First, the Chai Tea comes in a little tea bag, which is all to adorable and a great marketing/packaging idea.

I was really excited about these balms because both are loaded with greatness and I do love tea greatly. The Green Tea has actual Matcha tea leaves in it. I love Match green tea. Both of these balms glide right onto your lips. It is so smooth and lush. The Green Tea has this excellent flat but invigorating scent of tea leaves.

The Chai is a bit tangier, reflecting the spice of the drink, but it does actually make your lips tingle a little. Both look like they would feel greasy at first but they do not. They penetrate quickly into your lips and it feels so healthy.

I do not think these would hold up well in your pocket during the day. They seem to have a low heat resistance but do last about 3.5/4 hours, which is impressive. They hold up pretty well to drinking and eating, however I did notice they went quicker if your drink was hot, like tea. (Ironic or just unfortunate?)

Overall, if you love tea or chai or are just looking for an excellent lip balm, I am going to rave about these two options. I just wish these were vegan and I could keep them in my jean pocket and not worry about melting.
