Odd, I was sure I rated this one before but it’s not showing up. Steepster’s eating my notes again!
I made this at the end of the day yesterday, my second time having it.
I reached the conclusion that it’s not a favourite of mine, though I do appreciate the chance to try it!
1) I guess I’m not much of a chai fan, but when I drink chai (albeit rarely), I want the strong black tea base so I can add milk and really make it a dessert. This is an herbal.
2) I am starting to realize that the only herbal teas I truly care for (aside from cacao obviously) are the fruity ones that I make iced tea with in the summer. Not so much to drink on a regular basis.
3) Something about this seemed kind of metallic, it left a weird taste in my mouth and slightly numbed my tongue. Maybe the ginger, but I really enjoy ginger and I’ve never noticed that happen before.
4) something about the smell of the tea was offputting to me… every time I took a sip I caught a whiff of this sort of sour note.
5) I didn’t really get any coconut from this!
It’s not a bad tea, I just think it’s not for me. But drinking it twice helped me redefine my tea tastes, so I can’t complain about that!!
But surely you can see why I wouldn’t want this tea to be my 600th tasting note, even though I drank it yesterday, prior to the one I actually used for my 600th tasting note.
I have some left if anyone would like to try it :)
Thanks to Anlina for sending me this in the Secret Santa swap!
This is another Cornelia Bean tisane that I’m not sure why they called it “chai”. It definitely has some chai spices in it, but it’s really quite light and doesn’t say chai to me. It is, however, delicious.
The dominant smell of the dry leaf is ginger, lots of really sweet ginger, with some cinnamon, cardamom, and I want to say raisin (pretty sure there’s no raisin in this.)
Taste wise, it’s quite light. Up front is ginger and lemongrass, and then the coconut, cinnamon, cardamom and clove pop up. This is quite naturally sweet. It has a slightly cookie-ish quality to it – more in the smell than the taste.
Super easy to drink and a really enjoyable combination of flavours.
Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Coconut, Cookie, Ginger, Lemongrass, Raisins, Sweet
