I go back and forth with Tazo’s chai, but I think this is my favorite right now. It’s spicy but thankfully doesn’t have a very strong anise flavor. I hate anything that tastes like licorice, so chai blends with lots of anise make me gag.
I brew this one for about five minutes and then drink it with lots of milk.
I think the key is not to steep this tea for too long. At 3.5 minutes the ginger is at just the right strength although I do wish that the peach flavour was stronger, although it’s still detectable. It does taste a bit on the astringent side today for some reason.
This is my last bag of this (it was part of a green tea sampler) but I’d buy this tea again.
Preparation
I got two steeps out of this tea, the first at 3.5 minutes and the second at 4.5 min. The second one was turned into a very refreshing iced tea, although I like it both hot and cold.
The ginger flavour is the dominent taste although it isn’t overwhelming and it has a nice undertone of juicy peach that takes the edge off of it. The flavour of the green tea itself is largely masked although it lends a sort of freshness to the tea.
I steeped this for less time than before (4 min) and now I can taste the green tea a little better.
looks at the ingredients list Apparently there’s also supposed to be lemongrass in here somewhere, although I can’t taste it.
Preparation
At first I didn’t like this because it got bitter very easily, but then I started steeping it for just less than two minutes and found it’s a perfectly good, tasty green tea. As long as you steep it carefully it’s fine. Lately this has become my everyday green tea.
