REVIEW
Brewed
- A dark liquor with a brown hue. Don’t let the dark color fool you into thinking this tea is too strong. The right blend of teas and spices makes this tea dark but mellow.
Scent
- A chai always reminds me of a holiday morning. Its brisk yet adds just the right amount of sweetness to remind you of the baked goodness awaiting you. Brewing a cup of chai tea will wake up your senses, adding spice to it makes that wake up even sweeter.
Flavor
- This chai has a bit of spice to it. First you will taste the wonder of cinnamon and then as the tea begins to settle the tea will surprise you with a spicy twist. It will warm your mouth and open up your sinuses. It’s will open your eyes and wait you up, gently not suddenly.
Sentiments
- This is a stronger tea with a bite to it. Spicy Chai is my first thought. The ginger in this tea really adds a bit of spice to it and really warms it up. Once the tea settles you can taste a bit of the cinnamon following the spicier tea. The liquor to this tea is a darker brown. This is a stronger tea and a wake up tea, which fits right into my schedule. I love that the tea is a good mix of all ingredients, such a nice blend.
