Product Rating (2):
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.
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"
Great to hear that our Chai Tea blend took you right back to India - we hope it brings back lots of happy memories of your travels!
