Sipdown (1917)!
I found this little packet of instant Chai in our office on Friday way, way down at the bottom of a desk drawer. I didn’t actually check before making it, but something tells me that if this Chai had a “best before” date then it’s probably long past it. There was definitely a sort of funk to the aroma of the dry powder that got stronger as I poured water over it…
But I drank it anyway, because that’s what I do. It’s a little weird tasting in a sort of sour way, but not as unpleasant as expected given the smell that was coming off the mug. Mostly it’s incredibly sweet, with a standard spice mix save for the really strong peppery finish. It’s supposed to be a white tea based Chai but there’s really no way you would actually know that unless you’d read the packaging – it has no classic qualities of white tea.
Overall… I give it a meh out of ten.
