Lala drank Chai by Watkins

871 tasting notes

This is my all time favorite chai. Unfortunately the company does not make it anymore :(
I have been hanging on to one last can for way too long, using it sparingly for special occaisions. And also hiding it from my sister, who is also in love with the blend.
This chai mix is different as it blends green and black tea with spices, I have found no other chai tea similar and have been unsuccessful at re-creating it myself.
The tea is bold and spicey, but does not burn your tastebuds, the mix of black and green tea is smooth.
I will be sad when I use the last of this tea.

I’m with Lala, and my all time favorite Chai. Watkins produces some darn good products but this one they should have kept on. I am SO sad they discontinued this because it was like no other Chai I’ve ever found. Absolutely perfect

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
