Classic India Spice

My expectations for this tea were high, based on the stature of the brand in natural food circles. It turns out that the spice is enhanced with oils of spices, resulting in a spicy flavour so overpowering and artificial that I had to force myself to drink the noxious brew. After a few trials, I disposed of the remainder of the package. I am not impressed.

This could be called an 8-ingredient herbal chai. The flavor is very very bold. This recipe is thousands of years old and Indians say it cleanses the body. This cup is so spicy it will make you sweat a few drops. Invigorating with milk and honey and great if you mix one bag with a bag of Assam.
Organic Cardamom Seed, Organic Ginger Root, Roasted Chicory Root, Carob Pod, Organic Cinnamon Bark, Organic Clove Bud, Stevia Leaf, Organic Black Pepper

Not bad, not bad. Certainly not my favorite chai, but then again, I’ve been having issues with Yogi lately.
Still a nice cup for waking up with though. Tea in the morning with breakfast? YES. (then tea in class, tea with lunch, tea snack, maybe tea dinner though by then I’m sometimes burned out, and tea late night treat. All my favorites.)

One of my Favourite teas to enjoy with milk, steep time is long but the tea is worth the wait. Deliciously full bodied, deep, and rich. The spicy flavor works well as a afternoon pick me up while studying and the ginger helps with my summer allergies. A delicious staple tea to keep on hand.

My fav bagged chai

I’m not a big fan of most Yogi teas, but they are cheap and they sell them at the corner store. This one was a welcome surprise. I find most tea-bag chais flat and bland, but this one was nicely spiced with rich notes of cinnamon and cardamom.

I bought this to go with some homemade Indian food, and because it was purely herbal and wouldn’t keep me up afterwords. I made this with hot milk and a dash of honey, and it was a great chai. It resembled the chai I’ve gotten in Indian restaurants a lot more than anything else I’ve ever bought, despite it not having masala as a component. I like that I can combine this with green, black, or rooibos tea depending on my mood.

When I have a bag of bland chai, I combine it with this to kick up the taste. But this is spicier than I remember it. Maybe too lively for most, but it goes well with honey and soy milk.

Cardamom flavor overpowers the rest, the result is not very pleasant, l even though I adore normal chai.

Excellent tea for fall/ winter weather.

This so reminds me of sitting on the roof of my flat in Tolcross..

I think I let this steep too long. Ended up with heartburn.
