I recently tried Chaï Impérial, a masala chai blend from Palais des Thés. Here’s my detailed review of the experience:
Preparation:
- Temperature: 212°F / 100°C
- Time: 3 min, 0 sec
- Tea Amount: 7 g
- Water Volume: 14 oz / 400 ml
Overview
What a great Masala Chai, paired with milk (50:50 ratio) this is definitely one of the best ones out there.
Tasting Notes:
Nothing much to add, the cardamom and ginger overpower the pink pepper, but that is to be expected from a Masala chai. I made myself some Karak Chai with it too using concentrated milk.
Flavors: Cardamom, Ginger
Rating:
- Flavor Complexity: 25/30 - Rich and well-balanced spices, although cardamom and ginger dominate.
- Brewing Forgiveness: 18/20 - Performs well even with minor adjustments in preparation.
- Consistency Across Infusions: 20/20 - Maintains strong flavor profile throughout.
- Overall Enjoyment: 19/30 - Highly enjoyable, particularly with milk.
82/100
