Review of Bombay Chai

This tea brews a light amber color, much lighter than I had expected. Spice dominates the aroma...mostly fennel and cinnamon, with some clove and other spices. There is a much weaker black tea presence. The aftertaste suggests tarragon; this tea leaves a clean and tingly sensation in the mouth.
People who like spiced teas with a weaker tea presence might enjoy this one, but I would have prefered more black tea and less spice.
I also found this to be expensive. There's some complexity to it but it's just not strong enough for me.
