It holds 20 individually sealed envelopes: five of Classic Chai, five of Creamy Vanilla, five of Gingerbread Spice and five of Vanilla Chai. All four start from black tea and add natural flavourings and spices, so every cup is spiced, sweet-scented or both. Two are chais, built on warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and clove; one is a vanilla black tea; and Gingerbread Spice sits between them. Anyone after a plain breakfast-style cup should look elsewhere. The Taste Profile Spice: ●●●●○ (4/5) Warming chai spices in two teas and gingerbread spice in a third. Vanilla: ●●●●○ (4/5) A sweet vanilla note in Creamy Vanilla and Vanilla Chai. Black tea body: ●●●○○ (3/5) A black tea base that takes milk, carrying the flavour rather than leading. Variety: ●●●●○ (4/5) Four flavoured teas in one box.

In Creamy Vanilla it is the whole character; in Vanilla Chai it softens the spice. Gingerbread Spice sits between the two, spice-led but sweet-scented. ## Recipe Ideas The Black Tea Discovery Collection is made for tasting side by side.
