Horrible. Steeped for a few minutes, sugar and milk added, I have no desire to finish this cup. Disgusting. And for the record, I’m not against bagged teas, even if I do prefer looseleaf.

Huge bag, great smell, really looked forwards to this.

My god was it awful. Couldn’t finish it. Something harsh overpowered everything, there was no balance whatsoever.

It’s probably not the most traditional Chai Tea out there, but of all the mass produced bagged Chai’s I’ve tasted this one by far remains my favourite. Whatever their blend is it’s just the perfect balance of all the right flavours. Nothing too overpowering. It’s my go-to morning tea and has been for almost 4 years now.

I’ve tried many a chai, and there may be better ones out there, but this is a staple that I won’t be giving up any time soon.

A pretty good Chai from Second Cup, not too cinnamon-ey which I find to be off-putting. Nice and spicy!
