Commercial Description
Like all black teas, the base of our chai is from Sri Lanka, but oh baby! its just gets better from there. Throw in a hint of ginger, a less-than-subtle hint of cinnamon and shovel of cardamom...

To me, this didn't taste like a normal chai. I found the tea a little weak for my liking, without much flavor. It did have a strong scent, but not very spicy like I would expect. Its smell was more reminiscent of potpourri my parents left out at their house when I was younger. The price was pretty reasonable. Overall, I didn't think the tea was bad, but it wasn't one of my favorites.

This was a somewhat unusual and different-tasting chai. I don't think I like it quite as much as my favorite blends, or as the chai that I mix up myself, but it was still pretty good.
The aroma is strongly suggestive of nutmeg, which is odd because the ingredient list doesn't contain nutmeg. The base tea seems a little on the weak side, and doesn't have a strong presence. I recommend a longer steeping time; nourishtea recommends 4-5 minutes and I think that's good advice.
There's a hint of fruitiness that tastes just slightly artificial...I'm not quite sure what this comes from but it gave it a slight off quality.
Flavor is pretty typical for chai, moderate bitterness, some astringency.
Reasonable at the list price, but on sale for $5, I thought it was a steal for fair-trade, organic certified tea of this quality.
