TeaBrat drank Fireside Chai by Zhena's Gypsy Tea

2816 tasting notes

I got this at the bulk foods section at Rainbow Grocery a while back…

This rooibos is pretty tasty, I don’t think it’s the best I’ve ever had but it’s good for my evening tea nightcap. The valencia orange and clove flavoring adds a nice touch here, I think. It’s kind of a cross between a regular chai and an orange spice tea. A nice cinnamon element is also present.

I steeped this for 7 minutes in a t-sac and then added some soymilk. A nice tea to wind down the week, I think. Happy Friday, Steepies! :)

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta
