Our Review: We love the fact that not only is every ingredient certified organic, but they list the % content for every ingredient, not just the ones featured in the name of the blend. This means the company go above and beyond the laws pertaining to food names / descriptions, giving us faith in their integrity.
All that said, this wasn’t our favourite flavour. It’s just too sweet for us. This comes from the three types of tulsi, which add a fruity edge to the usual blend of chai spices. In fact, it sort of overpowers the chai and tastes more like tulsi than spice. We’re not so sure those flavours go well together, even if they are all from the same region.
But some people will like it. If you’re going to drink it, we recommend having it after a meal, as a dessert substitute.
Best time of year to drink this: Any time
Best time of day to drink this: After lunch or dinner
