Bought this tea on a recent trip to Boston, and went cheap and bought too little because of the price tag, which was a mistake that I regret (I live in Denmark; no Teavana stores this side of the Atlantic). This tea is uniquely aromatic, very spicy, without actually being very hot (in the spice sense, not temperature). If you have a cold (a very common condition in the typically cold and foggy winter of southern Scandinavia), this is pure medicine; a big cup, with a tea spoon of honey, does wonders to a sore throat. It may not be to everybody's taste, but it is without a shadow of doubt my favorite tea.

This tea has a very pleasant aroma both dry and prepared. The first two flavors of this tea that I could taste is the black pepper and the mint. I think that the pepper is a bit too strong, lingering on the tongue minutes after consuming. Just by chance I had a cup of this tea that I was sipping, and my wife made chicken noodle soup for lunch. After having the tea, and then having the soup, they seemed to compliment each other. I believe this was due to the pepper in the tea. There are a few people in my family that enjoy tea, but I don't believe that they would enjoy this particular blend due to the peppery bite.

The first sip took me by surprise, but as I continued drinking, I really enjoyed it. It reminds me a lot of the White Ayurvedic Chai because it's very peppery, but the French Quartet Spice is bolder and has a more unique flavor. For the next cup, I will probably try adding some milk or cream to mellow it out a little.

Went to pick up some tea and a thermos and came out with this. As a plain coffee drinker, I loved the intensity of the flavors, especially the cinnamon aftertaste. I would not recommend it to anyone that doesn't like heavy spices though.

My favorite tea is the Zingiber Coconut Ginger with the White Ayurvedic chai next. This tea, in my opinion, falls right in line with those two. The cinnamon smell and taste are strong with a very spicy, peppery finish that does linger. If you like spicy teas, you should try this one.

This one has a very powerful blend of spices. The cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg are most pronounced. It keeps the flavor very strong throughout. Could be too strong, so it can be mixed half and half with regular black or oolong tea and still gives a lot of flavor.

The first time I went to the store I got this tea to go cold and it was delicious! Then I could not stop thinking about it so I went back and got another and this time I bought some for home. I made this hot this morning and it is just as good hot as it is cold. I would recommend this to anyone who likes something a little different and wants to experience a truly joyful cup of tea.

If you like the chai-chai blend they sample in the store you will likely enjoy this tea as well. I enjoy oolong teas and this is a great alternative when I'm looking for something a little different

This would be GREAT if it didn't have the mint. If you like mint mixed with cloves and ginger, then you'll like this tea. The mint is too strong for my taste. And I didn't notice the vanilla at all. I tried mixing it with maharaja chai but it just ruined the chai instead. Just personal taste but I thought I'd warn others.

This tea is warm and soothing with the fall flavors of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. My husband purchased this for himself but after watching him rave about it, I had to try it. I am normally a sweet, fruity tea lover, but this made me put down my fruity teas.
