Review of New England Holiday Chai with Vanilla

A special holiday season release from Upton. Now here is a new concept - a "New England Chai." This has a mellow black tea base and is spruced up with vanilla and other spices - I could make out some cardomom and what I thought was allspice but appears to be clove. It is pleasantly spicy and has a nice aroma, but Upton slapped a premium price tag on this one for some reason, so I can't say it is a good bargain.

If Upton wanted to make a real "New England Chai" they'd add maple. :-) I'm only partly kidding; Murchies really does sell a maple-chai black tea that I found to be surprisingly rich and delicious for such a seemingly odd combination. Of course, they're Canadian, so that makes sense.
