Black Chai Rooibos Blend by Celestial Seasonings
In many countries of South Asia and the Middle East, “chai” simply means “tea,” but there’s nothing simple about a cup of Decaf Sweet Coconut Thai. This complex blend of naturally caffeine free rooibos, naturally decaffeinated black tea and aromatic Thai spices like ginger, cardamom, cloves and Chinese star anise has its roots in India and is traditionally enjoyed with warm milk and honey. The soothing flavor of creamy coconut gives a tropical flavor to conventional chai in this comforting blend.
This is sort of like the fast-food hamburger of chai to me. It was loudly pleasant, but my stomach didn’t feel good afterwards.
Made with 6 oz water, 2 oz milk added after steeping and some honey, it was monolithic. I couldn’t tell any of the tastes from any of the others.
This tea is good on its own, but add a tsp of sugar and everything just magnifies. If you are looking an overall great experience with this tea add milk too and you get an awesome sweet creamy goodness party in your mouth.
I love this tea lately. I haven’t been posting any ’what’s in your cup’ things because this is all I’ve been drinking.
I like it with a little milk (I don’t know how much I kind of wing it) and some, more often than not, some honey (also unmeasured). I skip on the honey if I’m not wanting something too sweet. I don’t really taste the coconut much but my sister who doesn’t like coconut says she can taste it quite well.
I normally don’t do bagged tea, but this blend was quite nice. I brewed 2 bags in 12oz of water, and organic half & half and stevia. Just what I wanted as an after dinner treat.
Yuck! Its not the teas fault, I knew I didn’t like the spicy taste of chai but I was lured in by my all time favorite-Coconut. Needless to say I did not appreciate this cup of tea.
