This is one of my favorite caffeinated teas. It has a pleasant spiced scent, and I like it with a splash of milk and no sugar.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

I'm not a chai drinker. I've been sure of this for decades, but...I tried & loved this. Added a nice portion of frothed coconut cream & almond milk to it, & it is an ideal chai latte for me.
Love love this one. My favorite chai. The nice peppery finish is satisfying.
This is my favorite tea of all time. It smells wonderful and the taste is bursting with flavor. I’ve given boxes of Masala Chai as gifts and all my friends rave!
Lovely classic chai. I like it best with some sugar and almond milk.
I was never a hot tea person until I got this Chai! I add a tiny bit of milk and a tsp of sugar but not because it absolutely needs it; I just like that kind of thickness in a drink.
(Tastes really good if you dunk a snickerdoodle in it too!)
delicious! a very good basic chai
I'll admit - my tea palette isn't very sophisticated. I really only drink bagged tea from the supermarket and have never tried loose-leaf tea. Still, I know this stuff is great! I love the spiced flavor of this tea. I like giving this tea a long steep, as it enhances the spiced flavor.
This is a bit spicier than your traditional chai tea. The ginger, cloves, and cinnamon stand out but once you add some milk and cream it is divine! I bought the raja oolong chai as well and i much prefer this one. The raja oolong is closer to a very cinnamon flavored black tea while again this one is closer to a traditional chai (just spicier in a pleasant way)
Delicious and stout, but not too stout. Great for early mornings.
This tea is execllent!! Love this with some cream/milk!
Doesn't contain black pepper which is a huge plus for me. The spices are crisp and sharp and blend in extremely well with the black tea. Adding milk makes this wonderful. So much better than the bagged versions I've found in specialty stores and the supermarkets.
I am usually not a chai fan, but this was mild enough. It was really good with some honey and steamed milk!
What’s there to say about chai that hasn’t been said already? Steep at double strength for double the time of most teas, and enjoy the most satisfying and recreational punch in the face you’ll ever get.
I always love a good chai tea! This one is a very good flavor and scent.
Pretty good basic chai! We always keep chai on hand as a basic tea, and Adagio's Masala Chai is definitely one of the better chai teas we've had.
I lke this one a lot and it is part of my regular rotation of day-time teas.
I’m sorry to say, because I’ve loved everything else I’ve had from Adagio, but I am not a fan of this one. I brewed it for slightly longer than the recommended time but really all I could taste was black tea and maybe a hint of the spice. I make a chai at home with powdered spices and it def has a bit of a burn, that’s something I look for in a good chai. If you like a more mild chai, you might enjoy this tea.
When I received the samples of this tea, I was excited. I opened the packet and it smelled just like a masala is supposed to. I couldn't wait to compare it to the masala chai from another loose leaf company. When I read the ingredients off the packet, I noticed discrepancies from the site, however. First, the ingredients listed on the site specify a typical distribution of ginger, cloves, cinnamon. The packet listed cloves directly after black tea. And indeed, the packet was entirely overflowing with cloves. The 'natural cinnamon flavor' was incredibly overwhelming. I steeped it according to instructions, and then I tried it. I don't think I've ever tasted loose leaf that was so artificial tasting. It barely tasted anything like chai. It was terrible in every combination of milk/cream and sugar/honey I added. I do not recommend this to anyone, and I'm sad to say that.
A bit clove heavy in the mix but amazing overall. Definitely a go to tea for me.
A well-balanced traditional chai blend that can be savored unsweetened. This blend also pairs nicely with milk.
Strong and bold, this tea is required if you love masala spices.
'Mas Masala!' cries my inner gaucho upon finishing a cup of this toro-iffic tea.
It was pretty good, but not as good as Thai chai. This was less sweet, so I'd recommend it if you like teas that aren't as sweet.
very delicious...very relaxing...perfect cup of tea
Superb! Comforting and warm, I like it with milk!
In the packet it smells just like how i think of chai. I was hesitant to brew it 10 minutes, but didn’t notice any ill effects. Has a noticeable cinnamon and clove scent, and a gentle ginger throat burn. Somehow i was caught off guard by how thin the mouthfeel was without all the sugar and milk that I probably consumed in the past. Adding mct powder and vanilla skim milk helped smooth the flavor a little, but sugar / syrup / fatty milk probably would’ve helped thicken the mouthfeel.
Very lovely and warming. The exact kind of cozy I was looking for!
Very strong, rich flavor. My go to when I am in the mood for something warming.
I LOVE this tea. Seriously. If I could give a tea 10 stars, I would! I wake up an hour before my toddler just to have a cup of this tea so I can finish it while it’s hot! It’s THAT good!!
Really good chai, especially with a splash of half and half and a teaspoon of honey. Definitely steep for at least 7 minutes for the spices to infuse the tea.
I have given up coffee entirely with this tea and had not even a whisper of a headache or coffee withdrawal. It has helped my stomach and inflammation issues, it smells and tastes divine. Spicy sweet and perfect with frothy almond milk and honey . My start to the day everyday now, Love it !
Such a great, solid chai. Usually I have it hot but I brewed it and put it over ice recently and it was really good! Usually I like my iced tea fruity but this was a nice change.
Provides great flavor that is smooth yet spicy without the harshness found in some Chai teas. It is wonderful blended with an English breakfast tea.
I got this & the Raja Oolong Chai because I've been craving a good cup of chai & I was hoping I could just lazily add milk & sugar to this. No dice. This one was way too ginger & clove heavy for my tastes. Now I'm trying to figure out my preferred spice blend & making it on the stove with an assam tea.
Very Tasty. The Ingredients are black tea, cardamom,ginger root, cloves, cinnamon bark. Perfectly blended.
One of the best chais I've had. Add the cinnamon honey and a little milk to really perfect it. A go to in this house.
Always perfect, robust in flavour, balance of spice and creamyness. I usually do a longer steep for a stronger brew, usually 10-12 minutes @200F . I made this chai for ages with 1/2 steamed and 1/2 coconut almond milk and add anise and red peppercorns. I recently changed it up a bit and used 1/2 cashew milk and 1/2 coconut almond. Steam the milk at around 150F, no higher than 160F. Perfect anytime, but a late morning favourite.
Adagio's Masala chai is a genuinely delicious chai, a wonderful combination of the traditional chai spices with a good, strong black tea. I enjoy this unflavored, with sugar, or with sugar and almond milk (I can't have dairy). This is a long-time favorite of mine. If you like chais and other spice teas, give this one a try.
Ultimate Chai. Iced or with a splash of milk - it's a treat!
My daughter liked this one so much that it mysteriously ended up in her house. 🙄
Nice tea.
A cost-effective and tasty/spicy chai. Love this with a good dollop of soymilk and (if I'm feeling like it) a touch of honey.
Do you like Masala chai? Well you'll love this tea. Super yummy. I love the color. Makes you feel magical.
This is a nice strong chai that makes a lovely chai latte. I tried it both with and without the addition of 2 sugars for some added sweetness to balance the spices and I enjoyed it both ways. Will order more.
I love chai tea and this one is a great pick-me-up. It has a wonderful spicy aroma and is very tasty.
Most delicious chai I loved drinking it with honey and oat milk yum!!
A nice blend of tea, I'd consider it a good go to tea.
On the lookout for my perfect cup of chai and this just might be it! Love this with some frothed milk for the perfect chai latte. Just the right amount of spice!
I've enjoyed the Masala Chai, especially when blended with the ceylon and lapsang souchung.
