Had this prepared as a drink in DavidsTea today. :) Definitely glad I tried it in store and didn’t bring any home, because while it was enjoyable enough to drink the cup it’s not anything I feel the need for at home.
It doesn’t really taste like a chai, it just tastes like cinnamon tea. Very good cinnamon tea mind you, but it wasn’t what I wanted. If in the future I feel a hankering for cinnamon tea, this is what I’ll get.
No steep or temp information, ’cause I have no idea. xD
Hello! I’m a 24 year old Canadian, currently working at Starbucks while I figure out what I want to do with myself in life, haha.
Like most everyone else, I grew up with teabags, and then discovered the grass really WAS greener on the other side with loose leaf. Nowadays I drink nearly exclusively loose, but will drink a bagged tea if I don’t care what I’m having.
My favorite kind of tea is black, and unflavored, although I do enjoy an occasional dessert black. I like whites second best. I’ve recently been dipping my toes into honeybush tisanes, greens and oolongs.
My favorite vendors are Butiki Teas and Verdant Teas. Both have fantastic teas, above and beyond customer service (especially Butiki), and fair prices for their very high quality teas. I can’t recommend them enough.
Purely for tasting notes references, I don’t use any additives for my teas. Older tasting notes for blacks was with milk+sugar, and then with just milk. Whites, oolongs, greens and herbals are all drunk straight unless otherwise specified in the notes.
