Mighty Leaf Bombay Chai Tea Pouches
At $10 for a box of 15 tea bags, I figured this stuff must be great. And indeed, the testimonials on the Mighty Leaf website would seem to confirm that. But, while the tea does have a very good, natural flavor, it is significantly blander than any other chai tea I have ever had. I find Tazo and Stash (especially the Double Spice) both to have a much bolder flavor. Were the prices comparable, I would probably give this 4 stars, as it is really not bad at all, but for the cost, it is not worth it. I get the feeling I am paying more for the fancy cloth tea bags themselves, for the caché of the sachet as it were (sorry, couldn't resist), than for what comes inside them. I managed to pick it up on sale at Whole Foods for $6...had I paid full price, I would be sorely disappointed.

Ive tried many different Chais and for some reason this one is my favorite. The place I get my lattes from adds honey, vanilla, and cinnamon and its amazing. Ive never drank this as is but I love this brand. Tazo tends to be too "peppery" for my taste.
