Another Ette sample kindly sent by Dustin

This one sounded really interesting from the description but in terms of flavor I don’t taste any of the chili. Without the chili it tastes like a dessert tea not like a savory one. It’s SO Good! The genmaicha hojicha base give it a nice and toasty flavor. The coconut is really yummy and possibly the Pandan make it taste like custard. I get Coconut Custard from this one and would definitely buy some more of this one.

This was a tea that was accidentally sent instead of the caffeine-free one that my mom ordered. Since she doesn’t drink caffeinated teas she gave it to me. It’s a 4oz bag so I have quite a bit of it. This tea came from Beantown Tea but it looks VERY similar to this Metropolitan Chai so I decided to just review it here.
I drank this cup with soymilk. The spices tickle your throat a bit and linger, The powdered ginger is the main flavor throughout the cup. I think next time I’d add a bit of maple syrup but the soymilk helped tone down the ginger. There were a lot of powdered spices in my teaspoon for this cup so the bottom of the mug is quite powdery. It’s not really what I look for in a chai typically but would probably be really good as a latte (with frothed milk)
