Another new-to-me tea from my Chai Box order.
This one intrigued me with the combination of orange and cardamom. I’m quite surprised by how strong of an orange flavor there is, especially since there’s no flavoring listed in the ingredients. I find it a bit difficult to believe that it’s just from orange peel, but maybe the hibiscus is giving it a boost? Regardless, I really like the combination of sweet orange with a bit of tart hibiscus and the floral spice of the cardamom. It tastes just as good as I imagined, which is rare if I’m honest, ha ha.
The only downside is that because hibiscus is quite high in the ingredients list, I assume this one would not handle milk well. It sounds like, from the description, that it’s meant to be enjoyed as an iced tea, but I don’t ever drink iced tea. So I’ll be enjoying it hot!
Flavors: Cardamom, Hibiscus, Orange, Smooth, Sweet, Tart
Sounds like a winning combination!
Definitely, and I’m sure it would be amazing iced. I’m just glad it lived up to my expectations! :P
