JacquelineM drank Vanilla Chai Red by Zhena's Gypsy Tea

1112 tasting notes

At one point I had nine tins of the various Zhena’s herbal chais is my cupboard ~ last night marks just a few sachets of Hazelnut left! The Vanilla is my favorite and I’m very sad to see it go. So flavorful. The spices were the gentle ones (without strong cloves or overwhelming pepper) and blended well.

I’m still on my stash reduction kick, so I’m not replacing anything right now. Once my cupboard is under control, this favorite is sure to be purchased again!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
