drank Herbal Oprah Chai by Teavana
326 tasting notes

I can’t really say I’m a fan of the original Oprah Chai Tea, but I was curious to see how this one differed.

I started sipping this one before it really had a chance to steep—about a minute, maybe 2—and was pleasantly surprised. The lemongrass and ginger were really noticeable, with the cinnamon not too overpowering. Slight hint of anise, which I’m never fond of, but no big deal. It was actually refreshing. Sadly, because I usually brew herbals for about 6 minutes, I left the bag in and after maybe 4 minutes the cinnamon just overpowered the whole cup and ruined it for me. Dumped the rest out.

Flavors: Anise, Cinnamon, Ginger, Lemongrass

I was SO disappointed in the Oprah chai, but granted I wasn’t expecting much anyway. Why they’re even bothering with a herbal one now is beyond me.

I was working as a cashier at Target when it came out and as soon as I saw the signs over at the Starbucks I was like “really, just really?”. I find most of the choices after the Teavana switch confusing. At least the herbal chai offers a choice to those who don’t want caffeine, but don’t want fruit or mint.
