RE: "Special Chai" from Dunkin' Donuts - Diary of a Refugee from Ukraine

A few years ago, I ordered a chai not realising it was tea. I'm a coffee drinker so it was a shock when I tried it. I couldn't finish it. My dad used to call bad tea "weasel piss". I'm afraid my chai was. That's what you get for trying something new. 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed yours though.

Sort:  

I used to drink tea when I was in Bangladesh because Bangladeshi people prefer tea to coffee because it's a hot country. When I moved to Ukraine, I became addicted to coffee, and then coffee addiction started. I can drink tea but very specific, I am not a fan of tea. But I like Masala Chai but it has to be made perfectly :D.

I can imagine your experience, tea has to be perfect otherwise it's just bitter water...

When I was young, tea was cheaper. It wasn’t until my cousin came to live with us and she paid board that my mum started to buy coffee. My cousin drank coffee and my mum thought because she was paying her way, she must get coffee in for her. That is where my addiction for coffee began. I will always be grateful!

What a lovely story... By the way what kind of coffee do you like? I mean expresso, americano, or just normal coffee...

I like a black americano. I had a phase of telling the barista I'd like a black americano and they'd always ask me if I wanted a jug of milk with it. I kept thinking why would I ask for it black if I wanted milk? It used to drive me nuts.

I don’t mind most coffees really, but I tend to have coconut or almond milk in the others. As long as it's called coffee I'm not too fussed. 🙂

Many people like black Americano and I heard it's good though I am a cappuccino and latte person. I like milk. I also like a very unique coffee from Starbucks and that is hazelnut macchiato with less sugar. Coffee can be fancy though :D and I like fancy coffee sometimes :D...

I like macchiato as well. I've only had a few but enjoyed it. I feel as though I can taste the coffee more if there's no milk.
