I was interested in DT’s new chai blends since I’m a big fan of chais in general. My local DT store was sampling this tea at their store when I dropped by (after work I’ll often cut through the mall on my way home and I’ll usually swing by to try whatever samples they have going that day – I think they all know me by name there at this point).
As it turns out it was a lucky thing that I was able to try it for free because it really wasn’t my thing. It starts off quite nice with a good balance of spice but then the licorice hits and totally ruins it. Davids Tea seems to have this love-affair with licorice root recently and while I don’t dislike the ingredient on principle DT always seems to over-do it. Maybe it isn’t as bad with milk, but I don’t want to shell out the money to try it that way and be disappointed.
