1324 Tasting Notes
SIpdown Long overdue!
This is one of the oldest teas in my cupboard but finally finished it off today. I remember purchasing this and trying something completely new. I really struggled to drink this one I think it must be the flavoring the bothers me. Which is odd because a lot of people seem to like this one. I’m thinking that maybe this flavor combo just doesn’t work for me as a tea for some reason but until I try another Ginger Pear tea I won’t completely write this pairing off.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Fruity, Pear
I liked one of the other teas from this brand in the past so I bought a Dandelion tea bag sampler to try the rest of the flavors. This company makes coffee substitutes and is essentially an herbal coffee alternative. I made this one today and added a little oat milk to it. The spices in this tea are very weak and the sweetness overpowers them. I think this is my least favorite of the variety pack that I’ve tried so far. I would much rather drink a regular caffeinated chai or a good rooibos chai. This tea is very sweet from the dates and blackberry leaf in it. I think you could definitely find something better at a lower price. (I did enjoy the Tumeric and Caramel Nut ones I’ve tried so far though)
Flavors: Clove, Dandelion, Dates, Rooibos, Sweet
Preparation
Been making a cup of this in the morning for the past several days. I think this is a really nice boxed chai. The spices aren’t weak, unlike many teabag Chai teas. Most day’s I’ve been adding a little bit of pumpkin spice coffee creamer to it. I’ve just been trying to use it up and it’s a nice combo but this chai with just a little bit of milk is really good as well.
Flavors: Spices
