Solid blend. I am surprised actually as I was expecting some sort of false generic tasting chai blend with a gaddawful abundance of cinnamon, but it turns out that it is truly lovely.
Steeped up—nice. Hints of cherry and chocolate and coconut and a bit of gingery spice in a smooth black base. Slight catch in the throat at the back of the sip as you would expect from the ginger.
The second steep is also more of the same deliciousness, just a bit weaker.
The dry leaf is very chai-like, a bit tinier bits of spice and such than what I am used to. The black leaf is plentiful, thankfully, and then that is interspersed with what appears to be shredded coconut, spice, and possibly cocoa nibs. But who knows, really, as there is no ingredient list, as per usual for HI blends. Thankfully, I am not allergic to anything that I am aware of, but people who are might want to avoid HI in general.
Oh yeah, and Canadians might want to avoid HI teas too as I was charged in US funds by a company that is based in my city here in Canada. So yeah. Never again.
Too bad. This is a nice one.

Ugh. They didn’t warn you? uncool
Yes, I had posted about this previously and I will continue posting about this every time I drink these teas until I sip them all down. I had ordered the 12 Christmas teas last December. I guess I subconsciously didn’t want to be reminding of the smarminess of the transaction, so I haven’t been drinking or looking at them much. Now they are on my sip down agenda. Because new year, new teas—heh.
I think I remember now. Sipdown races can be fun though :P
And perfect weather for it too. Totally tea weather. And fleece. And flannel.
hehe yep. and its a white holiday season!
Another reason why HI sucks ass
