Sipdown! (41 | 356)
Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a tea with chaga in it. But mostly I taste the roasty chicory along with cocoa and cinnamon, so either it has a very mild flavor or there’s not enough for me to notice it. There is a certain earthy quality in the background, but that’s probably the chicory as well.
It’s a nice chocolaty herbal with a touch of cinnamon. The first time I tried it, I steeped it for 5 minute and I noticed quite a bit of bitterness, I assume from the chicory. But as long as I keep the steep shorter, around 3 minutes, there’s barely a hint of a bitter note.
I like it, but not sure if I love it enough to warrant ordering a larger pouch. We’ll see if I find myself wanting a chocolaty cuppa in the evenings this fall and winter.
