 Third Street Chai, located in Boulder, CO, microbrews organic chai, iced tea, yerba mate and lemonade concentrates. Third Street creates their delicious tea/lemonade concentrates in their eco-friendly facilities that are 100% wind-powered. Additionally Third Street composts 100% of their ingredients with the help of local farmers in Boulder County.  Third Street also uses high quality Organic and Fair Trade Certified ingredients to produce all of their products.

Third Street Chai was kind enough to send me a variety of samples of their products to review.

The samples included:

• Ginger Lemonade
• Authentic Chai
• Spicy Ginger Chai
• Pomegranate Green Tea
• Peach Black Tea

All of Third Street’s concentrates are lightly sweetened and are easy to prepare; all you need for the chai is some tasty almond milk (or your favorite milk) and for the iced teas and lemonade water! I quickly became obsessed with the ginger lemonade and it was the first to go (and far to quickly I must say).  I loved that it wasn’t too sweet like most lemonades and had a nice gingery bite.

As for the chai I have only tried them hot, since it is getting to be winter here, and I enjoyed both of the flavors.  Of the two chai’s the Authentic was my favorite and the Spicy Ginger the Hubz favorite.  I found the Spicy Ginger a little too peppery for me.  To make the chai latte I heated half chai and half almond milk in a pot on the stove and served.  I attempted to make a foam with a whisk but failed;  I really need an a frother to make some good foam.

Lastly the iced teas- these were my least favorite.  I am lover of iced tea but I like mine strong and unsweetened.  The fruit plus the added sweetener made these a little too overpowering for me.  My dad who tried the peach black tea agreed that it was good but a little too sweet.

Overall my husband and I were huge fans and Neil is now on a search for a 64oz super concentrate so he can have chai lattes all the time (within reason).

Have you tried Third St Chai? What is your favorite beverage?
