Lightly smoky, like the base tea contains some Lapsang souchong...I initially notice the smoke more than the spice, but I also notice a lot of clove and ginger, and some cinnamon. I don't really notice the vanilla or cardamom--I always think you can add more cardamom as it's my favorite spice.

A very interesting twist on masala chai, the first and only smoky spiced tea I've had, and it works very well. If you like Lapsang Souchong or other smoky teas, and you like spiced tea, you will likely love this one.

I think I prefer un-smoky spiced teas, or smoky, un-spiced teas, but this was certainly worth trying.
