The smell whilst cooking/brewing followed by the taste once ready takes me back to my travels around India!..delicious!!... it just needs a Chai Wallah, with his big kettle to come marching through my kitchen exclaiming.."Chai Chai Chaiiiiiiiiiiii"
I love chai tea so when I saw this I was excited to try it. It was good but not great. It had a strong licorice taste which made it unbalanced.
We're sorry to hear this wasn't one of your favourite blends! The nature of this mix does mean that there can sometimes be more elements of some spices compared to others in the blend - thanks for your feedback!
