Alright, finally some good tea! We went to my in-laws for (supposedly) one night so I didn’t bring any of my tea stuff. They usually have pretty decent bagged teas for me to work with, so I didn’t want to risk breaking my teapot by transporting it for such a short trip. Well, we ended up staying an extra night and I was dying for some really good tea!
I’m having an interesting combination this morning. I’m finishing up the last of my Mayan Chocolate Chai (which looks extremely cayenne rich…) with a mix of Adagio’s Caramel and a bit of Yunnan Silver Tip Choice. Overall, this mixture tastes very good. The MCC delivers on the spice and chocolate added to a caramel kick and a malty chewiness. But, Wow, is this last bit of MCC spicy!
I don’t think I would repurchase this Mayan Chocolate Chai, but I would be interested in the Chai with Chocolate, since the cayenne is the only part of this tea that is a bit overwhelming for me.

LOVE mixing this w/ caramel:) I’m still on my caffeine buzz from 2 hours ago! lol.
The caffeine isn’t hitting me as hard as the cayenne! Woo, I’m breathing fire. But it burns SO good!
HAHA! Well I had a total of 2TB of leaf (only 1 was MCC). Ya know I think we are the only 2 people I’ve seen rate a tea in the 90s and not want to rebuy it. lol.
LOL. At one point I thought I would rebuy almost any tea that I rated 90+, but then I would forever be buying more tea. Right now I just feel like there are so many other teas I want to try before starting to rebuy old favorites.
The bottom of my bag of Mayan Choc. Chai was loaded w/cayenne too. In fact, one of my bags was level-10 hot. And then a second bag not so much. Maybe the cayenne isn’t distributed evenly? I bet this was good w/the caramel. I usually have this one w/a chocolate flavored low-fat cream.
Lori, I always shake my MCC before portioning it out. Then when I can see it’s getting quite loaded w/ cayenne, I start a new bag and add the contents of the old one when there’s enough room in the new one.
