Mmmm… Doughnut Tea! It could easily be considered a ‘dessert tea’ that could help you cut your calorie and fat intake by substituting this yummy cup for your normal dessert. Scrumptious as is, but tastes amazing with a spoonful or two of our all natural Amber Sugar Gems (made of pure Cane Sugar) and a dash of milk, if you like.
Ingredients:
Black tea, Darjeeling, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Cloves, Vanilla Beans, Flavoring
- Made with All Organic Ingredients
Oh.My.GAWD.
This takes me on a trip to YUMSVILLE!
This is one of the better chai’s I have tried and one of the best specialty-flavored chai’s I have come across!
It reminds me of a Spiced Donut from Tim Hortons! It’s like drinking chai and eating a donut at the same time!
The spices are just-right for my liking! The Vanilla is a wonderful touch! The pastry-likeness to a donut is right around where it should be! Overall this is a real winner! WOW! I really like this one!
I’m not going to lie, this tea was the catalyst for my Compass teas order.
I mean – DONUTS! Probably one of my favorite desserts! In TEA!!!
The smell of this dry is exactly what those cinnamon sugar apple cinnamon donuts smell like. I think you get them from Krispy Kreme? Anyway, even the boyfriend admitted it smelled amazing – though he followed that up with his trademark “but I wouldn’t want to drink it.” Flavored blends just aren’t his thing.
Sadly though I think I steeped this too long. I went by my standard black tea steeping time but plain this is SO astringent, even a touch medicinal. This needs milk and possibly sugar…and even with it that medicinal note is peeking through – maybe that’s the apple-y note gone bad?
Anyway. So next time I’ll try a shorter steep and hope that helps things…
