These little sachets of Chocolate Chai from Chai Diaries are really hit or miss as far as the chocolate is concerned. By chance, I happened to select two sachets without any chocolate chips in them at all, and with lots of big chunks of ginger. Guess what? The brew tastes like Ginger Chai!
I cannot say that I am particularly fond of chunk o’ food blends à la Teavana, and chocolate chips are of course food, and in this case they have all turned white—as does all chocolate with age and exposure to air. However, in this blend it does seem to be the chocolate chips which provide the bulk of the chocolate flavor, which suggests that the company needs to work on its production process so that each sachet has some of everything: black tea, ginger, cardamom (another case where some sachets contain a cardamom pod, while others contain none), chocolate chips, dessicated ginger, and other spices.
Otherwise, they should change the name to Luck o’ the Draw Chai!
Flavors: Ginger
