My WPT package came in today and the first thing I did was open and smell EVERYTHING. I probably looked like a crazy person, huffing tea. I have a keen sense of smell and I swear I caught a buzz haha. After a moment’s deliberation this is the one I chose to try first.
It is smooth, smooth, silky smooth. It opens with notes of sweet vanilla and evergreen trees. There’s the gentle touch of warm spices, like a lover’s fingers on the back of your hand. It’s light and soothing; perfectly balanced. The texture of the liquid is velvety. After the spice I notice a buttery, honeyed flavor coming from the base tea. (I think the comparison to chocolate-filled croissants is appropriate here.) It’s like flaky, buttery croissants kissed by chocolate malt! It’s not an overwhelming flavor—it melds with everything else very nicely—but it washes over your tongue with honey, malt and baked goodness. Seriously, soooo good. I rushed to make another cup as soon as the first was empty. For me, resteep value is a good indicator of quality chai. (If the second steep of any tea doesn’t compare to the first, it seems a waste.)
Aaaand it’s still as good as the first cup! I’m in HEAVEN! Melting butter, stronger chocolate notes, vanilla and honey, spice still there! I love this! It’s wonderfully balanced. It’s everything I want, everything I need in a chai. This is perfection.
Brenden you are seriously awesome.

I leave for work in fifteen minutes, and I literally walked over to my housemate’s front door JUST to make her try this tea. She wasn’t there. So I made her husband try this tea.
And he liked it.
:D
Do you make yours with milk on the stove?
No. I drink my chai straight without milk.
I prefer it that way, unless it’s not that good..then I use the stovetop method and sweeten it a LOT.
Hahaha, I love those times where you just MUST share tea with someone :D
I always open and smell everything when I get a tea order! :D We’re huffers!
Me too! She missed out. (:
If you can’t try EVERYTHING in one day, might as well smell all of it, right? It’s all in the nose! Third steep STILL delicious, by the way. This is the best day ever.
Cries because mine isn’t here yet…
I cannot wait
Excellent review!
This sounds amazing…I join MzPriss for the cry of the century…
Right???? I NEEEEED it
(Mine isn’t here either – oh wait I didn’t order this one, but I did get the chocolate chai – does that count?)
totally counts
… And you know I’ll put some in your next box :-)
LOL of course you will – did I not JUST get a box from you with a bunch of WP samples….
Yes, but this one is a must,..I can feel it. (From afar at Customs)
Now I definitely have to try WP
:D
