CHAI

Chai Rooibos Blend by Chinois d'Or

Asian-spicy rooibos herb teas.
The word "Chai comes originally from South East Asia and is often used for strong Herbal Teas. This discovery of Ceylon and Indonesia is now a worldwide trend drink. We have (used instead of black tea) as basic Rooibos and developed a magical and surprising herbal tea without caffeine for the whole family. Do not worry: This tea is specially compiled for our Central European palate.

Asian-spicy taste with cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, cardamom, orange, clove and allspice. A very rounded spiced tea blend with a delicate sharpness.

Preparation: 8 minutes in hot water.

Asian Spicy? I wasn’t sure how to take that until I took my first and 2nd sip…and…that’s really the only way one could describe this! Mostly because it WAS the first thing that came to mind…the aroma reminded me of a regional Asian Restaurant I have eaten at!

As for the taste – it’s fairly smooth but spicy and fruity and sweet. I can taste the spices, but can also taste the orange notes. There is a good deal of vanilla that I can taste, too. This is good! I like this more than I thought I would!

OMG this smells so irresistible! Chai spices, vanilla… something else too that i find so mmmm. Hope it tastes like this :D Rooibos and chai spices combo sounds quite compelling.

Color is turning pretty orange-red, not very clear…
Tastes yummy. Quite fruity. Quite vanilla. Just a hint of chai. Not spicy really. Normally i’d leave it unsweetened because i’m kinda loving it like this but ill try it with honey and milk as they recommend on their website.
First honey… well for me was better without because it’s sweet by itself but its still very good.
Now bit of milk… yep yep very yum again :D Becomes quite mild. Think i found my perfect evening caffeine free tea.

I’ll give it the perfect rating today just because it surprised me so nicely…

I’m in the mood for a yummy yummy tea. Lets go check if it will impress me like last time…
Its still awesome. Only thing i would change is licorice root. I don’t like licorice. I find it weirdly sweet. I’d take it out…
I can luckily just barely feel it in this tea so its still great.
Sooo tasty…

Oh and lol the ziploc bags that i ordered so i can send people samplers came in today. They are tiny hehe. I totally got it wrong. They can fit tea like just enough to make one cup – two tops. But i do have 500 of those now :D Oh well i’d be surprised if it wasn’t me.
