Chocolate Chai

I’m not going to rate this one because I want to try it with…WAIT FOR IT…Milk…(if you know me then you know I do not add ANYTHING to my teas not even chai) But LiberTEAs says it’s ‘killer’ with milk and I am hoping that will do the trick. Plain…I’m not digging it, personally. It tastes like coffee, actually. But I am not getting much Chai flavors nor am I understand the chocolate parts…I can see the texture-E type liquid which would make sense for the chocolate but I don’t smell or taste any chocolate. Nor do I with the chai.

I’m dumbfounded with this one but certainly willing to give it another shot…perhaps…WAIT FOR IT…with Milk.

Yum… Chai Latte Time!

Yep, I even warmed up the milk and frothed it.

This is really nice. A pleasing balance of chocolate (rich and delish!) spice (strong but not super spicy) and tea (brisk and strong enough to hold its own with the other powerful flavors). I will have to try this without the milk sometime and see how it is – but it is EXTRAORDINARILY good with the milk. yummy nom nom nom!

I’m not a huge chai fan. It’s never been one of my favorite teas, but today was cold and I had this, so I brewed a pot to take to class with me. I’m pleasantly surprised. It smells more chocolatey than it tastes, but it’s definitely more mellow than most chai teas I’ve had. It’s also possible I’m not really brewing it well. I’d welcome any suggestions or tips from chai-lovers! It’s still not my favorite, but it’s definitely nice on a cold day.

First off I’d like to thank LiberTEAS for sending me a sample of this! The smell is amazing and it makes me think of some dessert that I had when I was a kid but I can’t put my finger on it. It’s a very smooth chocolatey tea but I don’t taste anything that says chai, although I do smell the cinnamon with the cocoa powder. I think I will leave this without a rating for now because it tastes good but I just had spaghetti and the garlic is messing with the flavor of the tea. I know I like it, just not sure how much yet. :)
