I snagged this chai mix from Hilo Hattie on one of my many stops around Hawaii on a cruise. Luckily, you can also buy this online off the Hula Girl store or on Amazon.

Overall, pretty good – nice fruity jam-like taste. Bit pastry like in flavor too. It’s not perfect though – the spice is on the mild side and not too complex (just cinnamon) and very little actual tea taste – two things I think are important qualities in a chai. This mix already has sugar and milk in it so it’s pretty rich and sweeter than if I made chai myself.
But, I quite like the fruity flavor – the mango pops out more when made as an iced tea latte.

While I like the fruit flavor which is quite unique to chai blends, I’d not get it for myself again. But – I can see others who drink chai concentrates would really love this! The mix would also be great for the office or travelling.

I’m a tea blogger – The Oolong Owl
www.OolongOwl.com – I do tea reviews, obsessively photograph teas with mischievous crocheted Owls and get tea drunk. I am also a crochet and knitting designer at Awkward Soul Designs.

I was raised on floral oolongs and green teas, mostly “beauty” teas. Early on as a kid, I can guzzle an entire pot of tea (or two) at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant.
These days I like adventurous and interesting tea blends. I’m fearless in trying new teas! I’m into oolong, pu’erh, white, green, black, guayusa, mate and herbals. I’m not into red rooibos but I keep buying it anyway.

The tea brand that got me started into loose leaf teas was DAVIDsTea. I used to live in Vancouver Canada and had access to their shop, however that is now limited since I moved to southern California.

However, the perks of living in the US is ultra cheap, fast shipping! Since then, my tea stash insanely expanded.

Other stuff I’m into that sneaks into my tea notes: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, metal music, drawing, painting, cooking, photography and nail polish.

BTW, my Steepster cupboard is not even close to accurate and I track my teas on a spreadsheet. Last update 573 Teas – August 2015.
