Tasters Review:
Coconut Kukicha Masala Chai from Yogic Chai REALLY surprised me!
For one…I never would have thought of flavoring kukicha with these chai ingredients but now that it has been done I am glad it was done and I think it’s genius!
The Cardamom and Cinnamon are NOT overly strong at all…they are wonderfully content sitting in the background! As are the Ginger and Clove. The primary flavors are the Kukicha and Coconut which are bold!
As for the aroma it’s a coconut-twig-toasty-nutty-slightly coffee bean-type scent that I have never sniffed before!
This is very creative..a unique blend of flavors and a daring and bold move! And a successful one, I might add!! This exceeded my expectations and was a wondrous surprise!
