My mum got my dad a Twinings wooden compartment box full of teabags for Christmas – the tea love runs in the family :) I was in the mood for chai, so I thought I’d give this one a try.
I made it with milk and sugar – chai is always better that way, in my experience. This tea isn’t as strong as most chai blends I’ve tried before, there’s less emphasis on the spices, and the flavour is quite balanced between the maltiness of the Assam and the sweetness of the cloves, with cinnamon being more of a background note. I can’t really detect any other flavours such as orange peel, will have to steep for longer next time and see if that makes a difference.
