From Friday Afternoon

If there’s anything better than a rich earthy chai, it’s a BITEY rich earthy chai. This blend is a bolder take on a classic masala chai, with electric notes of cardamom, warming cinnamon and a zippy ginger-pepper combo. Tearista Greg developed this one, and his choice of Satemwa Dark (a cave-aged tea from Malawi) as a base makes for a rare chai that can brew forever without going overly tannic. Sink into it!

Ingredients: Dark tea (aged black tea), ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, black peppercorn

Approximately 80mg of caffeine per cup

Steep at 210° F or 98.9°C for 3-5 minutes.

This particular masala chai doesn’t do anything in particular for me. There’s nothing wrong with it? But it’s a fairly standard masala chai. It’s a little more mellow, a little more malty than the ones I usually drink – I suspect that’s because the tea itself is aged. The peppercorns aren’t particularly strong (nothing like Prepare For Trouble) and I can’t taste the cardamon at all.

Nothing wrong with it, but not one I need to keep around. It came as part of a sampler from bigger order we got from Friday, so when I finish off the last of my advent teas, I’ll be on to those, but it’s dark and gloomy here this afternoon, so I figured a dark chai might be the way to go.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Malt
