Brews up almost exactly like their Caramel Chai… and their Oprah Chai… just the same “chai” cinnamon base.
It smells a LITTLE like gingerbread but that’s a stretch.

Second steep is alright. And it seems mostly rooibos, don’t know why it’s described as a black tea.

Flavors: Cinnamon

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Brews up deliciously! I used a lot… maybe 4tsp / 10oz.
Does NOT brew sour, it’s actually quite sweet like lemonade but with lime, obviously.

Unfortunately because it’s so heavy it ends up being quite expensive…

Flavors: Lime, Pineapple

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 45 sec 4 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Brews up mildly sour, grape has dominated and you can’t taste the tea.
The leaf really swells up too.

This only steeps twice, though they’re both good steeps.

Bitter, floral.

Leaf smells great but brews into an average tea. Wouldn’t buy again.

Second steep was still strong, but didn’t bother with a third.
