I was hoping for a more balanced blend, but I’m mainly getting the star anise. The smell actually reminds me of a soup tea I’ve tasted in the past (I can’t seem to put my finger on which one). But, there is a savory quality to this that I’m not enjoying.

Made a proper latte this morning. Poured tons of caramel sauce in the cup, and topped it off with super frothy oat milk. So decadent and tasty.

First cup for the year, and I stand by my perfect rating. I find this to be the ultimate comforting, cozy fall flavor. Steeped directly in an oat milk/water combo on the stove. I still have 10oz from last year, which I’m going to sip down a bit before purchasing more, so hopefully it stays in stock for a little while longer.

I’ll admit- I got this tea because the name/image make me laugh. Luckily, this is a really tasty autumn blend! A bit roast, with some squashiness, a touch of spice, and a pronounced sweet almond flavor. Really enjoying it.

Sadly another failure of a cup today. Not getting any pear or caramel. Just tastes like an old walnut. Not enjoyable.

After the disappointing cup of Banana Bread Chai that I had this morning, I decided to venture back into banana territory for the second cup of the day. This one is much more pleasant! The banana flavor is present, with some toffee notes as well. Very rich and decadent.

Reducing my rating for this A LOT. I’m not getting any banana. It’s just a spicy rooibos.

Not loving this one. I taste apple and cinnamon, but it’s pretty thin tasting…and I’m getting a rooibos note even though there isn’t any rooibos on the ingredient list. I wish the hojicha and chestnut were more present, and I can’t taste either.

Another winner! It has the creamy caramel flavor that I’ve been looking for, combined with mild ginger (not a spicy ginger, just ginger flavor). Added a bit of honey, and it’s quite an autumnal treat (plus the vintage Halloween art is wonderful too).

Sipdown. Thank you to Shae for sharing this with me. I love it, and I’m so sad it’s gone. I’ve been saving one cup worth until I could really savor it. I had my 3.5hour HR Management class last night, and I figured it would be a good time to enjoy my last cup. Such a wonderful chai- fluffy marshmallow, and a perfect blend of spices.
