Desert Chai by Matthew Williamson - 75g

The Assam base is sturdy enough to hold up to milk, and the vanilla and almond soften the spice into something genuinely cozy. I've been brewing a pot every evening since it arrived.

The cinnamon and cardamom really come through in every sip, and that vanilla-almond finish makes it feel like a proper treat rather than just a cuppa. I’ve been brewing it with a splash of milk after dinner, and the Assam base holds its own beautifully.

The liquorice root adds this subtle sweetness I wasn't expecting, and it balances the Assam's boldness perfectly. I've been brewing it with a splash of milk every afternoon, and that vanilla-almond note makes it feel like a proper treat.
