“2020 Advent Calendar from The Tea Girl – Day 5 Day 5 – first chai! I love chai, especially if prepared stove top, but normally the caffeine gets me with them as it’s normally a finer black tea....” Read full tasting note
Spice it up with Tanzanian black tea blended with chai spices with additional cocoa pieces and chili flakes & chocolate flavour. Strong ginger and chili bring the heat while the cocoa and chocolate flavours adds just a hint of sweetness.
This is a new blend of Cocoa Chili Chai which will replace the old one. This blend has a new tea base from Luponde tea estate from Tanzania, with round malty notes, and in a CTC cut which brews quick and dark. The spices are fresh so flavours are crisp and strong with heat from both the ginger and chili flakes. It is very nice to add milk and sugar to, and if you are feeling extravagant, you can also mix in hot chocolate powder.
Ingredients: black tea, cocoa pieces, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, star anise, cloves, chili, pepper, safflowers & flavour.

2020 Advent Calendar from The Tea Girl – Day 5
Day 5 – first chai! I love chai, especially if prepared stove top, but normally the caffeine gets me with them as it’s normally a finer black tea. This one was no exception on the caffeine front lol so I didn’t quite finish my massive mug of it. But as for flavor – this was pretty good! It reminded me of a mix of Stormy Night by DT (probably the star anise and chocolate) and a chai I had from Verdant back in the day. I found it to be a soothing chocolate and not a fake chocolate, which was good! The black base was great, robust! I would definitely like to make this one stove top and add some milk and a touch of honey – bet it would really shine! I would like the ginger and chili to be a touch stronger too, as I love spicy teas!
Overall a very tasty chai! Will definitely finish off my sample, and as it is a local company may end up reordering! Enjoyable, I just have to watch the caffeine in it haha.
