This is the second tea for me to try from the samples I received from Just Organic Tea.
This one has a wonderfully powerful fragrance, so much so that I was afraid that it may have tainted the rest of the teas in the shipping bag. I separated the teas that were heavily fragranced right away and think the others will be fine… at least the Naughty ‘Nilla hadn’t picked up anything.
This one caught my attention because of its fragrance, sweet, spicy, citrus orange. It seems for me that the orange comes out more in the smell of the tea than the flavor at first. Mostly a nicely spiced black tea, nothing overpowering, I think the orange is coming through as another sweet dimension to the tea base rather than a prominent flavor as the name suggests. As it cools, I do get more orange at the end of the sip. I do quite enjoy this one, but might prefer just a tiny touch more orange to go along with the name.. as is, I think I would have named it Spiced Orange because I get spice before the orange. Still a nice blend as the base is nice and not overpowered with spice, as I might expect from a chai.
The more I drink of this cup, the more I am enjoying it.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Orange Zest
