Saigon Chai (Organic)

I found it to be weak in flavor, just a hint of cinnamon and cloves is all I really taste. I may have added a little bit too much milk (this may be one black tea that is better without milk!) so next time I’ll just steep for a long time and not add anything. I will readjust my rating on my next steep after I see how it goes.

Bagged

I needed a touch more tea. Nicely spicy and warm.

I’m shocked that I enjoyed this as much as I did – a nice surprise. I may even buy some of this. A pleasant all around flavor, enjoyable on just about any type of a day.

Finishing this off. I got a bunch of this free during their chai promotion. I would have preferred pumpkin chai but that wasn’t allowed so I thought I would try this one. It’s okay but not great. It will help warm you up on a cold winter day or clear out your sinuses. But I’ll be honest my favourite is still pumpkin chai followed by S’mores chai.

I went in for the tea press/free tin deal at my local store last night and they had barely any tins to choose from, so I ended up with this one. The ingredients seemed nice? A creamy spicy chai? Nope. I’d recommend this to someone who doesn’t really like chai, since it’s a bit nondescript. It’s okay. I’m a chai fan so it’s so…..unspectacular. I should have just grabbed a second tin of Just Peachy. Sigh.

Boy do I miss my Teavana Maharaj chai. No chai has satisfied me since and this Saigon chai is no different. I like my chai to be strong, to have a nice bite to it. Alas, teavana shit up shop here in Canada and I didn’t know until it was too late.

This Saigon chai is weak. Pathetically week. No amount of tea made it strong emough. I’m so disappointed. I am ready to pay the outrageous exchange and shipping to get my beloved Maharsj chai from the US.

Trying to force down the Saigon as I type this and I can tell it’s going to end up down the sink. I’m not s fan of David’s tea but had higher hopes for this.

Decided to try this since I started like chai tea lattes. I’m not usually a big fan of chai but some of them are okay. This one is quite nice with a little bit of milk and sugar in it. I taste the cinnamon, ginger first and the other spices secondly. It’s not too spicy, which I appreciate. It’s a nice tea to enjoy once in a while – and especially on a cold day spent indoors!

Not my favorite chai, but it isn’t bad. The chai flavor isn’t incredibly strong, but I do like the unique peppery aspect.

Day 7 of David’s Tea’s 24 Days of Tea 2017

This was another of the 24 Days of Tea from David’s. It certainly looked like a good spicy chai. There were whole cloves in the leaf and some bright read teeny berries. Very pretty. I had no problem with it. I am not going to rate it though, since my flu has completely blocked my nose and I tasted nothing. On the plus side, I did not taste bitterness or sourness. When your throat is this dry and sore from coughing, a nice warm liquid feels good.

Just to be whiney, I am so tired of being sick. In fact, I’m just tired. If I take a slightly deeper than normal breath I cough. My ribs actually ache from it. The doctor told me if I didn’t feel significantly better by Sunday I should call. Dang it. I don’t feel better. But it’s only Friday. maybe tomorrow is the day I turn the corner. Meanwhile, off to sit in my chair and stare blankly at the TV.
