I love this chai. It is very heavy on the cardamom, but on the score of Chais that I have tried over time that are decaf, this has the rare distinction of not being “default chai flavor.” I am quite sad that I can’t get more, and that when my current tin runs out, that will be the last of it.
THIS is my FAVORITE tea of all time! Just shared with my boys + had to go try and order more…. i thought TeaLuxe was moving to online… I guess not… ordered a bunch of organic to see if I can find one that matches…. what a GREAT gift from my mom so many years ago in my stocking… loved the circular tins they use to sell them in too!
Flavors: Vanilla
Very happy with this as a daily tea! Strong smoky smell and flavor (duh). A strong secondary flavor of blueberry. Smooth, but with a slightly chalky texture (I’ll put up with it). Moderately dry finish.
Stands up to multiple steeps, too.
Flavors: Blueberry, Smoke, Wood
Preparation
This tea is sweet and floral, very much living up to its name: vanilla and jasmine. I tried this tea back to back with Tealuxe’s Buckingham Garden Party blend, which is earl grey and jasmine; ultimately, I prefer the earl grey blend since there is more complexity in flavor. This tea is simple, and a bit one-note. However, it is tasty and smooth and everything you expect from its description.
Flavors: Cream, Floral, Jasmine, Vanilla
I bought this tea for the jasmine and I must say I love it in combination with the citrus cream of the Earl Grey. It is traditional, with a bit of a spring-time, lady-like twist. I drink my teas black, but I will have to make an exception and drink this one with a bit of milk, or as an iced late to bring out the creaminess.
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Cream, Floral, Jasmine
I have continued to purchase this tea for over 5 years. It’s one of the best lapsang souchongs I have ever tasted. I’ve shared it with everyone from family and friends to office mates. It has a deep smoky, bacon aroma and a dark red liquor. The taste is a compliment to its aroma and has a slightly astringent mouth feel. Highly recommended.
Flavors: Smoked
Preparation
I ordered a fig formosa tea with brunch at the inimitable Sonsie in Downtown Boston. They are now out of stock, and since Tealuxe, a fellow local business, is also out of stock of this rare tea, I imagine that they are where Sonsie found it. I instantly wanted to order some myself, it is uniquely delicious! Rich and lightly caffeinated, it would make a lovely afternoon tea.
Flavors: Fig
Very little taste. It makes the water green and using a tea ball in my mug (at work) and hot water of indeterminate temperature from the spring water dispenser, I was expecting more than just bitterness and a little mouth feel. Perhaps it would be better in a pot with more experimentation.
