Masala chai and caramel, with extra cinnamon-ny goodness blended in. This blend if not for the faint of heart, but will definitely wake you up something fierce on cold mornings. Sweeten this tea with a bit of milk and sugar, and it’s absolutely divine.

thanks again VariaTEA as these have been fun to try. this might be my favourite of the lot so far, except that there’s a bitterness in this one that i dislike. it also leaves me mouth feeling super dry. heh. BUT all that aside, this is a nice enough chai like sort of tea with just a hint of something sweet running through it. apparently that’s caramel but i am just not finding that..just “sweet” to me.
Sipdown (157/163)!
Out of all the Firefly teas Zoe’s blend is the one I am/was most terrified of. I took a sniff of the dry leaf when I first got it and immediately scrunched my nose right before having a sneezing fit. It smells like solid ginger – and that makes me really uncomfortable because fuck ginger, that’s why.
But I’m gonna have to get this over with eventually so we’re finishing this one off sooner rather than later. As predicted, I don’t much like it; it tastes pretty solidly like ginger to me and I’m finding it rather bitter to. However, the caramel and the cloves are small redeeming factors in this blend so I wont be as harsh and critical as I would like to be. It is drinkable; but barely.
Also, I can’t deny that this is a really good match for the character so there’s that. Like, if any of the characters were going to be “spice heavy” it’d be Zoe. Personally, I didn’t like her at first but she grew on me. She is a fiery, strong willed and independent woman and who can’t respect that? Plus the dynamic between her and Wash is so perfect, and cute.
Goodbye Zoe; I’d definitely not seek you out again but I can see why others would love you!
Flavors: Bitter, Caramel, Clove, Ginger
This is a sample sipdown! Another one from Cavocorax :)
I have to go count my number because it’s gone down a bit lately.
I admit I almost forced myself to brew this one because I’m still watching Firefly, I only have like 4 episodes left :( so I felt like continuing to drink my way through the Firefly crew!
Honestly, I was not expecting anything good, after the last one. I haven’t been overly impressed thus far with my Adagio trials.
After the spicy Inara tea, I was left curious as to whether or not I would consider myself a chai fan, it’s not really something I seek out, ever.
So this one.
I’m impressed. The addition of the caramel makes for a real smooth, sweet chai blend!
I added milk and it’s like drinking a spicy, creamy dessert.
I’d actually consider buying this one, assuming I ran into more teas I’d want!
Thanks again Cavo!
PS – Christina Hendricks?!
Now that you’ve been watching Firefly, what do you think of it?
I think it’s awesome!! I love it. I was not expecting it to be so good, and I thought it would be way more cartoony/cheesy than it is
I’m watching episode eight now, and right now I’ve tried Inara (didn’t like), Kaylee (liked), and Simon (unsure; I’d want to have it again). No new one tonight though; I’m super sick so don’t want to waste a cup on a poor pallet. I’m scared to try Zoe though; it smells so gingery! How much did you pick up on the ginger?
Another one from VariaTEA! I’m just working my way through the whole crew. Hahaha. (203, lalalala, Sil, I can’t hear you!)
I really like this one! I’m not sure why that is either because it’s really just a regular chai with added cinnamon, but perhaps that’s all I need? I love the mix of fierce chai toned down with sweet sweet cinnamon. Zoe’s fierce, but she has heart. :)
Thx!
Go, go, go! You can do it, Sil! :P
