Odd, I was sure I rated this one before but it’s not showing up. Steepster’s eating my notes again!
I made this at the end of the day yesterday, my second time having it.
I reached the conclusion that it’s not a favourite of mine, though I do appreciate the chance to try it!
1) I guess I’m not much of a chai fan, but when I drink chai (albeit rarely), I want the strong black tea base so I can add milk and really make it a dessert. This is an herbal.
2) I am starting to realize that the only herbal teas I truly care for (aside from cacao obviously) are the fruity ones that I make iced tea with in the summer. Not so much to drink on a regular basis.
3) Something about this seemed kind of metallic, it left a weird taste in my mouth and slightly numbed my tongue. Maybe the ginger, but I really enjoy ginger and I’ve never noticed that happen before.
4) something about the smell of the tea was offputting to me… every time I took a sip I caught a whiff of this sort of sour note.
5) I didn’t really get any coconut from this!
It’s not a bad tea, I just think it’s not for me. But drinking it twice helped me redefine my tea tastes, so I can’t complain about that!!
But surely you can see why I wouldn’t want this tea to be my 600th tasting note, even though I drank it yesterday, prior to the one I actually used for my 600th tasting note.
I have some left if anyone would like to try it :)
Thanks to Anlina for sending me this in the Secret Santa swap!
