It’s weird drinking a tea for the first and last time. I got this in my Element Tea order, just a cup’s worth in a little paper sachet. So I am trying to enjoy this but not love it: I mean I don’t want to make myself hate it, but I don’t want to love it so much I’m sad it is gone.
Well… sadly, I really like it! It’s a strong chai, my sample was a bit small so I brewed it two extra minutes and damn is it spicy! Lots of ginger and cardamom. In fact, there are more spices than actual tea (at least in the spoonful I have) which is a good sign… for me. It seems like a lot of people enjoy milder chais, but I like mine to be a kick in the face of spiced goodness which this definitely is. Alas, I shall never have it again! There are a LOT of chais out there though, so it’s not like this is some ridiculously unique blend, just a particularly tasty version of a classic.

I’m the exact opposite. I don’t like chai to be too spicy because I usually just drink it straight. I can see wanting more spice though if you’re putting in milk and sugar..
I drink them straight about 50% of the time, even (especially, actually) spicy ones. I just like heavily spiced thing—I always have to tone it down when I do holiday baking!

Yes! Kick in the Face Chai! That’s an awesome name for a chai blend. I like mine string too. :)
