I have always enjoyed chai tea. This particular one has curled black tea leaves, cinnamon chips, dried ginger and open cardamom pods. It has that wonderful smell of mixed spices even before brewing. I take my chai with milk and honey. I don’t know if it is because the cardamom pods are open compared to some of my other loose shai tea but this one has a much heavier cardamom flavor. The cinnamon and ginger are really just backgraound notes.
2 Tasting Notes
I found this to be a very boring chai, more spicy than flavorful. I like my chai complex, and the short ingredient list and overly-spicy scent to the loose tea didn’t get me excited for the decidedly lackluster cup I ended up having. Even with generous helpings of milk and honey, little flavor or aroma came through but pure spicy cinnamon and cardamom.
