This week has been incredibly busy with work. You see, I have to give in my grades for next Friday, but I am so tired with just the regular teaching stuff that correcting my 197 writing productions (ranging from 200 to 500 words… I seriously need to make these kids work less) is just killing everything happy inside of me.
So when my colleague suggested that we meet in a tea shop to motivate each other (she is a French teacher, so she knows the struggle is real), I jumped on the occasion. When she mentioned a special place where they boiled fresh chai tea, I was very excited.
I was even happier when the very nice tea-barista (is there a word for a professional tea maker? please let me know!) told me that he could make it with almond milk.
The result: a light, spicy, foamy, perfectly comforting hot drink. Not that anything would make correcting 197 copies on a nice ans snowy Saturday afternoon better, but almost.
So if you are in Montreal, I really suggest you try the Teashop, on Jean-Talon street as it is very friendly, perfect to work and has a very relaxed atmosphere. Give it a try!

Sounds wonderful! I love Montreal!
Yes! I really like the fact that you can always find new places to try out 🙂 Do you have any recommendations?
I will ask around. We usually go in the summer. My sister has a nose for these things.
The coffee shop sounds ideal, and the tea looks amazing! I’ve never had a chai tea, (I know, where have I been??!) but I will definitely be trying one now. Thanks for the inspiration x
You MUST have chai tea! If you like spices, you’ll just love it! 🙂
Well, I do like spices but only a hint of spice, haha, I will HAVE to try it 🙂 What spice is chai tea made with?
Cinnamon, star anise, cardamon, black pepper and cloves 🙂 Very spicy!
I’m an earl grey type of girl, do I try chai? With milk? Without?
Sure! Why not try it out? You’ll know for sure 🙂 A chai latte is really amazingly comforting on a cold day, a perfect alternative for hot chocolate 🙂
