Oregon Chai Original Tea Latte Concentrate Review and Giveaway! CLOSED

We will be celebrating some winners later, but it's time to talk about some "Me Time" with Oregon Chai Original Tea Latte Concentrate. If you know anything about me, you know that I am constantly sipping on a cup of coffee...yes, you read that right. I'm not a tea person, for the most part, but coffee, I love!

But, when the opportunity came to try out Oregon Chai's Tea Latte Concentrate, I jumped on it. (There's nothing wrong with trying something new!)

Taste

From a normally non-tea or chai drinker, the taste is a little spicy and a little sweet. It's quite different than I thought it would taste, in a good way. It's definitely not coffee - it's tea, so you can expect the lighter side, but it has a nice spicy taste to wake your senses up in the morning. Get you sparked right up. It's mellow enough, though, to drink any time of the day: morning, noon, or late in the evening...whenever it's time for that "Me Time", as Oregon Chai calls it (Whatever that is! I haven't seen "Me Time" since before the kids!).

Research

Okay, so I went onto their website to do my little research...and would you believe there is a recipe for a Chocolate Chai Cake? Oh, yes, we made the cake and...oh, my! It's a must-try for you chocolate lovers! It doesn't stop there...they actually have a recipe section on their site with many more yummy yum yum recipes! I can't wait to try more of them!

I think the best part - because I am a coffee drinker - is that Oregon Chai's Tea Latte provides about as much caffeine as a "lightly brewed cup of black tea" (according to their site), so if you drink a few cups, you can get your little caffeine buzz on in the morning - or evening, if that's what you prefer. (Sue me, I have 6 kids to keep up with!)

In addition, you're going to save yourself a ton of money making it at home, as opposed to stopping at the local stores and buying your $4 daily cup of chai. (you can purchase the whole concentrated container above for a little over $5!)

Oh! Did I mention it's vegan, too?
