Review of Kusmi Kashmir Tchai (4.4oz.)

Outside of Indian restaurants, I've had very poor experiences with chai tea. The packaged stuff just never tastes very good, and tends to be very heavy on the cinnamon, sometimes overwhelming the black tea. (And don't get me started on that powdered junk that some cafes pass off as chai!) Kusmi's Tchai is definately not a one note blend. Instead of cinnamon, the dominate flavors are cardamom and ginger, but you can still taste the black tea. Wonderful with milk and a little sugar, or all by itself.

Product Description

Founded in 1867 in Saint-Petersburg, Kusmi Teas are faithful to the spirit of the firm P.M Kousmichoff, supplier of the tsars of ancient Russia. In 1917 when the Revolution started in Russia, anticipating a disaster, the eldest Kusmichoff son transferred a part of his fortune to the London office and then created the Kusmi Tea company in France, based in Paris at 75 avenue Niel, where the company still has its workshop and boutique.

Kousmichoff has been carrying on the same tradition of serving connoisseurs and gourmets, combining discerning taste and creativity. Well known for their superb flavor andsmootheness, they are distributed throughout the world in the most fashionable and exclusive places. Kusmi teas share all the complexity and subtlety of ancient Russia.

Kashmir Tchai is a blend of teas and spices (cardamom, ginger, laurel, cinnamon, anis seed, and cloves) according to the traditional Nepalese recipe.

Each tin contains 4.4 ounces net weight of Kashmir Tchai Loose Tea blend by Kusmi Tea from France.
