This chai is rich in flavor and bold in the spice department. The clove is very noticeable and verges on overpowering the other spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger). It has a very aromatherapeutic quality. All in all, I enjoyed this tea, but think that the spices could have been balanced with a more satisfyingly round ratio.
Preparation: steeped for 4.5 minutes at 206 degrees F.

I actually drank 2 14oz. mugga this yesterday. I was skeptical when I bought this, as it said “full leaf” on the package. When I opened the package and saw the mesh bags, I was relieved to see that to an extent, this was true. Most of the leaves within were broken, but not terribly shredded. The tea was dark than I expected, but tastes refreshingly light as a white tea should. I didn’t try for a resteep, but based on the size of the leaves, I think it’s reasonable to wager that these bags could handle at lease one. 4/5
This is pretty good.
For one thing, I love Revolution’s sachets – the teas are full leaf and there is always plenty of fruit and other ingredients in there.
This tea is very light and delicate. The hint of pear flavor is nice – I was worried it’d be too strong, as I don’t normally enjoy pear that much.
This fine oolong has a medium body with a cleansing finish. The peach and apricot in the blend provide a nice fruitiness to the tea, but it’s hard to pinpoint that is peach and apricot without reading the tea box. It’s mysterious in a way and I quite enjoy that. The safflower boosts the fruitiness while confusing the palate I think. Overall, I enjoyed this oolong and recommend it to whomever wants a soothingly original tea.
Preparation: steeped for 4 min. at 205 degrees.
