From DAVIDsTEA

A warm welcome
This exotic, energizing chai uses guayusa from the Amazonia region of Ecuador, spiced up with cinnamon, ginger, peppercorns and spices. Guayusa is a big part of daily life in Ecuador. Every day, indigenous families wake up at 3am to sit around the fire, sipping guayusa from gourds until the sun comes up and chatting about everything from hunting techniques to ancestral myths. You don’t have to get up that early to enjoy it, but trust us – this spicy chai is sure to wake you up and warm the soul.

Ingredients: Organic: guayusa, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, fennel, black pepper, pink peppercorns, stevia.

It tastes like grass and pepper. If you like grass and pepper, you’ll like this tea.

In all seriousness, I’m actually happy that this one is discontinued. Blegh!

not really getting much of anything from this one.
it smells pretty earthy, i’m guessing that’s the guayusa, but taste-wise nothing really comes through except a tiny bit of the fennel.
looks pretty as a dry tea! can’t really say much else though.

Just found a sample of this tea, and decided I’d give it a go. It was my first experience with guayusa and it was wonderful!! The color of the liquid was dark brown. The nose is mildly sweet and spicy, and the taste is earthy and herbal, but not heavy. There’s lots of ingredients in this tea, and they blend together perfectly. So sad that DavidsTea discontinued it! But, at least they have other Guayusa blends. Looking forward to trying some of those.

Today is a sad, sad day for Owlie. She re-found this little sample in her tea cupboard, with no idea where it came from. Intrigued, she pulled it out and saw “CHAI” jump out at her in bold black letters. Thrilled, she put the kettle on.
Steeped…

And died a little inside because no chai should ever be like this. No she decided, this was NOT a chai at all, not a true spicy delicious, creamy-with-milk confection of cinnamon and clovey complex goodness but some abomination of a green concoction with pepper tossed it at whim to appease the tea gods need for a sacrifice of spice. The stevia, she decided with a grimace, was a heavy-handed and whole-hearted mistake. “This tea,” she proclaimed, "would possibly have been far more enjoyable had it not been stamped with the misleading moniker of CHAI. Otherwise I would not feel so horribly deceived by the actual tea.

First time trying DAVIDsTEA and this is the tea I went with to try. Love this Chai. I am not usually a chai person but the mixture of peppercorn, ginger and cinnamon is great. Its a nice way to wake up in the morning.

The combination of spices and guayusa is great. I love the smell and the taste (with a touch of agave added), and the energy I get from the guayusa is really nice.

I need to try more guayusa blends.

I don’t normally like chai teas, but this one is just faintly spicy when it’s iced. I’m not sure if it really gave me an energy boost or not…
