drank Vanilla Chai by Tropical Tea Company
212 tasting notes

I was super excited to see this come in today. I’ve been wanting to try a vanilla chai for a while now.

The vanilla is present but not as strong as I expected. Each of the spices give a shout out for a moment. Then I find a floral taste, almost like incense with all these spices combined. I wonder if the sunflower petals are responsible. If so, I don’t think I want sunflower petals again. A bitter after taste makes me think I may have prepared it wrong.

I’d drink it again but I wonder if it would be better with milk. I typically don’t use milk, as it hates me. We’ve been enemies for many years now, for well, as long as I’ve been around.

How cool you two must have so much fun doing this together! Do you do your separate reviews then compare? :)

Hehe, yeah, we do have a lot of fun. We do some comparing while we’re typing these up, but mostly we just talk about the teas, and then read each others reviews. I’m a lucky guy to have her. :-)

He is the most amazing person! Our romance spills over into every thing we do. It is really fun to be able to share our experiences. Drinking tea is a relaxing hobby we now share. I’m glad I snagged him. :D

I’ve discovered I really like the spicy, nutty teas. Some fruity teas are pretty good but they are hit and miss for me. Flower teas really aren’t my thing right now. Seems like my preferences are changing so this may be different in the future.

Tea Rating system:

90 – 100: This is a tea I will always have on hand at work, and at home. I will leave it on altars as offerings of perfection.

80 – 89: This, or one of it’s close cousins, will likely be in my cabinet at home. When this tea runs out, I will buy more. I’ll always wonder if there is something better, but be too afraid to look to stray from home to find it.

70 – 79: Definitely good, but not a clear winner. I enjoy it, I’ll finish it, but I probably won’t buy it again until I’ve exhausted all other versions of this product from any reputable retailer. Though, it may enjoy a resurrection for custom blending.

60 – 69: This tea is okay, but definitely not something I’m going to brew again. I’m going to give what I have left away.

30 – 59: I didn’t finish drinking this tea. I actually poured it out, and went for something else. I’ll still give this tea away, but I’ll do it with a warning and a plead for forgiveness.

0 – 29: This tea is riding securely towards an iceberg at the helm of the failboat. I’ve taken this out of my tea tin, and laid it on a napkin as potpurri. I do not consider it fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did copy this from Dylan. It’s okay we share every thing any ways.
