is praiseworthy. Seriously, I look forward to my weekly trip to Starbucks on Sunday mornings before church. Yes, I only allow myself to have one per week. The ‘tall’ which is Starbucks talk for ‘small’ is $3.41. I’m not doing that every day. Oy vey.

Anyway, I have discovered something else that just might allow me to enjoy my hot drink more than once a week. I found the Vanilla Chai Tea Latte Mix by Oregon Chai.

So I was looking at the package today and I found this:

Mispronunciation of Oregon Chai
may result in derisive snickering.
Oregon \or-y-gun
Chai \eye with a ch in front
At least they are upfront about the fact that they make fun of people.
