★★★★★

This Masala Chai tea is sweet without sugar and warming without sting.

3 min steep · 210°F

★★★★☆

Very tasty, my partner loves it! Nice strong flavor.

★★★★☆

Very refreshing; good for an afternoon pick-me-up or at night to improve the mood.

★★★★☆

Good but not as spicy as I tend to think chai should be. Still delicious with a splash of milk and a teaspoon or so of honey!

8 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Nothing bad to say about this tea! If you love Chai tea with spices this is a perfect one for you.
Very smooth tasting and never bitter!

★★★★★

excellent flavor usually. I've only had a few batches that were bitter despite following the instructions on the bag. Love with steamed milk

★★★★☆

This is very similar to a chai that Teavana offered back in the day. I love adding it to other chai teas for that extra chai flavor, but it's a bit too spicy and earthy on it's own. It goes well with thai chai, but the best is combining it with raja oolong and samurai mate. Together they taste just like the samurai chai tea I used to get from Teavana.

A delicious cup of warm hugs. It’s a delicate cinnamon chai and it doesn’t need a drip of milk or sugar. It’s perfect the way it is.

15 min steep · 190°F

Warm and comforting. Tastes fantastic with a little scoop of sweetened condensed milk.

Love this tea - best chai flavor without being over powering

★★★★★

Nice warm flavor. Strong tea great balance of the spices

★☆☆☆☆

Can’t quite describe how poorly this tea tasted. Reminded me of some Ted Lasso quotes.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Lovely strong af, very good with all the milk and sugar. I prepared it with just steeping so not like boiling it but it turned out wonderful!

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

One of the best chais I have ever bought. It will be my chai from now on.

★★★★☆

a nice, solid masala chai; not too watery, and the range of spices blend nicely in the cup

★★★★☆

Good though I prefer a stronger, richer flavor than the thinner spice. It's a little thin on the spice but maybe I'll try brewing it in hot milk for something really rich.

★★★★★

Chai tea is delicious, and this is no exception I add a bit of cardamom and warm 1/2 and 1/2, and on a cold day it’s lovely.

★★★★☆

A very nice chai though a bit more cinnamon than I like. Still it does a good job of balancing the sweet and spicy notes.

★★★★☆

Although this chai resembles many others, it offers a nice blend of chai flavors, sweet and spicy in a nice balance, with inviting aromas.

★★★★★

This has become my go-to chai. It's nice and spicy, and its wonderful for cold days.

★★★★★

Nice flavor, warm, comforting. Left an odd after smell in my kettle though

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

lovely chai! it's a super good spice blend. I definitely recommend it.

10 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

The perfect chai. Lots of depth, but not too bitter or earthy.

★★★★☆

If you love a really powerful blend of spices this is for you. It was a bit too much for my preference so I created a 50/50 blend with Ceylon Sonata.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

The ideal cup of chai! I admit I was addicted to a certain chain stores chai and I wanted a similar spice mix at home. This hits the spot

★★★★☆

Excellent classic Chai tea that smells like the kind you get in a certain coffee chain (ahem) but without the overly sweetness they have. Perfect for cold and holiday drinking to keep warm.

★★★★★

Solid performer! You can’t beat the value for quality at Adagio. This Chai in particular feels cinnamon-heavy to me, but not so much so that I won’t continue to buy it.

3 min steep · 205°F

★★★☆☆

Way too heavy on spices, especially cloves. The tea flavor is drowned out.

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Best Chai I have ever had. Put a little honey and cream in it. It is so good!

★★★★★

I have this every morning as my wake-up tea. I use two tablespoons of tea in the tea ball. Once it's steeped, I mix in about a tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 cup milk. If you can froth the milk, that's even better. I love this tea.

6 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

It wasn't as spicy as I was hoping for. I let it steep a little longer for more spiciness but then the black leaves got kind of bitter.

★★★☆☆

I like the taste of this tea, but I find I have to use half the 'recommended' amount or it becomes way too bitter for me.

★★☆☆☆

I think this one should be called clove chai because that’s the only true flavor I could taste.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

One of the better chai blends I've ever used. Very fragrant and kept its spice potency even for a second cup

8 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

I am not a Chai lover, but wanted to try this—it is good, but perhaps a bit of much clove in it.

★★★★★

Sting note that are not overwhelming. Great for the mid morning when you need a boost.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

I love a spicy Chai, and this is certainly spicy. It can be too spicy if over steeped.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★☆☆☆

My bestie says she has to be in a specific mood for Masala Chai. I am new to chai teas in general, and so far I have enjoyed zero of three varieties.

★★★★★

A wonderful chai tea! I like mine with a splash of milk and a spoonful of honey.

★★★★☆

Interesting flavor I was not expecting. It is good but I haven't made up my mind yet whether I will get it again.

★★★★★

Delicious blend of spices and black tea, giving a lovely cozy feeling while drinking it.

Love chai teas and this is a wonderful and tasty one! My CT packet had an enticing spicy aroma. And when brewed, the strong spices partnered well with the bold black tea taste. The clove in my packet gave this chai a nice depth of flavor. The first steep was full bodied while the resteep was much milder. Chilled, the cold tea was flavorful too with the spices nicely tamed and well blended after being refrigerated for a while.

My CT packet had 4 g / 3 tsp of all ingredients. Brewed 16 oz. at 204*F for 7 minutes, the recommended time and quite a long steep for a Ceylon tea but with good results. The chai spices covered any astringency of the black tea and complemented its tannic taste at the finish too. A sweetener add brightened all flavors and I opted for a bolder taste without a dairy add. This classic chai is used in many of my favorite fandoms; a cup of any one of them warms my heart and soul deliciously.


2020 Dec. 27 Masala chai is a favorite of mine. I like the flavor blend of cinnamon, ginger, and clove in a black tea base. With milk and sugar added, this tea becomes spicy, sweet and soulful. A real pick me up.

★★★★☆

A nice compliment of flavors, I think perhaps the 10 minute steep was too long for me. The spices overwhelmed the tea flavors. Very Tasty hot, rather meh cold

A nicely spiced chai, definitely one I add sugar to though to balance out the ginger (and milk of course).

★★★★★

A wonderful, balanced chai. The tea is nice and warming, especially for colder mornings.
