Really enjoying this one as a latte! I’m so glad I got the sampler box because I’m trying some new things! It’s more of a cinnamon tea blend than anything chai related based on what I’m tasting but as a latte it tastes like a cinnamonroll. YUM!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Sweet, Vanilla
Sample from a TTB. I taste some cinnamon, but it’s a pretty average chai. It’s still enjoyable despite being nothing special. Ha this is a tea to share with guests since they’ll be getting a good cup of tea, but then I’m not giving away any of the good stuff. It’s hearty enough with some sugar and milk, really not a bad choice.

D is for… David’s Chai!
This tea tasted very much like a classic chai with anise/star anise as well as the usual chai-y flavours (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger). The base was nice enough to drink it straight, which I discovered unintentionally by forgetting to add milk. I liked this tea well enough but the flavour profile is not unique and I expect that equally satisfying chai can be found for much cheaper. Rating reflects value and lack of uniqueness, but this tea is nice and would probably make a fantastic chai latte.
D is for… David’s Chai (Ode to Tea)
This is such a classic chai blend from David’s Tea. Love to make this one as a hot latte. Doesn’t need any sweetener added and is the perfect cup of warmth.
Flavors: Anise, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger
So, this one has been in my cupboard for a bit now, and I think I should start focusing my tea drinking on those older teas.
When I worked at DT, my one coworker said this one was the closest to the tradition India chai that her and her family drank as she was growing up.
I really do love this tea. It’s strong and bold and has lots of flavour. But the one thing I could do without is the star anise. I’m not a huge fan of that licorice background taste. But I will drink this one up as I do enjoy it otherwise. I think when this one is done, I’m going to revisit the Saigon Chai though, as I use to be in love with that tea and I’m curious if I still am.

This is fine. It’s a bit more anise than I’d like but still a tolerable amount. The mix of spices is also alright and balanced/not muddy. Honestly though, if I am having a chai latte, it will be the Chaiwala one…or some flavored variety like DAVIDsTEA’s Pumpkin Chai. So this is rather middle of the road for me, which makes it one that is probably forgettable and one I likely won’t be getting again.
