This one REALLY surprised me! For one…I never would have thought of flavoring kukicha with these chai ingredients but now that it has been done I am glad it was!

The Cardamom and Cinnamon are NOT overly strong at all…they are wonderful on the assist! As are the Ginger and Clove. The primary flavors are the Kukicha and Coconut which are bold and sassy! I love that about this blend!

As for the aroma it’s a coconut-twig-toasty-nutty-slightly coffee bean-esque type aroma that I have never sniffed before! Very creative/unique and a daring/bold move! And a successful one, I might add!! This exceeded my expectations and was a wondrous surprise!

Erm, I’m horrible. I forget who sent this to me… I’m sorry! This tea is so delicious! The spices are well balanced and not too much fennel or anise or any of that licorice flavor. Bleh. The roastiness sort of gave this a caramel-like flavor. I need more of this. Better than rooibos or black base. There should be more kukicha blends out there.

I am addicted to this blend and have had it for the past 5 nights in a row. I was concerned prior to ordering that since this was an “authentic” chai, the cardamom would be overpowering. This is not the case. All of the spices blend well and perfectly. As an extra plus, the coconut provides a natural sweetness. This is a tie w/Liberteas Masterpiece Chai.

Yay! I love Yogic Chai!

This is so good. Yogic Chai’s masala spices are so good – spiced very well (almost as good as mine). The kukicha adds a bit of toasty flavor to the cup which is very nice and very harmonious with the coconut. I would say that this is my favorite Yogic Chai so far, but that wouldn’t be fair because it’s been quite a while since I’ve had much from them. (Although there is much more to come now!)

Lovely flavor. Spiced but not overly spicy, warm, delicious and comforting. Yum Yum Yum!

Finishing off the last that I have of this tea. So yummy!

Got this at Yogic’s pre Black Friday sale. Finally getting a chance to enjoy it – and boy is it enjoyable. A beautiful blend of chai spices. Made a foamy latte with it. YUM!

It’s been a few days since I posted. It’s hard to find time to post when you’re celebrating Christmas with family and friends. I’ll just have to make all the teas I’ve had again to post later ;)

Wanted something dessert-like last night, so I made this amazing chai. Yogic really does it right!! I’m still craving it right now :)

I made this chai instead of 52tea’s chocolate chai – enjoyed it a lot more! But then I realized I forgot to put sugar into the other. Oops!

Oh yum.

I got three little pouches from Yogic Chai. I feel like I should have started with the original, but this one has been beckoning to me for months.

It is a tasty chai. I did it on the stovetop in the milk/water mixture suggested and the one I typically use for chais. So good! Creamy, roasty, nicely spiced and well-balanced.

This is so very good. I seem to want it every day, even today despite the warm weather, and am really wishing I got more. I must drink a lot more tea before allowing myself to buy any more, but I’m going to be upset to run out of this creamy, sweet, spicy, kukicha goodness.
