drank Chocolate Chili Chai by DAVIDsTEA
116 tasting notes

So I was in a chocolate mood again this morning. It was between Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Chili Chai and in the end I just wasn’t in a fruit mood so Chili Chai it was. I got some nice chocolate notes out of this today and the heat was still more of a sensation than a taste but it’s still a nice feeling, especially on a wintery Friday morning.

BTW I fully stand behind the thought that this is not a chai tea, it’s just not spicy in the way that I expect when I hear/read the word “Chai”. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the flavors and I’m not 100% certain spicing it up more would enhance the tea any further but it just feels like a bit of a misnomer to me. Shrugs Ah well.

I agree with your assessment of the name of this tea. definitely doesn’t strike me as a chai, either.

Ever since I discovered the wide world that is loose-leaf teas, I haven’t been able to go back. It doesn’t seem to matter what type it is or if it’s “straight” or “flavored” tea is my thing. It’s actually quite funny as I’m surrounded by coffee lovers who just can’t quite grasp why, to me, tea is better than coffee. :D (which considering it’s less-than a 5 minute walk to each of 2 separate Tim Horton’s, a Starbucks AND a Second Cup… that’s saying something!)

On the whole I tend to prefer my tea strong and “au natural” with no sweeteners, milk or other additions, but like most everyone there’s always exceptions to the rule… just not many of them.

Aside from tea I love reading (especially if there is a fireplace or campfire involved), camping/hiking, horseback riding and Healing Touch (similar to Reiki). Oh and computers and board games (euro style, is there anything else? ;)) and… and… chuckles OK so I have a large variety of interests.
