From Hugo Tea Company

Here’s an exquisite chai for you. Vanilla Chai™ starts with our unique 100 Year Black Tea, with its smooth, chocolaty flavor. This tea base is a perfect counterpoint to the spicy-sweet flavors of organic South Asian cinnamon, ginger, and Malabar black pepper. Finally the flavors are bonded together with creamy, soft vanilla. It took us six years to develop this one, we hope you’ll find it was worth the wait.

Chai Tourney continued… Battle of the Vanilla Chais (The tea girl v

Realized that it is actually pretty difficult for me to not switch up the tea I am drinking during the week so my chai tourney went wayside pretty quickly a few weeks ago. But I am finally back! Reminder this match was between The tea girl’s Vanilla Chai and Hugo’s Vanilla Chai.

Preparation: Western, Oatmilk and Honey
Tasting note: Wow. This tea is on another level from the vanilla chai from the tea girl. All the flavors mingle very well and it has this Vanilla smokiness that reminds me of a fancy perfume or cocktail both in taste and aroma. It has a little star anise to sweet it slightly but not overpower, the ginger, pepper and cinnamon again mingle very well to create a very nice balance of spice. The tea is still really good with oatmilk and honey but I think could be served straight as well and not be too much.

I think we have a winner for the first round of vanilla chais: The Hugo Tea Co’s Vanilla Chai. This tea was much stronger than the tea girl and the flavor was distinct, not-overpowering and delicious.

PS. Hopefully I can pick up more of this before they discontinue it, to replace with a masala chai. :o

Backlogged from yesterday.
This didn’t have nearly as much flavor as I was expecting. I actually found it a little bland.
It could just have been me, the next cup may be good, but yesterday it hardly processed.

This was really tasty. This is one of the first vanilla chais I’ve tried that actually does taste like vanilla. The ginger is there but not hot, the cinnamon is definitely there. It’s a sweetish cup without sugar but with some sugar the vanilla and spices really pop. I made this with 50% water and 50% half and half and about 2 teaspoons of sugar. I steeped it for about 8 minutes. Thanks for the chance to try this, Daylon R Thomas! I may have to see about picking some up.

Thank heavens I have a pound of this. It is not the fancieist tea I have, and though it may be the simplist, it is the most worth while for the quality. I never get tired of it personally.

Evol Ving Ness

A pound! Go you!

Daylon R Thomas

Now, I wait for the copious amounts of green oolong I’m going to sample through day by day…

Daylon R Thomas

Otherwise, this is my personal top black for price and taste.

Nicole

Dang. This morning I just had the rest of what you shared with me. I def need to get some. So good.

Daylon R Thomas

I’m glad you like it. I actually got the pound two weeks ago just before I ran out of mine.
