Winnipeg Chai Tea Latte Tour

| TeaKisses
What do four girls do in Winnipeg on a reading week morning? Go on a Chai tea latte tour of the city! We picked four independent coffee shops and drove around the city tasting tea. We definitely did not try all the places we would have liked to, but this is a start. Here are our ratings and some pictures. Enjoy!
This was the first place we visited and the lovely manager split the latte into four small glasses for us. What a lovely surprise!

We found out that this particular shop does not have any chai tea, so we had a latte made out of their black tea. This is why we couldn’t rate on spice.  

This was by far the best Chai tea latte. You must try this out, Dustin was right when he said we were in for a treat!

We tried Thom Bargen’s rumoured Matcha latte and it was incredible! The only downside we found was that it was a little grainy. Kind of disappointed on that point but it tasted delicious!

I was never really a coffee person before I came to university but already today I have had two cups. What happened to me?!?

My dad always drank coffee at home and for the longest time I wanted to be able to drink it too but I was one of the sad recipients of the “Drinking coffee too young will stunt your growth” myth. I always wanted to be tall so I was so afraid that if I drank coffee I would end up very, very short. Much to my joy, I am tall…almost too tall in my opinion. But back to my point, I NEVER had coffee. Then when my parents decided (or got too tired of me begging) I could finally have a taste of this heavenly drink that everyone seemed enamored with *drum roll* I didn’t like it. I was horrified, I just assumed that my taste buds were off and pretended to like it just so I could prove that I hadn’t waited for nothing. So I went through a “I will drink it anyway to prove I’m not a wimp” phase. Eventually though, I just couldn’t handle it anymore…I really didn’t like the stuff. So then I resorted to tea, I LOVE tea. I drink all kinds of tea, but my favorite teas are very much not caffeinated. I was okay with that for a while; back when I actually got sleep. But now being in university I need something to wake me up for my 8:30 class in the morning, especially after staying up till 2:30 the last night attempting to work on a paper. So I tried out the coffee thing again. It’s amazing, it wakes me up and keeps me going…for the most part. Even though the coffee in our cafeteria is not exactly the best out there (it’s actually pretty disgusting). I put up with it because it does wonderful things to my mental processes…it actually gives me some.

I ❤ Coffee.
