Scheherazade drank Snowball Sticky Chai by Bird & Blend Tea Co.

2370 tasting notes

Chose a seasonally appropriate tea for a cozy festive treat this afternoon; Snowball Sticky Chai made into a latte. I used whole milk and melted in a tbsp of marshmallow fluff for a touch of extra decadence!

Snowball has been a Christmas favourite for a while, but this is my first time trying the sticky chai version. The core flavours of chocolate and coconut are there, made extra cozy by the subtle chai spicing. The black tea base is robust enough that the “tea” aspect doesn’t get lost in all of the milky, creamy flavours, so all in all I would say this works quite well. I don’t particularly need it to be a chai, as lattes made with the original are just as good, but it’s a nice warming twist for winter and an extra dab of cozy all the same.

Bio

Hi :) I’m Sarah, and I live in Suffolk in the UK. My tea obsession began when a friend introduced me to Teapigs around a decade ago. Since then, I’ve been insatiable. Steepster introduced me to a world of tea I never knew existed, and my goal is now to TRY ALL THE TEAS. Or most of them, anyway.

I still have a deep rooted (and probably life-long) preference for black tea. My all-time favourite is Assam, but Yunnan also occupies a place in my heart. Flavoured black tea can be a beautiful thing, and I like a good chai latte in the winter.

I’m still warming up to green teas (even after all this time!) I don’t think they’ll ever be my favourites, but I don’t hate them anymore. Oolongs, with the exception of the odd one or two, just don’t generally tend to float my boat. My exploration of pu’erh, both ripened and raw, continues.

Everything else I can take or leave, but I am still searching for the perfect fruit tea. One without hibiscus. That actually tastes of fruit.

My default brewing style is western with no additions. If I deviate from that it will be documented in the specific tasting note. If you would like me to review your teas please contact me via instagram @scheherazade_steeps

My rating system:

91-100: The Holy Grail. Flawless teas I will never forget.

81-90: Outstanding. Pretty much perfection, and happiness in a cup.

71-80: Amazing. A tea to savour, and one I’ll keep coming back to.

61-70: Very good. The majority of things are as they should be. A pleasing cup.

51-60: Good. Not outstanding, but has merit.

41-50: Average. It’s not horrible, but I’ve definitely had better. There’s probably still something about it I’m not keen on.

31-40: Almost enjoyable, but something about it is not for me.

11-30: Pretty bad. It probably makes me screw my face up when I take a sip, but it’s not completely undrinkable.

0-10: Ugh. No. Never again. To me, undrinkable.
