I love fennel – especially in tea. I love that bit of black licorice taste it imparts.

So I was very happy to see how much fennel is in this particular chai. Yum!

This is a very good chai. The Assam tea base is strong and sturdy. It provides some heft to the cup without getting too aggressive and overthrowing the spices. Even though there is a lot of fennel in this blend, it is not TOO much – the spices are in delightful balance.

Yummy!

I was afraid when I saw just how much fennel was in this! I have had some bad experienced with fennel in tea. BUT

This is wonderful! It leads me to believe that much of the fennel that I have had in teas has been either artificial or enhanced in some way with additional flavoring and/or the blends I have had have been too over the top with the other ingredients that either don’t mesh well with the other spices or interrupt the natural fennel taste!

Regardless…
this is what fennel SHOULD be all about! This has a great deal of Fennel IN the mix but it tastes very good and more natural tasting than others I have tried prior!

The other ingredients are gentle and in the background. They only assist and do the fennel justice in this specific case! I’m very impressed with this one!

This if my favorite Fennel Related Tea to date! Nicely done!

Yogic Chai…great company…interesting offerings…like this one. I’m sipping a small cuppa and passing a little bit on.
