Spicy Black Chai from Mount of Olives Treasures Tea

Jaime drank Spicy Black Chai by Mount of Olives Treasures Tea

I’ve had this one lingering in the back of my work stash for a while. Finally decided to brew it up, since I’m no longer afraid of chais and in fact, find them quite delightful.

This, however, is not so delightful.

It smells like cinnamon and some other spices. It tastes…old. Not old-tea old or stale-old. No, this tastes old like a really elderly person’s house just smells “old”. Or how old books smell “old”. The tea itself tastes fine, but the flavors…old.

Aww…that’s just sad. Have you tried Adagio’s Masala Chai? I have a bunch and could send some your way…

I don’t think so. I think I have a sample of the Thai Chai at home, and the spiced apple chai, but not the Masala.

I’ve had somebody’s Masala Chai, though. Can’t remember whose at the moment, though.

Profile

Bio

My love of tea started in 2001, whilst in an internship in London, England. I shared an office with a lovely man who would make me a cup of tea every morning without asking me if I even wanted it. I drink my tea neat now, because I’ve yet to find the sugar/milk combination that lives up to Pablo’s.

I drink any and all kinds of tea, and love trying new brands/varieties/flavors.
