I agree it’s great. I don’t exactly see why it can’t be made in the West like that. I just don’t know if anyone’s really tried (would love to understand if someone has)
There are lots of instant chai available and you can order chai in some places, but mostly it's heavy on the cinnamon and tastes watered down.
I had a similar thing with vietnamese coffee. It's a different type of roast and the beans are a bit fatty. You drink it cold with condensed milk. I can't get these beans here, as they are import restricted, due to them being to wet. Which is an older storage law, to avoid spoiling, you can't get around easily.
Maybe it is something like that, that is keeping us from getting the good stuff here.
