drank Chocolate Chai by Teavana
249 tasting notes

Another disappointment from Teavana. It has an absolutely lovely aroma, reminiscent of a Mexican hot chocolate but softer. Very little actual chocolate taste is present, though, and shows up more as a dry mouthfeel and a hint of sourness. The spice is dominant and rather bitter, with more of what I’m beginning to feel is a Teavana trademark “red hots” taste. It’s also oddly weakly flavored, in spite of using plenty of the tea. Truthfully, if it weren’t for the nice fragrance from it, I’d rate it lower. (Drank it with a small spoon of crystal sugar and a splash of milk, definitely both needed.)

Flavors: Chocolate, Cinnamon

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
