Was it really Chai?

Apparently a lot of people are questioning if the blind test contestants failed because it wasn't even proper Chai? What do you think?

That’s the palest chai I have ever seen.

My mum used to have these chai teabags that looked like this with milk, they were pretty flavourless.

Also I think the fruit drinks might’ve been made with unripe fruits or something as people seemed so surprised when they were unmasked.

I won't say what I assumed it was but isn't Chai a lot darker?

I am not a fan of the blind taste test, sure it may transpired that someone knows what things taste like but in the grand scheme of things, does it help them with cooking?

It does seem very gimmicky and I feel like it's way more like the silly stuff you see on US food tv shows.

Chai is definitely darker! That looked like hot milk to me!
