Masterpiece Chai
The following Liber-TEAS description sums it up best, perhaps. However I would like to say that this is a fine chai that has truly high-quality ingredients – whole and ground – which are both pleasing to the eyes, nose and palate.
Liber-TEAS describes this tea as:
This is my own, exclusive chai tea recipe, which I created after several months of frustration due to sampling other vendors chai teas. What I wanted was a delicious chai tea that I could brew in water (rather than brewing in milk), and serve with honey and milk, and still taste as fabulous as the chai latte beverages I was able to get from the local coffeehouse. What I was getting were teas that tasted washed out, and lost much of their flavor when I would add the milk.
So I decided to try my hand at blending my own recipe. In this tea, I use High Grown Ceylons and Estate Assams, and my own special blend of spices, including Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, and a few secret spices. After many months of blending, sampling, re-blending, and starting over from scratch, I finally found the right combination of flavors that would brew up easily in water (I mean, really, have you tried to brew chai tea in milk? What a mess!!!) and then I could add milk to create a latte beverage that rivals even the best coffeehouses! I absolutely adore this tea!
A very strong chai that really does brew up well in water and does not lose it’s flavor when you add milk! Lovely with either sugar or honey. For a truly exotic experience, add a small dab of butter to the tea! It’s very well rounded and a bit tangy as well as spicy!

"Well, as someone who has tasted a lot of chai tea, I can attest that this really is not very similar in taste to Chai. Chai tends to focus on the spices, whereas this tea’s focus is on the orange, with the spices being very gentle and more of an accent to the orange."

"How fun! I love drinking tea so I love that you have a whole blog related to reviewing them. One brand that I really love that I don’t see on your list is the Portsmouth Tea Company. When I lived in Boston I used to buy lots of their teas and they were oh so unique. They had some really great fruity and floral blends. It’s interesting that..."

"Haha!! My co-worker told me that she purchased this tea after having purchased the Matcha Latte at Seattle’s Best, and her and another co-worker purchased this because they believed it was what was served there. She stated to me today that “it didn’t seem the same exactly…it felt like their was something..."

"I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe that this is the concentrate that Seattle’s Best coffee shops use to make their matcha latte. The lattes I’ve enjoyed there were sweet with a definite melon flavor… and I have noticed that they sell other Tazo teas there. If it IS the concentrate that they use… I am..."

"Steph: Thank you for your information about the naranquilla. I didn’t find the flavor to be very tart at all – which is what I would have expected from the combination of lime and rhubarb. Perhaps the maraschino sweetened it up a bit and made it much more peach-like. It reminded me a bit of candied apricots or peaches."
