’Here’s Hoping’ Teabox Round #4 – Tea #6
I’m not sure what makes this a holiday tea but at first it seemed to have a cantaloupe flavor (not sure if that was intentional or just the imagination of my tastebuds.) Otherwise, this is a decent chai blend that uses that really sweet cinnamon I revisited the other day when I steeped up Harney’s Hot Cinnamon Sunset. I love that type of cinnamon! The black tea itself is a medium strength. I almost didn’t try this because of the peppermint, rosehips and hibiscus listed in the ingredients but thankfully none of those really showed up in the flavor, at least in my teaspoon. This was a great tea, especially with the unusual use of the sweet cinnamon. I don’t think enough chai blends use that. Tasty steeped twice.
