I was so excited to try this, but it let me down. It has everything I like, so I don’t know what happened, I have a feeling it has to do with the nitpicky preparation I see others have described. I tried two times to make a cup of this, first with four minutes, and then with only two, and both times it just turned out bitter and bland, I couldn’t make out much in the way of spice. What a let-down. After those two disappointments, I made a cup of Coco Chai Rooibos, which hasn’t disappointed me yet.
I’m thinking maybe in time, when I’m better at preparing a drink consistently, I’ll give this another shot. It really feels like a case of “it’s not you, it’s me”.
