Saigon Chai


Type: Black Assam Tea
Class: Flavored
Flavor: Chai (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, rose pepper)
Intensity: More smell than taste
Mood: Creative
Perks: Looseleaf, organic, Saigon cinnamon
Source (in Montreal): DAVIDsTEA

A semi-accidental stop at David's Tea resulted in acquisition of this interesting specimen. The taste is not overpowering (read could be a bit more pronounced) but the smell fuels imagination. This tea has the warmth of pure chai, but being much milder does not monopolize your attention. An excellent complement for creative undertakings (so far tested in the domain of cooking and blog writing).
