I don’t know if it is just me, but the more recent Chai teas released from Teavana all taste pretty much the same to me. I was excited when the new Chocolate Chai and Caramel Rooibos Chai came out last summer, as I am a huge Chai fan. But after tasting them, they tasted a lot like the Oprah Chai which was released about 4 months earlier. Nothing new here, it seemed. Then, about 9 months later, Teavana releases a new Herbal Oprah Chai that also tastes pretty much like the original, non-herbal Oprah Chai. Considering that Teavana rarely releases new teas as it is (compared to David’s Tea who is always releasing new teas), it is very strange that they keep releasing teas that taste so similar to what they already have on the shelf. I don’t really get it.

Blended w/Capital of Heaven Keemun (Teavana). I wanted a little more spice or flavor in my tea today, but not a full-on chai with lots of milk and sweetener (usually stevia for me), so I did ~1 tsp. Capital of Heaven Keemun with ~2 tsp. Chocolate Chai, per 16 oz. water, and a couple drops of stevia per pot, no milk. (I never know how to specify tea blends with the “how much” options on these notes.)

Previously, I think I’ve also blended this with another tea. I’m not sure I’ve had it by itself…

Another disappointment from Teavana. It has an absolutely lovely aroma, reminiscent of a Mexican hot chocolate but softer. Very little actual chocolate taste is present, though, and shows up more as a dry mouthfeel and a hint of sourness. The spice is dominant and rather bitter, with more of what I’m beginning to feel is a Teavana trademark “red hots” taste. It’s also oddly weakly flavored, in spite of using plenty of the tea. Truthfully, if it weren’t for the nice fragrance from it, I’d rate it lower. (Drank it with a small spoon of crystal sugar and a splash of milk, definitely both needed.)

Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon
