This is a pretty nice mellow bagged chai. The spices aren’t so strong that I can’t taste the Assam black tea base. There’s nothing spicy-hot about this one. I can taste the Assam foremost, with the cinnamon and ginger providing some warm tastes and the fennel and cardamom giving a cool balance. Interestingly, there is a a moderate aftertaste and feel of orange zest, though there is none in the blend. Perhaps it’s from the tea leaf? It does leave a little bit of a rough texture on the tongue but otherwise I find this a respectable chai.
