Continuing on catching up with my DavidsTea advent calendar. When I saw this I was excited, I’m a big chai fan.
Dry – Mix of black tea and various chunks of spices. Has a sweet almost bourbon smell to it.
Steeped – Dark brown liquid but for a black tea, I can still see the bottom of the cup! Has a sweet spicy smell.
Taste – Licorice and some chai spices, very little vanilla. It was surprisingly sweet. The spices lingered in the back of my throat. It was a bit bitter even though I did the minimum brewing time. After my initial tasting I added unsweetened almond milk which did cut the sweetness and bitter aftertaste. This makes a much better latte.
Too much licorice, not enough vanilla and far too sweet. Definitely not for me.
