I taste a combo of light chai spices and genmaicha, so it definitely tastes how it promises (minus the marshmallow). Unfortunately, I never really think green tea is a good base for chai. I feel like the spices need a base that provides more oomph. There’s a little bit of toastiness from the toasted rice, but this whole thing is just too mild for me, and sometimes there’s a hint of bitterness despite proper steeping. I wouldn’t mind a black based chai with toasted rice though!
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.
I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!
My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
