TASTE-O-METER Rating
"David Rio Tiger Decaf (or Giraffe as it used to be known) again hits a smooth, rich cup of chai here. It is a bit sweeter than most of the other David Rio mixes, similar to Elephant Vanilla. I also found in this case that despite adding only water to the mix, this one remained very rich and creamy. Perhaps they varied the ingredients to compensate for the decaf tea, as this tends to weaken its flavor slightly. In any case, this decaf definitely does not shortchange on flavor! If you want a rich decaf chai, this one is a great way to go."
