I am not quite sure about this one.

Right away, this has a very strong floral aroma mixed with chai accents, which is quite overwhelming as you are sipping it.

It is a very light flavor that starts subtly, but explodes once it passes your tongue, not too spicy with a slight nutty taste.

I can see this as a nice nooner tea, it does not overwhelm with taste, and it does taste pretty good.

As much as I enjoy this tea, I can’t really have a lot of it, as the flavor is too floral. Once I’m finished, I will not be purchasing more.

Otherwise, I still do quite enjoy this tea every once and a while.

Again, a very floral tea in both aroma and taste, mixed with light chai flavors.

I think the reason I am still mixed about this tea is it seems the floral and chai flavors are fighting to be the dominant taste. At times, I can taste both working but then they part and are at ends again.

It is rather interesting how this works, as it is quite a lively tea, but I would prefer a more dominant chai flavor.

I am not quite sure if I like this tea yet. The smell is SUPER strong, and it doesn’t sit well with me without a little milk and sugar. But I hope it grows on me because we bought a lot of it!

Any suggestions how to serve it?

Mmmmh. I had forgotten that I had this tea until I was doing some tin-cycling. Skinny Chai Pu-erh has a very spicy smell to it and the flavor is fabulous. I didn’t have to sweeten it at all, it was so flavorful. It has a really good tartness to the flavor and a sweetness to the beginning of the sip.

I don’t think it makes you lose weight but it tastes pretty awesome and is a good tea to start the day with.

I love this tea. The lemongrass does it for me. It’s just enough. Not too overpowering. Although if you aren’t used to stronger teas, this may be too strong for you. It’s not spicy, but has a wonderful nutty taste, again with that accent of lemongrass. A wonderful blend of nutty and citrus, with chai too.

Overall a great tea! I would like to try this as an iced tea.

Seriously how can you not try a tea that has the word skinny in it. lol. I had this tea tonight and its not too shabby. I could taste the cinnamon and the chai which are two of my favorite things. This tea is not one of my favorites, but it is one that I will drink again and I think will grow on me more.

more back logging I tried this one because I liked the Strawberry blend that Teavana has. I gotta say that this one tastes funny to me. I can tell they use the chai blend that they put in the Samarui Chai and smell delightful but in a cup it’s just ok I was hoping for more Pu-Erh taste to come out….still pretty good.

I just brewed this before I hit the airwaves. It hit my palette and I noticed familiar flavors to me….definitely the lemongrass, and cinnamon….but what I really noticed is that it reminded me of Tazo(Starbucks) Passion tea. In addition the Pu-Erh. Quite enjoyable this time around especially after chinese for lunch. Got 2 good steepings out of it.

This tastes of anise and licorice notes. It is not my favorite tea, but it is spicy and during winter the spice flavored notes make for a great winter aroma and something I like to have in my cup.

I love this tea and sadden by the fact Teavanna no longer carries it. Does anyone know where else I can get it from?
