If you are expecting a spicy chai you will be disappointed. I have had this tea in the past however and find it a nice smooth flavored black tea.
I also enjoy this tea with a bit of honey and milk as it's flavor is strong enough to stand up to that without being lost.

This kind of tea isn't quite my "cup of tea" - but I think your notes describe very well what it tastes like.
There are no doubt many others who - after reading this well written post - will want to try it. The pics are informative too, thank you!
Thank you Jackie! I am trying my hardest to describe the teas in such a way even people who don't share my taste can get an idea of if they would enjoy the tea. I am glad to know it's working.
