Its OK"While this was a nice enough cup of tea, it did not strike me as an excellent chai simply because the spices were too muted for my taste."

300.jpgThe Tavalon website describes this chai as "A seductively flavorful blend of Indian black tea, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla bean". I absolutely LOVE the aroma of a spicy chai, so I immediately opened my sample to take in a deep breath. While the dry leaf is quite attractive, with whole cardamom pods and fairly large pieces of all the other ingredients, the aroma was not nearly as hearty as I was expecting. I brewed this tea as I normally do loose leaf chai and noticed that the aroma did not become any stronger while brewing. As I do with all chai blends, I added turbinado sugar and cream. While this was a nice enough cup of tea, it did not strike me as an excellent chai simply because the spices were too muted for my taste. I would have appreciated quite a bit more from the cinnamon and clove and possibly a bit more ginger.

I enjoyed this tea, and would most certainly be happy to have another cup if the opportunity presented itself. I won't be purchasing more of this one for myself, simply because I personally prefer a much stronger spice presense in chai. I would however, recommend this for anyone who enjoys a less intense chai experience. It would probably also be a nice change for those who enjoy black teas and are looking to try something with a slight extra kick.
