As you said, we are known to have real chai blends that people rave about how fresh they are. Sure enough we make each blend to order to ensure the freshness of the botanicals as we do not depend on artificial or “natural” flavorings to increase the taste. We make REAL chai and that is how real chai is supposed to be made.

I have to say that I am quite disappointed myself as the way TEAVIEWS handles the shipment of samples to all you who actually do the reviews.

The sample you are reviewing was sent to TEAVIEWS back in June 09, that is almost 4 months old…

Kukicha Chai is not meant to taste like a traditional Assam Masala Chai, for that we have our Original Masala Chai, which contains a larger amount of spices that go perfectly well with Assam.

Kukicha is much lighter.

Jessica Pezac from AuthoriTea.blogspot.com describe it as:

“It’s only slightly spicy, but you can taste the incredible combination of different chai spices. It tastes very fresh. That said, again, this tea is incredible. It tastes so fresh. I can’t wait to buy more!”

P.S. Katie, If you would like to give chai another chance, I will send you a sample of our Original Masala Chai. I promise you will not be disappointed
