Our Verdict - Infusion de Santal Chai
This is Prada's infamously subtle, woody chai. Some find it a beautifully blended, understated take on spicy milky tea, a true gem for sandalwood and spice lovers. Others are left scratching their heads, wondering where the chai went or why it reminds them of pencil shavings.
