| - Tea Infusion's located next to Mojo Yogurt in Tempe Marketplace. It's no surprise to learn that the menu is predominantly tea. There are many varieties to choose from: black, oolong, green, flavored teas, and chai (to name a few).
I strolled in one Saturday night to satiate my craving for a chai tea latte. My hopes were shot down when I was told they ran out of the mix for chai. How does a tea place run out of chai?! I took a menu to a table and debated which alternate would be a close match.
I decided to ask another employee if they could make the chai tea without milk. Yes, it was possible. No chai, my ass. The tea was pretty good, but it was incredibly hot. I'm no tea connoisseur , but I thought that tea should be steeped in water that isn't scalding so that the full flavor of the leaves could steep. Maybe that was why it wasn't as flavorful as I'd expected.
If you're in the mood for a bite, there are also a few sandwiches and salads. I have yet to taste them. There weren't many places to sit so I decided to grab a chair outside by the fireplace. If you're in the mood, I recommend strolling around Barnes and Noble with your tea. Then again, there's a Starbucks within that store that never runs out of chai mix.
