This week - Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice
Cost: $3.00 on sale at Super Target
Number of teabags: 20, individually-wrapped
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Black
Ingredients: Black teas, cinnamon, natural flavors, licorice root, ginger, cloves, black pepper, cardamom
Steeping time: The box says 5 minutes, but it developed a bitter aftertaste. The second time I kept at at 3 minutes, much better!
Add ins: Sweet Bliss makes it seem like pumpkin pie!
Fragrance: Pumpkin and ginger
Opinion: One of two new seasonal offerings from Tazo. (watch for an upcoming review of Tazo Chai Vanilla Caramel next week). Pumpkin is showing up everywhere - even in Hershey's Kisses! Something told me to give this another chance. The first cup had a strange, bitter aftertaste, with or without adding milk and sugar. I liked it better the second time. You can detect the pumpkin in the first sip and then it definitely has a surprising pepper aftertaste kick. Interesting Autumn twist on Chai.
