Answer: CHAI TEA

Explanation: There are several triplets of letters in the grid, relatively symmetrically placed; these are of the letters C, H, A, and I (the only instance of any consecutive letters in the grid). They are all in the shape of the letter "T," making CHAI TEA our final 2-word answer.

Now, what's this about a redundancy? Well, "chai" actually derives from a word that literally means tea, so "chai tea" is basically just "tea tea." Of course, phrases like "masala chai" and "chai latte" are non-redundancies. Feel free to let me know about other redundancies, such as "ATM machine" or "Sahara Desert" (whose first name also translates to "desert"!) in the comments!
Meg 3s · 2024-10-19T17:51:26.215Z
Almost as bad as the La Brea tar pits!
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-19T20:53:17.854Z
  Look what I'm learning - didn't know that, actually!
- woozy 🤓8:26 · 2024-10-19T21:39:59.755Z
  And the Sierra Nevada mountains, the ATM machine, PIN number, etc. etc.
frostyjhammer 🤓5:38 · 2024-10-19T17:53:19.652Z
My favorite is "PIN Number" =`:^>
KayW 🤓6:15 · 2024-10-19T17:56:27.040Z
I enjoy this redundant beverage almost as much as I enjoy your puzzles. Thanks Mikey! Let me SPELL OUT IN DETAIL my PIN NUMBER for the ATM MACHINE so we can buy RICE PILAF, NAAN BREAD. SHRIMP SCAMPI and AHI TUNA.
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-19T23:21:05.188Z
  Now I'm hungry, doubly so!!
boharr 2s · 2024-10-19T18:18:12.095Z
Thanks, Mikey.
Tom Wilson 🤓1:02 · 2024-10-19T18:49:58.368Z
Yes, PIN number is a doozy! (Along with "OPEC countries" and that nuptial invitation to "Please RSVP.")
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-19T23:20:55.516Z
  Oooh, fun ones!
Bbaack 13:46 · 2024-10-19T18:50:21.269Z
Nice! Another one is Rio Grande river...
MatthewL 🤓6:19 · 2024-10-19T19:35:48.817Z
Fun. Thanks for taking it easy on us this week, Mikey!
Carolyn 3s · 2024-10-19T20:08:09.115Z
Very nice!
woozy 🤓8:26 · 2024-10-19T21:38:21.603Z
Whew. I almost didn't get this.

You knew, there are two types of people: Those who can infer from incomplete data.

I guess I'm the type who would say, "hey, I don't see myself in that description"
ELSavage 🤓7:04 · 2024-10-19T21:52:59.655Z
That was fun. Apparently no one yet has been seen driving their Sport SUV. Also, if you haven't added the word 'pleonasm' to your vocabulary, check it out.
hoover 2s · 2024-10-19T22:18:22.368Z
Thanks for the mewling kitten after last week's ferocious hellcat. I haven't even finished the grid yet, but because of the way I solve, I had already done 8D when I got to 32A, whose clue pretty much gives away the show.
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-19T23:21:58.698Z
  The cat was much tamer this week!
whimsy 9:42 · 2024-10-19T23:48:33.576Z
Well, some of us like our redundancy hardcore, like me and Roseanne Roseannadanna. Thanks, Mikey!
Abide 🤓7:03 · 2024-10-20T01:12:15.598Z
Filing a protest that CHAI TEAS was deemed incorrect.
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-20T04:57:07.862Z
  Our judges have ruled that that is acceptable and you should be able to put that in now. And that's no TEAS! (Actually, it's several.)
Darth 🤓10:05 · 2024-10-19T20:46:12.953Z
Redundancy and repetition sometimes bothers and annoys me... but not often! :P Great and wonderful puz, Mikey!
Deb W 🤓5:55 · 2024-10-20T17:39:08.226Z
OMG I got one without a nudge. I know it's a "one" but it makes me happy.
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-21T22:18:59.500Z
  There you go! Always gives me a thrill, no matter the level!
DrTom 🤓12:40 · 2024-10-21T02:48:19.297Z
I guess it was a SUDDEN INSPIRATION that got me to the answer.....
DrTom 🤓12:40 · 2024-10-21T02:44:02.925Z
I had CHAI from the start but it never occured to me that CHAI actually means "Tea" - DUH!
Gutman 2s · 2024-10-21T19:57:49.842Z
Fun
kurtalert 🤓6:20 · 2024-10-22T04:37:57.054Z
Neat one :-) I made a big batch of chai concentrate a few weeks ago. Was better cold than hot. Need to find a better hot recipe!
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-31T18:58:06.742Z
  I'm all about iced beverages!
syoustra 🤓6:49 · 2024-10-23T02:45:48.293Z
Brilliant .... and hilarious!
Bird Lives 7s · 2024-10-25T02:56:20.228Z
As the barista said handing me a stray, If at first you don't suck tea, chai chai again.
Meta World Peace 5s · 2024-10-26T12:25:56.067Z
Wonder if this goes well with mahi-mahi (my working guess during my roughly clockwise solving path through the grid starting at noon--the C came last!)?
Qmark 3s · 2024-10-31T13:55:54.268Z
Late to the puzzle due to vacay time....thanks Mikey!
- Mikey G costruttore · 2024-10-31T18:58:24.088Z
  Still just as fun - we've kept the chai warm for you! Or cold, whatever you like!
