The dry leaf blend has a bold spicy aroma with cardamom and ginger most evident.
The red-orange infusion has a sweet and spicy aroma with a flavorful, spicy taste and moderate astringency.
This masala chai blend is flavorful without any one spice overpowering the others, though cardamom is most evident in the aroma. Steeped at 3 minutes, this tea can be enjoyed without milk. I also tried this with milk (as intended) and it turned out very well. Second and third steeping lose much of the spice, but still produce a fair cup of black tea. The stone fruit aroma of the subsequent steepings suggest that the base tea is likely Assam.
