This really tastes like a masala chai more than any other herbal blend I've ever tried; I think someone could even fool me with it, perhaps until I noticed that it's less caffeinated. The color is a rich red, like most masala chai blends.

Aroma is mostly of clove but with significant cinnamon presence. It's so hard to tell where the spices end and the tulsi begins because I find tulsi on its own has a clove-like aroma with tones of cinnamon and other spices. This one is such a good idea; I found the aromas blend so seamlessly.

I don't really notice the rooibos but I imagine it is responsible for color, body, and the overall tea-like quality of this brew.

I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

I say this in Whole Foods yesterday, and passed on buying it until I saw your review. Now it is going on my shopping list for teas to try! Many thanks.

Wow, I had such a different impression of this tea than you did.
