Tea: Kukicha MasalaVendor: Yogic Chai
Price: $9.00 / 2oz
Leaf: The leaf has a dark brown houjicha mix with the strong spice aroma. The mix has a very rich aroma to it.
Brewing Parameters: 4 ounces of water, 4 ounces of milk, 3g of leaf, 4 min infusion, 1 tsp honey
Infusion: This infusion has a slightly off white milky color to it. There is a very distinctive sweet creaminess to this tea, and you can definitely taste the chai spices. There is not much of a kukicha flavor to it. The normal roasted flavor is lightly detectable in this roasted kukicha mix.Rating: 6/10
Conclusion: Of the three chai teas that I tried from Yogic chai, this was the only one that was suggested to use milk and sweetener with. It provided a very smooth and creamy and appropriately sweet mix, but there was not as much of a tea falvoring to be found with it. I enjoyed this tea a lot, but would prefer a more dominant and stronger chai flavor.

I tried this one and had the same opinion you did.
The spices were wonderful, but the green tea flavor was lost in there somewhere.
Coconut Chai Masala is my favorite from them so far. I don't normally like coconut. However I couldn't taste the coconut in this tea - it just made it little sweeter (compared to the Original Chai Masala).
Great post! :)
