I love how the second steep just makes the brew much creamier, while still keeping the coconut flavor prominent.

At the end of the week, this tea is a divine dessert.

With Mayer Hawthorne’s cover of Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas time is here” playing, this seems to be perfect right now for a holiday tea.

Lightly spiced with citrus, almonds and pistachio, its slowly easing me into the Christmas spirit I barely have right now.

I am now starting to double the tea leaves from chai teas.

The result from this tea? Heavenly. Because of the thicker brew, again, the rock sugar seems to embody instead of fall to the bottom of the cup, giving the tea a much sweeter, creamier flavor.

Doubling the tea leaves from 1 teaspoon to 2 allows for a thicker brew, which in turn allows the rock sugar to stay throughout the body and not fall to the bottom of the cup.

It also gives it a much fuller flavor, not so much spicier as it is a richer woody oolong taste entwined with the spices.

More tea = better experience

I think I am getting to a point where the flavor is reaching an almost buttery texture, similar to Teavana’s Almond Biscotti.

The black tea and almond still harmonize, but the taste is now getting comfortably creamy.

I wish it could taste like biting into a cookie, as the almond biscotti always does, but this is as close as I’m going to get for now.

The citrus and nutty flavors really suit the end of this Wednesday.

With a mild spice and creamy texture, this is a great way to close out today.

Finally received my second order of this scrumptious tea, doubled the amount I ordered the first time.

This tea is just heaven in colder weather, snow and rain during the early winter season. The coconut is especially prolific in both steeps, giving me thoughts of tropical weather, if it so should suddenly come around and bump this ugly wet winter weather away.

This sweet and spicy chai blend continues to bring great joy with each sip, not only invigorating the body with energy, but also the soul.

Still berry fruity and berry refreshing, this green tea is a nice way to come down from a relatively long Tuesday.

And just as Shaktea’s signature organic chai is one of the best chai teas I’ve ever steeped, their coconut cream chai just takes that one step further.

It is less spicy, more delicious cream and coconut. The creamy flavor really adds that extra dimension to an already dreamy chai, with the accenting coconut to top it off.

You can literally curl up into this tea and escape a snowy or rainy or any cold day, or night.
