Alberta Street Chai from Townshend’s Tea


liber-teas
liber-teas

A unique and delicious chai that is certainly worthy of its name. This chai is different than many spiced chai teas because it does not have cardamom or ginger, and instead has nutmeg, which creates a distinctively different flavor. The rooibos aren’t really significant in the flavor – I can’t really detect much of the woodsy flavor it imparts, but I can’t say that this tea would be the same without it.

Bengal Spice from Celestial Seasonings


BunRab
BunRab

The flavor is provided by the archetypal chai blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves, plus a few other spices, against a base of chicory root and carob. Using the chicory root and carob instead of tea leaves makes this a caffeine-free blend, and a great choice for late-night sipping.

On this cold gray morning, I’m sipping away at the Chocolate Chai. While some teas are delicately spiced, I’ve noticed that across the board, Adagio tends to have very bold Chais, with lots of ginger and cardamom. In this particular blend, the cardamom is the strongest flavor, even stronger than the chocolate. It does smell like rich chocolate, but tastewise, the chocolate is quite light, almost elusive, dancing in and out behind the rich spices.

Melange Rooibos from 52Teas

Usually, when I find a rooibos blend tasty, it is because I can’t taste the rooibos … but here, I can taste the rooibos, and it actually completes the cup. The nutty flavor of the rooibos rounds out the zesty spices, complementing them. And the spices seem to curb that funky sweetness that I sometimes taste with the rooibos … all I taste is sweet spice. YUM!

You open the jar and the aroma of spices, including cardamon, makes your mouth water. But it is chocked full of whole cardamon seeds, cinnamon, spearmint and cloves.

The flavor of this tea, much like the rest of the Numi teas I’ve tasted, is not overpowering, but soft and supple. It is the perfect self-drinking chai as it is completely unnecessary to add sugar and cream. It reminds me of curling up on a giant comfy couch, wrapped up in my softest blanket, reading a book and being warmed by the glow of a fire. In fact, the book I would recommend you read while drinking this is 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, by Jules Verne, because that’s what I’m reading now!

The aroma is certainly as seductive as the description on the website says.
