A teaxperience in four acts:
Act I: Regular steep, hot water only. I was immediately disappointed. This is very clearly, for me, a blend that wants some sort of cream and sweetener.
Act II: Oat mylk steep. Too oaty. Slightly better than a plain-water steep, but not by much.
Act III: Pistachio mylk steep. Better than oat. Still not great.
Act IV: Almond mylk steep. I had high hopes for this one, so I was disappointed by how impressively mediocre it was. I did dump in a whole lot of sugar this time, which made it more palatable but also very anti-diabetic.
Almond mylk was by far the best, and really were I in a more generous mood I might even call it pretty good, but at this point I was honestly just engrumbled by the sheer effort I had to put into making this taste good. I am exceedingly lazy and have a lot of love for blends that taste good no matter what I do to them.
I should say something about the flavour and fragrance, I reckon: essentially, it’s not gingery enough for me.

That’s strange. 52teas chai and ginger-type blends are usually stellar.
52teas everything is usually stellar. And this may be, too. Tastes are different and everything isn’t for everyone. Plus, I don’t see how it’s possible to ensure that every packet of tea and every scoop steeped has exactly the right amount of each ingredient to result in the taste the blender intended. I read another review of this tea that said it was too gingery—it just wasn’t for me. =)
