Here is another go at Fair Trade tea, this time from Chai Baby. I was feeling a little sleepy this morning and Chai Baby's Energy Blend promised a caffeine-free pick up.
I was excited to see pink peppercorns in the silk tea bags, because I love chai with a kick. The tea bag also contained peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon, and "more." I'm not quite sure what the "more" consisted of besides pink peppercorns, since peppermint was the dominant flavor, with just the slightest hint of the other spices. The pink peppercorns appear to be more for decoration, since the kick wasn't there. The tea was tasty, but mostly just tasted of peppermint.
Of course, the label isn't exactly wrong, since chai simply means tea. But, since chai on a tea label usually means spicy, I have a bit higher expectations. On the other hand, this tea was delicious, so I will enjoy subsequent cups.
I like Chai Baby. Its a good for health contains no caffeine.
