      Not as bad as I expected, or rather as strong. I expected more chai-like flavor, but the spices, while well-balanced weren't as strong as I expected. I'm not a huge fan of cloves, so the flavors weren't for me, and the spices weren't necessarily mild, but didn't quite have a bite either. Give it a try, and you might like it, but not for me.

      Very Chai like flavor. Clove forward. Acidic. Best with milk and/or sugar.

      This is a delicious spice tea. It is smooth and warming, however the spice is not strong.

      A delicious blend that's similar to a chai but without the ginger. I think I prefer this tea.

    • 

      I love this blend. I am a big fan of clove so this was a no brainer, It was a CT sampler so perhaps I didn't get the full flavor profile so perhaps a little more citrus would be nice but I still liked it.

      Strong spice aroma from the packet. Some cinnamon pieces, an orange peel, no cloves. 2 min @ 165. I get a mild black tea flavor with light spice in the background. Medium astringency, barest of bitterness. An okay black tea.

      What a fun treat with some nice spice and warms you up with the spices. I try this wonderful tea with sweetener -honey or sometimes milk. This tea is great to blend with other flavors.

      I love the aroma and taste of this spiced tea. Warm spices with a hint of orange -- lovely! I enjoy this tea hot or cold-brewed. The black tea and spice flavors blend together so nicely. Lovely tea!

      Has more spice than most citrus spiced teas. I still would love a strong chia with a strong bergamot or orange zing to it.

    • 

      Tastes nice. but there's nothing really special about it. It kind of reminds me of Constant Comment or other orange spice holiday teas.

      A nice mild chai, grounded in earthy cinnamon and cardamom with light orange/ginger highlights. Most pleasant.

      It's a mild chai spice with a hint of orange. Tasty enough; I wouldn't turn up my nose to having it again.

      I did enjoy this tea. A little strong and full of flavor. I did have to add some sugar to help

    • 

      For some reason, mine was very earthy, like a citrus grove after rain. The spices were mild, but pleasant. I enjoyed it a lot.

    • 

      It's ok. A basic chai flavor with a black tea base. Good with cream and sugar. A nice go-to when you want a dark and caffeinated chai.

      Decent spice tea. Strong flavor and decent tea quality

      I expected to like this from the description but it was my least favorite I got for the Communitea so far. (My first week of Communitea!) but it's drinkable! Just not my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice.

    • 

      It's okay, it has a very strong and spicy medicinal taste. Just not a big fan, but I'm sure there are people who will enjoy this tea.
