Vanilla Bean Chai from Tetley
34

I don’t drink bagged tea anymore… and for a reason. The quality isn’t there, the flavour isn’t there, and I always end up disappointed. I’ll drink it when I’m out and about or if I’m at work, where I don’t want to leave any of my good loose-leaf, but that’s about it.

But, that being said, this tea isn’t terrible. The vanilla flavour is the main flavour. I add milk and sugar and it makes it like a sweet, creamy tea. The only thing is, the chai flavour is almost not even there. I can pick up the smallest amount of it, but it’s really not much worth even mentioning. I wish that it was stronger. I love chai.

As I’m getting closer to the end of the cup, I’m just so disappointed with this one. It really leaves me wanting to go home and make a proper cup of chai tea.

It’s definitely not one that I would own. Maybe I’m just getting too fussy… or… do I dare say it…? Maybe I’m turning into a… tea snob…? Say it ain’t so! But I think it is! I won’t say snob… maybe just a tea connoisseur of sorts? Or maybe I just like the quality loose-leaf has to offer :)

Bio

My love of tea didn’t start until a few years after highschool, when a friend of mine made me an Orange Pekoe tea with milk and sugar. It was like drinking sweet nectar from heaven. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked.

I’ve remained loyal to my orange pekoe, but I have branched out to embrace different flavours and kinds of tea. Now, I drink loose leaf teas. The difference in taste and quality is amazing! I know I’ll never go back.

I would have to say, my favourite kinds are (in no particular order): black, herbal and rooibos (both red and green, but I usually enjoy green just a little bit more).

White and green teas are never usually the ones that I go for, but I must admit they are finally growing on me! I’m starting to really appreciate them.

Now I’m on a quest to drink as much tea as I can and enjoy every minute of it.

I don’t really have any specific rating system, but I’m working on it.
