Murchie’s had this out as a self-serve sample today, along with the Oolong Magnolia, when I went to go pick up a Tiramisu cake for get-together. Why don’t I go to Murchie’s more often? Their desserts are delicious and the teas aren’t bad either.
I thought this was going to be nasty when I read the name but it turned out to be quite pleasant. The berry flavour reminded me of the soft fruitiness found in jam. Very smooth and dessert-like, particularly with the vanilla and cinnamon- not spicy or hot like what I think of chai, but “spiced”. I could see this being an item at a children’s “tea party” if that makes sense. I didn’t get a very good overall impression but it was enough to intrigue me!
I hate it when that happens! adding milk when you don’t realize it will kill all the flavour :(
Totally! Especially when it comes to chai’s! I don’t usually add milk otherwise.
I add it to my Indian black teas and chai. not all the flavoured ones tho!
If I hadn’t read “chai” on the label first I wouldn’t have assumed this to be one- it was muted anyways!
Yeah I wish it were more of a chai – I wouldn’t have bought 2 oz had I known how mellow it is. :P
