Chai White

My Tao of tea order came in yesterday while I was at work and between the busy evening and waking up later this morning I wasn’t able to devote the time for a full review, making me very sad. So I decided to perk up my mood with an old favorite. I swear, I collect Stash chais. There are very few chai/spiced teas of theirs that I haven’t bought. This one is strongly cardamom and cinnamon like the rest but the white tea base gives it a lighter feel? flavor? I’m not quite sure how to describe it. But it makes it a great tea for a morning with just a bit of a chill.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about this tea. The spices are reminiscent of baby gherkin pickles… I usually love chai tea, but I’m not in love with this white chai tea.

I guess I should give this a thumbs up? The spices were delicious, but they were all I could taste. I couldn’t taste the tea itself. A few of these would be good to add to some plain black tea…

Usually I let this steep far longer than it actually is intended to, just because it is very faint to start with. For whatever reason, I really like this blend, even though it doesn’t seem to make any logical sense with chai spices in my head. Super soft and creamy with milk and a bit of stevia / sugar.

i drank this very quickly without even noticing until it was gone. i guess that means i liked it?

Still not quite sure about this one. The white tea is obviously very mild but the chai spices are pretty strong so it’s kind of an odd combination. Black tea works much better with spices like these.
