Comparative Sensory Analysis
Madagascar Escape vs Adventurers vs Plain black tea
Two spicy black teas from the range, and the plain tea
A Madagascar version of Chai: our two spicy teas share cinnamon, vanilla and pepper. Madagascar Escape really highlights the spices of the big island with a dominant Bourbon Vanilla and very sweet cinnamon. The Adventurers tea adds guarana for a slightly earthier profile. Both lend themselves wonderfully to being infused in hot milk!
