I absolutely adore this stuff. Adore it. Tonight, I got it blended perfectly: no chunks of powder that didn’t get dissolved, just the right temperature. I really, really want to try some of the other flavors by this company. This is a vanilla, warm latte-like chai that’s DECAF!! Oh, yeah.

Ooooo, a decaf chai that tastes good! Exciting! Sometimes I really long for a bold flavor in the evening but can’t have it because of the caffeine.

It’s not terribly bold…I’m not a big fan of POW spicy chais. This one’s more soft and smooth. Want me to send you a smidge (oh, and totally forgot to tell you, but the Queen arrived safely and is awaiting her moment of glory)?

Sipdown, but I don’t get to count the number decrease because I forgot to put it into my Steepster cupboard…

Made this as a latte using another of those “single serve” packets; I expected this to taste basically like every other David Rio chai I’ve had from them – creamy, sweet, sugary, and tinted with vanilla. I was surprised though; this was actually quite a fair bit less over the top sweet and sugary as the other’s I’ve had! Also, though, it just felt like it was lacking body!? Which is a really hard thing for a tea to do in latte form, I find.

I don’t think it’s because this was a sugar free sample – I tried the Orca chai which is sugar free and I didn’t observe any issues with that one or weird flavour decrease. So, then, the only thing that it seems could be the cause is the fact that this chai flavour is also decaf? Which does make some sense – the process to decaffeinate tea usually does strip flavour from the leaf as well. I just sort of expected that David Rio would compensate for that by really pumping up the vanilla notes.

And you know what? I can’t decide if I’m disappointed or not that they didn’t…

This blend of David Rio’s chai is without sugar and caffeine and I can taste a big difference between this Flamingo Vanilla version and his original Tiger Spice Chai blend. A BIG difference. I don’t like this one near as much as the other (which earns a sold 100 from me, along with only one other tea). We bought this because my mother wanted to try my tiger chai but wanted one without the caffeine. Unfortunately for us, we cannot find the version of David Rio’s which is only caffeine free (which is called Giraffe Decaf Chai, in case you are interested), so we bought this one instead. It was a big disappointment for me because I have a long history with the Tiger Spice blend (it was the original chai tea blend from Borders back before they brought in Starbucks!)
I won’t be buying this one again, and neither will my mother, but I would try the Giraffe one.
