15 Tasting Notes
As has been said this tea has a better aftertaste than actual taste. The lemon and mint are too overpowering and I can’t taste the cucumber at all. Even worse is the fact that I can definetly taste the paper in this tea, which I usually don’t find too prominent in other bagge teas. It’s not too bad, ill take a cup if its offere but I won’t be buying it anytime soon.
Preparation
This tea is very iffy for me. If I get all my preffered measurements right, then the tea tastes wonderful. Otherwise, if I steep it for 20 seconds too much or put a tiny bit too much leaf, then it’s not to my liking, but that’s probably just because i’m used to lighter teas like green teas. Overall it’s a very nice tea for when it’s cold out and you’re craving something a little heavier.
PS: After drinking this tea a few more times I’ve found that its absolutely wonderful with a dash of milk and some of the german rock sugar that Teavana sells. I usually don’t put any sugar let alone milk in my tea, but as this is a chai tea it worked out really well.
