I’ve been on a search for the perfect chai since I don’t care much for most flavored teas and chai with 1 part heated milk to 2 parts tea and plenty of sugar is pretty much dessert tea for me. This sample is about as good as any chai blend I’ve had. And it’s much better than any I’ve had recently. All the spices I expect come through. None of them overpower the flavor, though I worried the ginger might because it certainly overpowers the scent of the dry leaves. And I can still taste the black tea leaves, which are tightly coiled and look exactly like black tea used for chai should look. And there are no artificial or natural flavorings to give me headaches , so yay.

Very good balance of spices and tea overall. I think I’d like it better with a bit of black pepper, but I can easily add that myself.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger

Preparation
5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I drink black and oolong teas — and am trying to learn a little about puerh these days. I’m in it for the taste, not the appropriated Eastern mysticism. Not so good at keeping my cupboard up to date, let alone making a tea spreadsheet. I don’t really do sipdown reviews because then I’d be judging the tea based on the dust at the bottom of the bag. I think it’s nifty that there are tens of thousands of options involving just this one plant leaf.
