Steep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients : Top-Tier Sencha Green Tea, Hibiscus Flowers, Rosehips, Orange Peel, Cinnamon Bark, Lemongrass, Peppermint Leaves, a Superberry Blend of Pomegranate and Cranberries, Organic and Natural Flavors.

Masala Chai @ Tandoori Nights, Fresno CA

This isn't my usual post but holy cow, this Indian specialty tea was
served at the end of my meal yesterday, and it was fantastic! My
husband even liked it and he doesn't like most things tea.

It was a bit sweet, more like a malt, was a tad spicy, and very
savory. It smelled great. Spicy, sweet and creamy.

Definitely a 10/10
