After a late (and long) night last night I woke up wanting chai… but I couldn’t figure out which Chai I really did want… Chocolate Chili was too sweet, same with Cinnamon Rooibos; Pumpkin wasn’t spicy enough; Green just wasn’t what I was in the mood for… and the only other Chai I have at work at the moment was DT’s “Pure Chai” which wasn’t all that impressive either. So I decided to get “creative” and take a little bit of the pure chai and mix it into the Pumpkin to see if that would help the lack of spice issue that I’ve been running into with this tea.
It’s not quite there, but it’s much closer to what I remember it being. The mix washes out the pumpkin a bit and there’s an odd aftertaste that I can’t quite place but other than that it’s pretty good; warm, some decent hits of spice and the black tea base is coming through nicely as well. This gives me hope that if I can remember to bring some whole cloves and cinnamon bark into work I can adjust this tea enough to truly enjoy the rest of the bag.
