Red Baron Chai

Yet ANOTHER tea that Miss Sweet Sent me!! YAY! (I’m till thinking about that wonderful New Zealand Breakfast…yummmmm)

Anyhow…
As soon as I open the bag I could smell LOTS of cinnamon. But once I started infusing I could smell citrus.

The color of the liquid is a nice even medium brown. The first thing that came to mind once I smells the finished product (the post-infusion) was my Girls Scout Camp Days…I can’t really tell you why this is the case but it was the first thing I thought of while sniffing the aroma.

WOW!

The first sip was surprisingly good. Even tho it’s a Rooibos it doesn’t really taste like it – I guess it happily meets the other flavors in the middle for a ‘happy medium’ of tastes! It’s a little sweet but is paired with cinnamon and citrus but no one ingredient is overly louder than the others…I really like this!

Ready for a shocker!?

I think this is my FAVORITE Chai/Rooibos thus far!!!!

Trying a sample of this courtesy of TeaEqualsBliss! Thank you!

The dry leaf smells great.

As far as rooibos chai blends go, this one is pretty good. It is much better with frothed milk and a little honey than without – I found that without the additions, I could taste too much of the rooibos (that icky “artificial” sweetener flavor again). But with the milk and honey, the masala spices really come to life.
