I was impressed to see real pear bits in the ingredient list. Most fruit teas just have some mysterious ‘flavouring’ and leave it at that. The tea is nice and smooth and I love the hint of pear which is just strong enough to make itself known without overwhelming the tea.

This makes a light, delicate brew. The hint of apricot in the flavour was nice, although it smelled a bit overwhelming when I first opened the tin.

Very cinnamon-y! The taste and smell remind me a bit of those cinnamon heart candies you get at Valentine’s Day. I prefer a chai with a bit more balanced spice flavours. Still it isn’t horrible, and it goes nicely with lots of milk.

I like this, it has a natural, almost fruity sweetness to it while still having a pleasent, mildly herbal taste and fragrance. BTW Honeybush isn’t rooibos despite a slight similarity in taste (though I find honeybush much smoother and less tart), they’re two completely unrelated species of plants.

Drank this with milk this morning and the milk takes off some of the sharper edges from the tea and citrus flavouring. Yum.

Still tastes good. I steeped it twice, although it was considerably weaker on the second steeping.

This one tastes a little weak and watery compared to the honeydew flavour. It does taste like actually peach juice has been added – I just think they could have added a little more.

The chicory root and the carob gave this a pleasent, almost coffee-ish scent when it was brewing. I couldn’t stop sniffing it!

It’s not the most flavourful chai, but it’s still good for something that’s a generic grocery store brand. You can definitely taste the cinnamon in it, although the chocolate is just the barest hint. I’ll try the next cup with milk like a real chai and see if that changes anything.
