Another surprisingly good Farmer Brothers offering, especially for a food-service-oriented tea line! This came in a foil-lined pouch, with a fresh, cinnamon/ginger-dominant dry aroma that got much more evenhanded between the spices once steeped.

The base tea is finely chopped, gets dark fast, and has a robust flavor. I suspect it is the same tea they use for their "Black Tea" product, which is a good thing. The spices aren't the strongest I've had in a bagged chai (that would be Trader Joe's, which I love), but they are very well-balanced between the ginger, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. One definitely could do worse than to grab some of this chai at whatever hotels, conference caterers, or restaurants use it.

The price seems a bit high for a food-service tea at retail $5.89 for a 25-ct box (just under a quarter a bag) from the online store, but is not too bad for a good-quality bagged chai overall.
