First, for technicalities, Upton now calls this “Hearthside Chai” and it appears to be limited edition.
It’s a chai kind of night. Chai is something I can usually count on liking. For those of us who like the chai spices, it’s usually a matter of trying to find the perfect blend for our own personal preferences. Upton has already won me over with their Tropical Chai Spice, but there’s always room for more favorites in this category : )
Ok, the smell of this one is wonderful. It smells like it has vanilla (but does not, and doesn’t come through on the taste either). First sip, I’m thinking about a friend who likes her chai spices to be very mild. For me, I want a little more pow. The flavors are very well blended. Can detect the licorice, cinnamon isn’t dominating (common) and it’s a nice “mild” blend. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is worth a test (but hurry, it’s limited) : )
Does anyone know whether this is seasonal (will be back next year?).

That is the first time I noticed this one was limited. In the past, when I have seen a product get like this, it could mean that is all they will have until the next batch, or it could mean they will not have it again….. I would email and ask if you want to know for sure. They are very helpful and respond pretty quickly.
Hmmm, that’s possible (that they are just running low). I did order more of the Tropical Chai that you knew I was going to like (and the Vanilla and EG Vanilla that I also liked). This is probably not going to be one I order, but did notice that you liked it a lot (if you’re low…).

I am pretty good for now…I haven’t been on a huge chai kick, lately, but maybe that will change! I actually like the Tropical one very much, too, so I would not be opposed to ordering that one if they run out of this one.
