This tastes & smells exactly like another chai I’ve had but cannot remember which! My best guess is Teavana’s Masala Chai, which appears to have been discontinued. I know I first tried it in December 2009 and reordered once. It may have bit the dust when their Taj Masala Chai was introduced. Anyway, I’d be willing to bet it’s the same exact blend.
The ginger and cardamom are the prominent flavors in this. It’s refreshing to try a chai that isn’t laced with enough cinnamon to clear your sinuses. It does taste a tiiiiny bit “peppery” despite lacking actual pepper. Brewed extra strong it’s got quite a kick and really stands up to adding milk.
