Taster’s Review:

This will be a somewhat bitter-sweet review, because even though I really love this product, I am a little sad that this is the last bottle that I have of it!

These Third Street Chai concentrates make for one unbelievably delicious chai latte.  The flavor is smooth yet invigorating.  It’s a rich, creamy treat!

This chai is similar in some respects to the other chai concentrates that I’ve tried from Third Street Chai, but it is also different.  The honey tone here really stands out, giving this a deliciously sweet taste.  Sweet, but not cloying.

The vanilla is not as strong as I would have expected, although I am finding that the vanilla notes develop as I continue to sip on my latte.  I suspect that the milk that I used here may have interfered a bit with the vanilla as I used whole milk.  Perhaps with this particular variety, one might want to use a 2% milk.

The black tea base is a good, solid tasting black tea.  Not necessarily remarkable in its own right, it seems content to allow the other flavors to shine through to create a very well-rounded flavor.  The spices here are very even, they don’t taste overly “ginger-y” or “cinnamon-y” – rather, they taste warm and mellow.  Not too spicy or hot.  Just amazingly comforting, with no one note trying to overpower the others.

For a tastier-than-coffee-shop chai latte at a better-than-coffee-shop price, you really can’t go wrong with these concentrates from Third Street Chai!  They’re excellent!  And for those of you who think it’s a little too hot for a hot chai latte, try using a combination of milk and ice cubes for the milk ratio and blend it until the ice cubes are pulverized.  A delicious iced chai latte!  YUM!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
