Instant tea mixes have always intrigued me. More or less for the convenience factor. In the mornings, I am rushed. Even waking up early doesn’t seem to help me get everything done, in place, everybody out the door- with there still time to always be able to make a proper cuppa. Especially anything I might want to add a touch of frothed milk or creamer too.
So when The Famous Lion Chai from T by Daniel came my way, I was pretty excited to check the concoction out. Without even looking at the ingredients, I added 2 tablespoons of the mix into my frother, added the recommended 8 ounces of milk, hit the button to froth/mix up and away I went finishing up making lunches and making sure homework was in book bags.
A few moments later I heard the ding indicated the tea was ready, poured the mix into my tea cup, and away I went. After taking my first sip though, I noticed a flavor hanging out in the background that made me wish I would have checked the ingredients. Hazelnut. I know I know. The majority of the world loves hazelnut, but sadly I am not one of them. And after taking a few more sips, the resounding flavor I was getting was split between caramel and hazelnut.
Now the good thing about these flavors being so pronounced and in the spotlight-there really isn’t a harsh artificial flavor that I’ve gotten when trying mixes like this one in the past. For me personally, the best part of this blend is this honeyed cinnamon flavor you can catch here and there. Really light and sweet with just a hint of a spiced kick.
Overall, well played T by Daniel! Even though I’m not 100% in love with this mix, I know my kiddo would love and eagerly gulp away. And I would have no problem serving this to him in the mornings instead of the soda he seems to grab. I’m sad to say this just isn’t a blend for me.
