Words from Mariage Frères: "This blend is inspired by the famous French-Belgian explorer Alexandra David-Néel, who was also a great tea lover. The broad range of spices (including pepper, clove, ginger, cinnamon and cardamom) recalls Neel's travels across China's tea route."
Tea arrived promptly and all the choices are yummy. I only wish it were less expensive to mail
This tea arrived yesterday, and I brewed a two-cup pot this morning. A very impressive blend with a spicy zing to it - - imparts warmth and a general feeling of comfort and well being. This tea is a keeper.
I also go back and forth between the Chandernagor Chai tea and Alexandra David Neel. Very subtle difference between the two -- Alexandra David Neel is maybe a little 'softer, more rounded' chai tea. Either one makes a perfect cup.
This is a lovely spicy tea; I go back and forth between this one and Chandernagor as my fave Mariages Freres chai. You definitely taste the cloves, ginger, and cinnamon in this tea. Perfect for a cold day--warms you right up!
It's a perfect blend. Not too fruity or flowery. All the flavors are wonderful. Each sip is an experience to be savored. I'm seeing stars. This is toe curling good. Very happy. I like it better than Marco Polo and I love Marco Polo. Six stars !
