A creamy chai, light bodied yet with a slight tannic kick.
Sample at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival...I've taken very long to post my reviews.
This was the first tea I sampled from Chai Diaries, and it impressed me and made me eager to try more from this new company. The vanilla is just enough to impart a creamy character, without screaming "vanilla chai". Although I see no nutmeg listed, the smell strongly suggests nutmeg. Brews a surprisingly light color cup, but has a tannic edge which I found pleasant.
I thought the price was reasonable, but it's still a notch pricier than Rishi Tea's Masala Chai, which I think is hard to compete with--I still like Rishi's blend better so I'd be unlikely to buy this one.
