Vanilla Chai by Bigelow
An exotic Chai Tea with a blend of vanilla flavor and spices.
Ingredients:
Black Tea, spices, natural and artificial flavors (soy lecithin) gluten free
Vanilla Chai is a delightful blend of tea and exotic spices. It is often brewed with milk, which gives Chai a wonderful, creamy characteristic. In Bigelow Vanilla Chai we have added the flavor of vanilla offering you a whole new dimension in Chai.
Steep 2-4 minutes
Company description not available.
The spices and black tea are there but the vanilla is hiding. Perhaps i steeped too long? Hmmm no. I did just about 4 minutes but the bag says 4. It was much better at 3 minutes. Its not exotic like they claim. I love teas with vanilla usually but this one just isn’t doing it.
Decided to make this according to the “authentic” directions on the box. While heating up, it smelled so sweet and vanillay. I simmered it for 3 minutes and then poured the whole pot in my cup, forgetting to remove the tea bag. I then proceeded to get distracted, while the tea continued to steep. Maybe 10-15 minutes later I took a sip, and instantly realized my mistake. Way over steeped! I seem to have a bad habit of doing that. I was pretty disappointed, I usually make this tea the quick way, and it’s a sweet vanilla with a nice depth added from the chai spices. If does taste a little artificial, but still enjoyable. And since I like it with the quick method, I was excited to try the authentic method. Might try again later.
