Time for Tea Please?
Who doesn’t love a tea blend made for summer perfect not just hot but iced cold too. So thanks to Chai Wallah Margate, I’m able to try their Tropical Punch.
Chai Wallah Margate
(Direct from website)Chai Wallah Margate was born after falling in love with the country that invented chai – India. With a desire to source high quality chai upon returning to the UK and finding it difficult, nigh on impossible, we decided that the only thing to do was create our own. This allowed the freedom to experiment with the flavours we loved and find different blends that reflect our every mood.
A delicious taste was not enough however, each blend has been individually hand-crafted to be as beautiful and fragrant as it is delicious, to create an all-round sensuous tea drinking experience. We spend enough time rushing around in our everyday lives, the very act of taking the time out for yourself to enjoy a restorative cup of tea is important and shouldn’t be underestimated. Having expanded from chai alone to stocking a variety of unusual blends and exotic twists on the classics, Chai Wallah Margate is perfect for the adventurous tea drinker.

Tropical Punch
For this blend, Chai Wallah uses: apple pieces, rosehip, orange peel, desiccated coconut, pineapple, passion fruit, pomegranate flowers, sunflower petals, natural flavouring.
Upon opening the tea pouch you are instantly hit with an intense fruity aroma. All the fruity flavours give one massive punch of tropical blend which certainly makes your mouth water!
Let’s Get Brewing!
The aroma whilst brewing isn’t too dissimilar to that of its dry state. However the aroma isn’t quite as intense the flavours have mellowed out but still give off the tropical vibe.
The brewed liquid is that of a bright yellow ornagery colouring a bit like a sunflower.
Let’s Get Sipping!
First sip, and i am hooked!
Every single flavour is working in perfect harmony. So much so that there isn’t really a stand-out flavour. It’s doing exactly like the blend is named “tropical punch” .
At times, the blend gives off pina colada vibes with the tropical tones mixed with the coconut. Although primarily the blend tastes more a mix of the apple and passion fruit and the pineapple which provide the blend with perfect sweet and sour notes.
The use of the floral aspects within the blend adds an almost lighter mellow aspect to the blend, which only enhances the fruity flavours.
This blend is also the perfect brew for brewing as long as possible as this only enhances the punch!
This tea blend is so versatile as it’s one that will be perfect hot or cold or even as part of a blend for a spritzer. Perfect for a summers evening.
Happy Sipping 🙂
