Sipdown! (13 | 210)
Picked this one up on a whim, not sure why but the idea of a white chai just intrigues me. I’ve actually had a couple before, but they never quite lived up to my expectations.
This one is pleasant enough. Nice, large bai mudan leaves. Supposedly it has cardamom, but I didn’t see any pods or seeds in my sample. Taste is light but well-balanced, a mix of the earthy dried ginger with spice flavoring – cinnamon and clove being most prominent.
Enjoyed sipping through the sample. I’m not sure I would order it again, just because in general I prefer my chai to have actual spices and not spice flavoring. I may have to try mixing my own white chai one of these days… :)

Phoenix Herb Company had a good one with pink peppercorn called Josh’s Chai. It also had lemongrass, but it was not prominent and blended with the Baimudan. I also like non-black chais though.
