This one is from Sips By. Three fourths of my box this month was spiced, and I am loving it.
This tea is super aromatic! Mmm. Clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and gingerbread notes. Each scoop seems to have as much spice as it does black tea. Smells like your traditional masala chai, and maybe a bit of vanilla.
The black pepper gives this such a nice kick. I love any kind of pepper in chai. It really boosts the ginger burn. Could have sworn I smelled lavender while this was steeping, but there isn’t any actually in it. I didn’t add milk, though I can imagine it would be delicious if I had. Still tasting vanilla even though it’s not listed in the ingredients. This is so well-rounded and leaves my mouth tingling. Definitely one of the best chais I’ve had in a long time.
Flavors: Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Cloves, Ginger, Spices
“A blend of Orthodox, CTC teas and our special masala spice mix” – an interesting combination for sure.
