White Chai

Backlogging from this AM: Got this as a free sample. I really enjoyed this new take on a chai! It’s not as bold as others, but the flavors are definitely enjoyable. Plus the white tea base doesn’t compete for attention as much as a black tea base would. Overall this is a decent chai. Plus I was able to resteep twice and the flavor was just as bold as the first cup. (A fourth steeping did not go as well, but honestly, I only ask for one add’l steeping.)

I just had to try this white tea with chai! I thought it would be interesting to try some spices in teas other than black. (I haven’t seen a green chai.. I would imagine the green would really bring out the spices.) White teas are usually my least favorite. I thought spices would help me like this white tea, as chai is my favorite. But this is odd. The spices aren’t strong enough to me. Maybe the white tea drains the flavor out of the spices. Maybe chai spices just naturally go with black tea. Maybe I dislike white teas, no matter what is paired with them. But try this one if you either love white teas or chai!
