Amit- Vancouver, BC –
Being a chai lover, from an Indian family, I’m pretty specific and critical about chai’s made outside my home. I recently starting trying Trudy Anne’s products, and they are all pretty amazing. Her chai, however, is special. Not only is it organic, but also made from ingredients grown locally. That is rare, and something I value. You can taste the quality in her chai, and I look forward to starting my morning with it everyday. I would give it 6 stars if i could!
