Ugly Mug Chai Mix

by Marye on June 12th, 2008

ugly mug chai  mix

I am not a big fan of chai mix.  Like the instant coffee mixes they seem unnaturally sweet to me and even a little cloying.

When the fantastic people at Ugly Mug sent me coffee to review, they also sent a package of their chai. The kids were ecstatic, they love the stuff.  I was less so.

So I put it off, trying it I mean, even though everyone around me was fighting for it and swooning over their cups. 

Yesterday I realized that there was only a little left and if I was going to try it then I had better do so.  Pronto.

YUM!  It is sweet, but as far as chai mix goes it is the best I have tried other than my own homemade mix that I give as gifts.

It is not overly spicy, and the flavors are well balanced.  The chai is creamy-rich and does well as either a cold frappe or a hot latte.  Bonus! You can use the mix to sprinkle on cookies and ice cream for a unique flavor.  Thought of that all by myself. :)

Check them out at Ugly Mug.  Get one of the mugs.  I LOVE my mug.

    This is good stuff…You could serve it at your next dinner club.
    Have I mentioned TODAY that your dinner club posts make me jealous every time?

    Marye,
    I went to the Ugly Mug website, clicked on Chai
    & got a page that said there were no listings under that category :-(

    Marye, You take such great photos. I’ve tried that chai mix, but it was years ago. I can’t remember if I liked it. I need to look for it again.
