Many thanks to Sil for the super generous sample of this one.
I saw this one in Sil’s cupboard and though I usually go for straight blacks, this really jumped out at me. I’m a sucker for anything citrus-y and combined with vanilla it seemed like something I had to try.
Opening up the sample I can tell I’m going to enjoy this. There are big hunks of spice and orange peel which I always appreciate. And it smells just delightful. Brewed a bit strong at 4.5 minutes and added a bit of vanilla soy milk as I usually do with my chai (and chai-esque) blends. The citrus is a bit lost on me, but I’m fine with that. It’s really delightful as-is, very buttery and creamy with a nice amount of cinnamon and spice. It tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie. So much so that I decided I needed to make some ASAP. And with a quick Google I stumbled upon this recipe http://www.theppk.com/2012/09/chaispicesnickerdoodles/ How perfect! Can’t wait to have them side-by-side with this tea.
