Got a tin of these bags yesterday when stopping for my monthly chai tea latte. Tried it tonight with hot water steeped 2 bags for 4 minutes and a splash of vanilla creamer. Had no time to run to the store today for milk and forgot on the way home. This tastes quite a bit different from the concentrate. The concentrate they serve seems to have more of a cinnamon and cardamon kick to it whereas these bags I’m really getting anise flavor as the foremost flavor with hints of the others. I really hated the first sip, but a few more sips into it it has mellowed out a bit. I like the amount of spice in this, but would prefer a different kind of spice. I’m curious to try this with some steamed milk. Maybe the next cuppa.

2nd steep turned out much more how I like my chai. Still gives a spicy tingle to the back of my mouth. Love the way the spices mesh together after a second steep, it’s really quite beautiful. I think Chai is my favorite dessert tea. Love it in the afternoon and evening. Now just to find a decaf/herbal or green blend so I can enjoy it on evenings when I actually want to get to sleep at a decent hour. It’s giving me the lift I needed tonight though.
