3 Tasting Notes

Fragrance of cloves and a note of apples. It tastes primarily of cloves but there is a sweet mixture of tastes below that strong note of cloves. It is, overall, an average chai. I like it but there are chais I love. This one may improve by being prepared in the traditional way: simmering in milk or by being steeped longer.

I like this with a teaspoon of sugar per teacup and I brew it like a regular black tea as opposed to infusing in milk. It’s probably one of my favorite Chai blends of all time. Nicely spiced and perfumed, with prominent but not overwhelming clove, cinnamon and cardamom.

I know a few people who like to add a little bit of black tea to this to bring the tea notes out further. I don’t find that necessary, but it’s worth mentioning.

Total comfort – vanilla soymilk and sweetener. I don’t drink this often, but when I do I love it.
