Waaaaaay backlogging on this one. I completely forgot about it. Oops.
I am not a huge chai fan. I had an Oregon Chai “Dreamscape” blend at one point that was a rooibos base with chai spices, and I couldn’t wait to get rid of it.
This is the only chai-like blend that I like. It’s sweet enough on its own that I don’t need to add any sugar, which is a plus for me. (I usually like my teas with as few additives as possible.) Also, it’s completely herbal and therefore caffeine-free. Which makes it perfect bedtime tea.
Mostly, I taste the cinnamon. Which is totally fine with me, because I adore cinnamon. Overall, its characteristics are warm, dark, and loud! It smells very strongly of chai spice, even dry- I can smell the teabags even when the box is shut. Once steeped, it makes the whole room smell delicious. It’s hard to ignore this blend!
This is a good tea to drink during late fall and all throughout winter, when you’re bundled up in your flannels with your hands wrapped around the mug for warmth and dreaming of summer.
