2302 Tasting Notes
The strongest flavor is the mild spice. Below that, I taste an interesting orange flavor, like the kind you’d find in an orange icing. I also taste a marshmallow or vanilla type flavor. It all is really nice together. The second time I had this, it tasted a bit more like generic winter spices. Still tasty, just not special.
Since this is on an herbal base (just herbs, not even rooibos) it’s a bit less hearty/bold than I prefer in a chai. However, the cardamom is still strong enough that I’m having a good time. And it’s different from other herbal chais I’ve had before. I wouldn’t seek it out, but it’s tasty with sugar and almond milk. The resteep is nice as well, though a little more herbaceous.
This tea smells amazing. The primary flavor is the sweet cinnamon that I see in a lot of S&V dessert blends. I don’t taste any banana or too much of anything else. It’s a tasty blend, just not as complex as I’d hoped. It was quite nice with milk, but I’ll buy S&V blends instead to get a similar, less expensive flavor profile.
The jasmine was too pungent for me. The rooibos base was decent, but the jasmine was too strong. I just wish it were balanced differently. Thanks for sharing, Cameron B!
Hmmm…. This seems like a weird blend to me. Do you think if it was mixed differently or with a better base it would work? My brain can’t wrap around this duo
I hate bergamot on a rooibos base, despite loving rooibos and bergamot individually. I imagine I’d feel pretty much the same about jasmine on rooibos…
