Still an amazing cup of tea! Wish they still had this in the store. :( Just a great, balanced black tea. I would (and do) drink this all day.

Clearly not my favorite Chai. Lacking in tea flavor, strong on Cinnamon, strange additional flavors. I was told in the store that it is a “traditional” Chai. I disagree.

Produced a strong black tea flavor. I might have slightly scorched the tea though. Overall a very pleasant tea (since I like mine on the strong side anyway).

It’s a good blend, when made considerably stronger than directed. I’m a fan of Masala Chai style teas but I like them “spicy.”

Boiling 4 min, 45 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Basically the Lord Bergamot minus the bergamot. Honestly, not a favorite of mine. The quality is there though. I can totally imagine this being a go-to-tea for others. I still love their sachets, they work wonderfully and are so convenient.

Another cup this morning. Really enjoy the bright citrus note from the bergamot. Put a little extra sugar in this time and, well, it was sweeter as one might expect. Just right for my mood this morning.

Like this tea quite a lot. Really my first taste of a bergamot but it was fantastic. I’m always a fan of Assam teas which is the base of this tea (with Ceylon). Just fantastic in my opinion. Impressive especially for a bagged tea (though they call them “sachets” which I suppose is accurate as they’ve got plenty of expansion room).

Flavors: Bergamot, Earth
