Thursday Tea Time - (Cinnamon) Chai It Again

This week - Paromi Tea Cinnamon Chai

Cost:   $9.99, goes on sale for $6.99 at Whole Foods

Number of teabags:   15 

Caffeine:  No 

Type of tea:   Red/Rooibos

Steeping time:  6-7 minutes 

Add ins:  Natural Bliss Sweet Cream or plain
Ingredients:   Rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, aniseed, cadamom, red pepper, clove, vanilla, black pepper, natural cinnamon oil, natural vanilla oil.

Fragrance:   Strong cinnamon and ginger undertone

Opinion:   Definitely worth seeking out and the price.  And a deal when it goes on sale.   You can tell this is a quality tea from the moment you unscrew the cap and catch a whiff of the spices.  It is especially nice to enjoy after dinner without having to worry about caffeine. The rooibos gives it a little extra sweetness so you really don't need to add any additional sugar or milk - bonus there, too. (Especially if you misjudge your mug volume and hit the wrong size button on the Keurig.  Ooh, that was close!)  The red pepper, in addition to the black pepper, is an unusual addition to most other chais, which gives it an extra kick.  The tea sachet is also pretty to look at.  The frosted black glass jar is a nice and unique touch.  I picked up some other flavors while the sale was going on, so stay tuned for future reviews.

Pretty!

Reminder to self to use this mug!

Update May 24, 2015 -- I'm now drinking this with just a touch of honey and a splash of Califia Pure Almond Milk Vanilla Flavor - YUMMY!!  And FYI, Kroger in Houston is carrying it for $2 less than Whole Foods.
