Tasters Review:
Gen Mai? Lemongrass? Chai? I can’t say as I would have thought about putting all of this together but I am sure glad that Yogic Chai did because it’s pretty darned awesome!
The Genmaicha is the perfect ‘strength’ for me and of really good quality. The Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger are all quite subtle and I’m completely fine with that. There are little popped rice that are included in this blend of flavors and I think that is very nice! It makes me smile, actually! The Lemongrass is a wonderful touch!
This is another good, unique chai/blend from Yogic Chai! And I am grateful that I was able to try it. If you have the opportunity to sample it – do it! You won’t regret it!
