This chai is a little weaker for the first half of the cup, but then becomes stronger towards the end. Normally I am a fan of this sort of heterogeneity, but the initial taste is fairly weak, and even near the bottom of the cup, it is still weaker than most other chais. I would recommend using more than the recommended amount/per unit water. The recommended steeping directions create a less than satisfying tea experience. The tea itself is fine, no bitterness, and hints of citrus and orange mixed with faint spices would be a pleasant combination if presented in proper amounts. Milk isn’t necessary, and it may actually harm the flavor of this chai by covering up many of the already subtle flavors.
Flavors: Anise, Citrus Zest, Clove, Ginger, Orange
