1120 Tasting Notes
I love s’mores and tend to dislike chai, so this was an interesting one to try. The smell is very distinctive — not quite chai, not quite marshmallows, and not really a combination of the two, just… distinctive. In a good way!
The liquor tastes like a weak chai… which is not a complaint in and of itself. Most chai is far too spicy for me, but this one is at just the right level for me to notice the spices without feeling overwhelmed… although I would prefer less peppercorn and more cinnamon. Sadly, I’m not really getting much s’more taste, even sweetened. There’s maybe a hint of graham crackers when I search for it, but overall it feels like it’s trying very hard and failing to be something besides a plain chai.
Overall, yay for being chai that I enjoy smelling and drinking, boo for being only barely s’more-esque.
This is one of a few of Tea for All Reasons’ teas that is obviously influenced by an offering from Davidstea, but as a chocolate-cherry concoction as opposed to David’s cinnamon, I was more intrigued by this version. I’m not going to make any sweeping statements since I prefer to try a tea a few times before declaring whether I like it, but this seems promising.
