2 tea bags for 14 oz hot, not boiling, water. Steeped for 10 minutes this time for richer flavor. Did not add milk this time, though it would probably be good with a splash. Smooth, vanilla-y chai.

Used two 2.5 g tea bags per 14 oz water. Said to steep from 5-10 minutes, so I opted for 7. No sweetener necessary as the blend includes stevia leaf and licorice, both of which add sweetness. I added too much milk to mine, at least for my taste. Decent chai taste, though not spicy enough for me.

Directions say to use one roughly 2.8 g sachet per 8 oz water. I used two sachets and 14 oz. The recommended steep time is from 3-5 minutes, so I went for 4. Decent Assam. Not too bitter, I like a bit of honey in mine.

Flavors: Earth, Tannic

A lightly sweet, fruity rooibos tea. I can detect hibiscus, as well as notes of blueberry and, perhaps, honeysuckle. Very tasty. Used the shorter recommended steep time; would probably extend for a bolder flavor next go round.
