This is one tasty chai. The blend of spices leans to the warm flavors and aroma of ginger and cloves, rather than to the cinnamon and cardamom sweetness which is present but not dominant. The Ceylon Sonata black tea which is the base, is a wonderful Kenilworth Estate tea that has citrus and spice notes that shine through and make for a medium body and balanced brew.
I have tried this hot, cold, alone and mixed with Almond Milk-with and without sweeteners. I have yet to find anyway that it is not enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I'm surprised you're the first one to review this; it hasn't been on my radar but now I'm curious to try it. It's funny, because I've ordered from Adagio and also at World Tea East last year and the year before, they gave me a ton of samples, but somehow this one eluded me.
It is also one of the more inexpensive teas from Adagio, which would be a big plus if I turned out to like it!

I would be happy to send you some. I always seem to have some on hand. I think I received a sampler of chai's with a recent order... :)
