Cinoi drank Aztec Sweet Chili by Yogi Tea

Yogi tea LOVES LOVES LOVES their ginger. All I smell in the unsteeped tea bag is ginger. After brewed (5 minutes, hot water, no sugar) all I still smell is ginger. The taste is, you guessed it, predominantly ginger, but there is also a spicy burn, brought on mostly by cayenne and cardamom. With each sip, you smell the ginger, then taste ginger with sweetness, finally before it is gone, you are left with burning brought on by cayenne pepper.

I like it, it’s definitely different, spicy and strange, but I like it. Would definitely be better if it was blended with either a black tea, or a creamy flavored (like vanilla or coconut) tea.

Profile

Bio

I am a sarcastic perfectionist, a computer nerd, a game geek, an avid reader, a gadget guru, a wine (and tea) enthusiast, and (in my spare time) a chemist.

As I mentioned, I am a chemist, research and development to be exact, so when evaluating tea, it is much like evaluating my products: I will find the flaws and do my very best to fix them because it is what I love to do. Along those lines, nothing is perfect, but can have perfect qualities, I will highlight those also.

I made a preliminary guide to my rating scale:
0-19 – Did not like anything about the tea, feel it cannot be saved without being reformulated.
20-40 – Did not like the tea, it can be saved with extreme amounts of tweaking (i.e., sugar, milk, honey and or blending with another tea)
41-60 – Neutral about the tea, it can be helped or hurt by additives or blends, varied temperatures and steep times
61-70 – Decent tea, needs a little bit of help to get it in the place I like it, but definitely not out of reach
71-80 – Quality tea, liked it, will try again
81-90 – Really enjoyed the tea, high quality, will continue to drink the tea, not looking for something better
91-100 – Loved the tea, will continue to brew and drink and spread the word about the tea to everyone
