Joe’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "I am not a big fan of cinnamon and was glad to find while this is the predominant smell it is not an overpowering taste. Their website describes the blend as well balanced and I would concur. The flavor is smooth and creamy and not one flavor prevails."

8.5/10
Chantilly Virginia, the home of Golden Moon Tea, is far from the Himalayas. Founded in 1993 and offering 31 different teas, blends and tisanes, the company sells a Northern India specialty called Kashmiri Chai. Anyone even remotely interested in chai should give this a sip.To make this tea, Golden Moon combines both black and green teas with cardamom, clove, spice oil and cinnamon. The best way to describe the fragrance of this tea is - exhilarating. Close your eyes, breath in the aroma and travel to far away places that you may have only seen in films and on TV.

I like my chai with soymilk as I think it creates a new dimension called nuttiness. I would recommend steeping this tea for five minutes.
UPDATE: I just tried cream - even better than soymilk! It boosted my score by a half point. Be forewarned, using this blend to produce a second cup results in what I would call Chantilly Chai. The flavors are too diminished to be considered authentic Kashmiri Chai.
