Latte Sipdown (284)
The last latte I had with this tea wasn’t good. When I had it, I had issues with all the milk I steeped so I think part of my not enjoying it was because of that.
This latte is much better. Sil would be a fan because the cardamom is the real star here. Creamy but with a whole lot of cardamom and warming spices. Also the whipped cream and chai sprinkles help make it that much better.
These teakruthi teas have been impressing me with their subtley. I saw that the main ingredient other than black tea was cardamom, and I worried because I’ve had too many chais that are too cardamom-heavy. The flavor here is totally balanced between the cardamom and the black tea. I didn’t use milk because I was afraid that would overwhelm the flavors. This is an enjoyable, light chai.
Thanks so much for the samples, Teakruthi! This chai is intriguing, as it focuses mostly on cardamom. I’ve never seen a chai blend with only cardamom and really, there aren’t many teas with cardamom at all. There are plenty of cardamom pods here, cut in half, with the lovely Ceylon black tea base. The Ceylon is medium bodied and lets the flavor of the cardamom be prominent while itself being sweet and smooth. The fragrance and flavor of cardamom is definitely present and strong. The second steep, just as much cardamom to the flavor. It’s very calming, sweet, creamy, mellow. It’s a nice change for the taste buds once in a while, instead of the “all the spices” sort of chai all the time.
