Backlog:
Definitely spicier than the average chai! I really liked this. A strong ginger note that is accented with black pepper and red pepper flake that provide a really nice kick to this. A nice cinnamon note, I love the anise in there. The cardamom and clove round out the spice flavor.
The black tea base is strong enough to be tasted – I don’t get a lot of the nuances of the black tea but I don’t think that’s what a chai is all about anyway. Chai is usually about the spice and this blend really showcases the spices nicely.
Don’t forget about my ‘bid’ to take over 52Teas! Here’s my kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/497705217/the-great-52teas-take-over
