Too soon for a final verdict, only one potful brewed. But, for the interim...I was taken in by the name. If this is chai, it is the most subtlely spiced tea ever. Even the orange is very subtle. Bigelow Constant Comment has a big flavor, and something slightly more subtle would be appreciated, but this tea is too, too far at the other end of the continuum.
Container is impressive--good artwork, but unless a second or third potful changes my mind, the tea inside is not nice for the price.
Revision 1: I've gotten myself on the outside of a second and even third pot, I can now expand my comments. I do not normally use milk or cream in my tea, but I do use a sweetener--just enough to "round-off the corners." The second and third pots of this tea were taken with no sweetener (still no milk or cream). This tea is better without the sweetener--it gives you a subtle black tea flavor, very subtle (that's why it's better with no additions--it doesn't have "corners" to be rounded). I still adamantly state that it is NOT chai as I know it, and NOT orange. I will make the best of the remaining tea by drinking it sans sweetener. Not sure I will buy more--it's very pricey for all the NOTs.
