Double Chocolate Spicy Chai

1# Masala Chocolate Chai: is a hearty tea with a kick. This tea is perfect in the morning to give you an extra boost or anytime tea. (or late night study tea) This tea consist of Chocolate Chai spice , Chocolate Chip black tea and Masala chai black Tea. This tea is perfect to warm you up, for those crisp cool frosty fall/winter mornings. Masala Chocolate Chai tea gives you an extra boost in the morning with a smile of your face. ATTENTION: I added more chocolate to the chocolate chai to give it a better richer taste. Milk or warm milk and sugar/sweetner is a MUST HAVE for this tea. (taste like hot coco with a kick-and healthier with a tea taste) YUMMY! *Brewing Instructions: 2 mins for a mild LESS spicy taste,use 1 1/2 tsp of loose leaf blend for a 6-8 oz cup(less spicy taste). * Brew 3-6 mins for a STRONGER taste and use 2-3 tsp of loose leaf for a 8-10 oz cup. It all comes down to taste, so have a few cups before making a review. :) just a reminder milk/sugar gives this tea a better taste. This special tea blend is not overpowering with spice, just the right amount to give you a spice fix and so it doesn’t overpower the chocolate and cream taste. it’s as spicy as you want to make it, by adding less or more loose leaf blend. :)

Thank you to Rachel for sending me a sample of this to try… I love chocolate, and double chocolate is even better, so I looked forward to trying it.

I have not yet tried Adagio’s Masala Chai tea – so I don’t know how it compares to some of the other chai teas I’ve had. And since this is a blend with the Masala Chai, I realize this is not a true representation of what the Masala Chai would be like. But, I’m kind of sad that the chai spice isn’t very strong in this blend… nor is the chocolate.

I can taste the spices (mostly the ginger followed by a bit of cinnamon), and I can taste the chocolate… but I feel like both are a bit subtle for something called double chocolate spicy chai. Perhaps my expectations were too high, after having tried several of Rachel’s blends and being very impressed? I don’t know.

This is a nice blend though. The spices and the chocolate are strong enough to detract from the Adagio black tea base which is a very good thing – which makes the blend a bit smoother and definitely more tasty than some of the other black teas from Adagio that I’ve tried.

Another tasty sample from Rachel. I like the masala chai base adagio has, and the chocolate and chocolate chip add a rich and velvety chocolate taste. I added a little bit of german rock sugar and skim milk (would have used cream, but had none after last weeks clumpy cream experience). Ahhh…finally a good home made chai!

Backlogging from last night… I had this with a little milk. Despite my lack of interest in chocolate teas, I guess it was just a chocolate day – haha. Anyway this was really good, not particularly chocolatey but nice and flavorful. I enjoyed drinking it while reading a book :)
