Totally fine black chai, if not one of the best bagged chai I’ve had. On the stronger end.
Big clove aroma with cinnamon. Kind of brisk, malty and smokey with a woody dryness but the tea isn’t astringent. It does have an bitter undercurrent, though. Good balance between tea taste and spices with major notes of cardamom, clove and cinnamon, star anise to a lesser extent. I wonder if all that overrode the ginger (second ingredient) cuz I got nothing. No black pepper either besides maybe in warmth. How would it do simmered in milk? That’s what I wanna know but I don’t want to buy a box to find out.
