If you like some citrus flavors in your tea, and you use loose tea in a tea ball; try putting a little zest (thin strips of peel wih NO pith) in your tea ball with the loose tea. The zest (strips of peel) will give that citrus flavor. Start out with a very small amount and increase according to your taste.
I zest lemons and oranges then freeze in a freezer bag. I can use it in my tea or in recipes calling for zest or peel.
I live near International Market tha has a wonderful selection of teas. Oe recomended to me was Ceylon tea brand name Alghazaleen. I really like it! comes in a 1 lb. brick so it needs to be kept in an airtight tea jar. He said not to store it in Tupperware as it will asorbe the plastic taste.

I purchased a book about teas a few years ago, and chai tea is supposed to be taken with milk or cream. It's ok by itself, but it is better with milk, cream or coffeemate. It gives it a richer and smoother taste.
