Yes. Yes to everything about this tea. THIS is how I want my chai. My expectations were actually pretty low, because the girl at the store said it mostly tasted like cardamom, but it is so much more than just cardamom!

Sure, it does start pretty heavy on the cardamom with some ginger mixed in. But then it transforms into something sweet, that reminds me of marzipan. Which is weird, because there’s no reason for it. Then there’s some cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg thrown in there. My god mother used to make something called speculaas, which was a tart spiced with cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a marzipan fill—this tea is that in a cup with some ginger and cardamom thrown in for good measure and it really makes me want to bake some. I also love how light it is; the green base is just so refreshing. I will absolutely pick up some of this! It’s probably the best chai I’ve ever had.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, Marzipan, Nutmeg

Ohh, I hope I get the marzipan when I try it too.

Fingers crossed it wasn’t just a fluke :)
