Big Train Chai

The food thread reminded me to post this, and since most people on here know something about local establishments, I'm assuming someone can answer this: Which coffee shops in town have Big Train Chai? Borders did carry it (or a very similar variant at least), but they eliminated it after switching to Seattle's Best. Which is good coffee, but is lacking in the old school Chai. I had at least 1 or 2 or 3 of those things a week for about 8 years, and then it's out of my life. I need my Big Train Chai, and the only place I've found it at is Courthouse Coffee in Warsaw. Ground Level had it, but they closed down.

Where the hell is it? And am I the only person here that thinks it is the greatest hot beverage ever given to man?

I'll be damned, when did they get that? That's awesome!

I knew I could order it, but I totally dig going to a coffee shop, grabbing a chai, reading a book, and chilling.

Don't know how long, but I called and verified they indeed have it. No less an authority than my fiance told me so.

I find it very funny that I stumbled across this topic as I was cursing to myself about the Seattle's Best Chai Latte that I just purchased from Borders.

It is no comparison to the Big Train! None at all! I want my $3.35 back.

Actually...I don't know how much the secret is out, but if you ask for the "special Chai" at Borders now, they'll whip you up a pretty decent Chai. Better than the normal one they have anyways. It's a little spicy, but it has a really good flavor to it.

Additionally, I do love Seattle's Best Coffee. It's the smoothest coffee in town that I've had.
