I loved the Mayan chocolate chai from 52teas, so I was excited to try this tea with a similar flavor profile. Compared with my memory of that one, this one is a little muted. I taste the chai inspiration, and I also taste a little chocolate, but it’s certainly more in a tea way than in a hot chocolate way. The spiciness definitely comes out more like a hot pepper than usual chai spices, which is fun. I just wish the flavoring were stronger, and as always, it could use more cocoa shells! I want more of everything from this tea.
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.
I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!
My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
