“Too much anise in this, and it’s broken up in to little pieces so not easily pulled out if it was in the star format. I love the vanilla and the other spices, but the anise is just too much for me.” Read full tasting note

A house made Chai blend made with organic Assam balanced with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, anise and peppercorns all with the sweet hint of vanilla. Enjoyed black or in a latte equally!
Recommended 6g per 8oz with a 5-7min steep time. Drinks well on its own, but will also take milk too.
Blenders Notes: Chai possibilities are endless, and can be as distinct as the area or blender who made them. I wanted to make a Chai I could drink without milk as well as steep a long time and make into a latte. I think this is it, the spice to tea ratio is at 50% so there is no lack of flavour. The tea is full leaf, so it can take a long steeping without over balanced astringency. I also love the hint of vanilla that rounds out the cup and supports the spice flavour.
Ingredients: organic assam, cinnamon, ginger, anise, cardamom, peppercorns, flavour.

Serving this chai as a latte as I usually do. The showdown for this blend is against Vanilla Chai from the Hugo Tea Company which is yet to be tasted.
Preparation: Western, Latte, Honey and Oatmilk
Tasting Note: The blend isn’t as strong as other chais I have had in the last two days (Azure from Chroma tea- has a really strong anise and black pepper taste and Calming tea and Sienna have more ginger). This has slight anise and black pepper notes with a slight after taste of cardamom. Outside the “Chai showdown”, I don’t think I would repurchase this again, it is very mild in the first place and I am not a big fan a black pepper in tea in any capacity I am finding out.
My rating is mostly due to personal preferences on black pepper, I think, so if you enjoy this note, this might be more enjoyable to you.
Flavors: Blackberry, Cardamom, Star Anise

V is for…Vanilla Chai
I am with Sil on this one that there is just too much anise for my tastes. I am still grateful for the chance to try it so thank you Sil for sharing!! In fairness, I had 4 of this company’s vanilla teas today and this is my first miss so all in all pretty successful!
2020 Advent Calendar from The Tea Girl – Day 14
Day 14 – almost caught up! I did have this tea a day late, as I got behind on the weekend haha! I also now realize I understeeped it – should have done 5 mins, I did 4 and it definitely could have handled more!
This tea was a smooth talking chai. Nice vanilla sweetness, nice spiced sweetness, nothing too out of this world or harsh. An easy drinking chai. Would love to try this stove-top with vanilla almond milk and honey next time, as that is my favorite way to make a chai!
I found it pleasant, but didn’t focus too much on the flavor (I was drinking it during a pretty intense workday, so my bad). Would maybe like a bit more pop, but that’s just me :D good tea overall! Might order more to play with it!
