March Mad(Hatter) Tea Tournament!
Round #1 – Match #3 52Teas- Spiced Cucumber Melon VS. Octavia Tea – Salted Caramel Chai
Will all these matches be so tough??? Two favorites! One a summer favorite, one an autumn/winter favorite. Bet you can’t guess which. Even when fresh, the chai was never really “salted caramel” so even though this is a REALLY great chai, it’s not really accomplishing what it claims. I love the finely chopped ingredients, the biggest being large coconut flakes. Somehow I can’t really taste coconut anyway. The second steep seems brisk and harsh and certainly not anything like caramel. The Cucumber Melon however, is EXACTLY what it says it is. It’s a perfect blend, really. Very refreshing and crisp. I wish this was a salad I was eating right now. And it’s definitely a favorite from 52teas. It’s one I actually tried from a mystery bag and then went back to order more to stock up. I’m picking the opposite seasons tea here and the winner is…. 52Teas Spiced Cucumber Melon!
