Chai made with cacao shell has a unique and distinct flavor profile compared to regular chai tea. The addition of cacao shells imparts a subtle chocolatey flavor to the tea, which blends well with the traditional chai spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black peppercorn, and cloves. The taste of chai made with cacao shell is less sweet than a chai latte, which is a Westernized version of chai tea that is typically sweeter and less complex in flavor.
