1 Tasting Note

91

I’ve spent a long time looking a for a Masala Chai that is strong enough to hold up the vigor of sweetened milk, foam or the odd touch of caramel.

Having tried all the major brands, I came away thoroughly disappointed. Cinnamon or cardamon dominated all of them. Then by chance I stumbled across this fantastic blend. I was a little skeptical at first but as I looked at the outstanding reviews I decided to be bold and order 2 packs. Since then I’ve been in love with this tea. No other blend I’ve tried can hold the flavour of the spices in such a delicate balance and still maintain such a robust flavour. It can withstand milk, sugar and foam, all of which tend to mute the intensity of blends like this.

The only complaint I have is that it does require a pretty long steeping time to really achieve the heights of its flavour.

Flavors: Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove
