★★★☆☆
This is an okay chai, but there is way too much clove and nowhere near enough cardamom. The clove dominates the palate (you can even see it in the picture itself!). The taste was not very well-balanced.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

A really great, well balanced, spicy chai. I like brewing it strong and making lattes.
I drink lots of chai and love this one best. I asked a restaurant what chai they used and it was this one. So now I buy it direct from Adagio.
LOVE this chai blend. I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I can only drink 1 cup a day, but then switch to the decaf chair blend. This is my absolute favorite chai, perfect with a touch of honey and almond milk.
Love chai tea and really enjoy this tea and the flavor
Oooh, this is GOOD. I'm really fond of chai, and this is a great one. While I typically go for loose leaf tea, I bought the bags in this blend, and I'm perfectly happy with them.
Not my favorite chai but good enough. It lacks a richness and complexity that a truly excellent chai has.
This tea was just ok. I tried it with milk, almond milk, steamed heavy cream, but just could not get the flavor. Now my daughter loves it, so I'm giving it to her. I does smell amazing...just not for me.
Very good! Not as spicy as some masala that I've had, but still extremely enjoyable.
Standard spiced chai, pretty good blend of flavors.
Literally the perfect cup of tea! It's good by itself of blendes with other teas for a little excitement. Perfect with a little cream and some rock sugar from Adagio! :)
Without sugar and milk I was not impressed. I found the clove to be overpowering the other spices. Adding sugar and milk brought everything into a better balance.
It is a great chai tea. It's a little on the dark side so I would say its more of a winter/cold weather chai but definitely a staple here
A wonderful chai blend, I mix it with Raja Oolong Chai and Samurai Mate.
Heaven in a glass. Definitely needs cream but that's what chais are meant for.
My favorite morning eye-opener! I make a big pot that lasts most of the morning.
Wonderful blend. Love the boldness and rich flavors.
Delicious. However, would love ❤️ a little more spice. I will be trying other Chia flavors. In search of that perfect cup. Searching for that Oprah Chia flavor.
I always love a good chai, and this definitely qualifies!
Not a big Chai drinker but this is amazing. I boil 2 cups of water on the stove then add 3 to 4tsp of chai, turn heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes or so. Then I add 1 cup of milk and a few tsp of rock sugar, and heat to boiling, then turn the heat to low and simmer 5 more minutes
This is a good, solid masala chai. You get what you expect. It could have a bit more spiciness to it, but it is unlikely you would ever be disappointed by it. It was good with a bit of milk added to it, which might not be as spicy as if you were to brew it 50/50 in water and milk, but I like my chai to have some strong flavors, so take that for what it's worth.
I love chi tea, this one just doesn't pack the punch to make it anything that great. Honestly I would stick with an Indian brand or just do homemade.
Yes. Yes yes everything I want from a masala chai and none of the work. Perfect spice combination, I love it with some oat milk and sugar or some sweet creamer.
This tea was amazing! I loved all the flavors blending together. I add a little monkfruit and oat milk to finish it off. I could drink this all day during a blizzard :)
This is my favorite Chai. I love it with rock sugar and a bit of almond milk
This is a good chai. I add star anise pods and cinnamon sticks when I brew it. Then I add cream and sugar plus a sprinkle of cardamom.
A spicy, pleasant chai with a robust flavor. Contains a good level of caffeine. To get the full body, steep to recommended length of time.
The perfect blend of spice and black tea. Even better with a touch of milk and sugar.
Very good! But not as good as some other chai teas I have tried.
The flavor balance is pretty spot on in this blend, but you really have to use a lot for it to stand up to adding milk. I'll probably go back to making my own blend once this is gone.
I mix this with the chocolate chai and honestly its my favorite tea
Far too much clove for my taste. It overpowers the other ingredients. I sweetened it with maple syrup and made an iced latte out of it; it was decent but could be better.
Nice and spicy. Delicious flavorful chai. Easy to get a bit bitter so I only brew for about 3 minutes.
Just as good as I remember it. This is one I try to brew in milk on the stovetop if I have time but equally good with water and a splash of milk after brewing.
Cinnamon forward and delicious. I enjoy this chai but wish it was a little spicier
What can I say? It’s masala chai. Of course it’s delicious. I will note that while it is spicy, it is far from the spiciest masala chai I’ve ever had. As someone who adores spicy chais, I may have to try steeping 3 heaping teaspoons instead of just two.
I love the smell of this tea very earthy and spicy too
Love Marsala! Tried it in a portions sampler. Then I bought a 3 ounce package. Will try more of the chai teas.
not quite right for me but still very tasty!! I made it with some coconut milk into a latte and was delightful.
This is really delicious. Combine with sugar and milk for a spicy creamy treat.
Good chai tea only downfall lots of cloves in the blend and taste
Delicious Chai! Warming and cozy! Smells like heaven
Perfect winter chai! Drink it almost every morning.
I enjoy this tea quite a bit. It's got a cozy spiced feel.
It’s a little cinnamon heavy. It’s good, but I would prefer more presence from the cardamom and other spices.
a very nice Chi. Love the clove and cinnamon. However, needed to add some cream to smooth out the flavor.
This is a wonderful tea!
Great flavor with a bit of honey!
Exactly what it says -- perfect with a little milk and sugar, nice warm spices, classic chai
Decent, although in the end I ended up making my own blend.
I baught this to make chai tea blend. I love the strong clove flavor.
