A nice punchy chai. Good flavor. I boil for several minutes then add milk and warm to just short of boiling. Perfection.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

Love the spices! I did a soft brew, leaves in tea pot covered with tea towel. Then waited five minutes.
A very good, classic chai. Warm and spicy and it wakes me up!
Hand down my Favorite Chai. It's nice that you can make it stronger, to add milk. But steeping 1 tsp per cup is great by itself for a simple chai without any add-in's.
I love this Masala Chai tea. It’s not to spicy for me. It has a subtle flavor and it’s great for those who never had chai as a starter.
I shared a serving of this tea with a friend who is well versed in chai teas. I followed her lead with a scant spoon of sugar and found this offering quiet tasty without being overwhelming. I think I would gravitate to chai tea during cooler weather, and will definitely try this tea again.
This is a nice, traditional Chai blend. It's a warm and comforting tea. I like this with a little bit of sweetener and cream.
We buy this tea regularly for our household, as it's the closest thing to what you get in India. Boil this in a smallish amount of water on the stovetop for several minutes, and don't worry if it gets really strong. Then add as much milk as there is water and simmer for another half minute or so. Add honey or sugar (don't hold back). You'll end up with a fiercely strong, milky chai.
#1 favorite tea. I’ve always been more of an earl grey person but this Chai is amazing. I immediately put it in my cart after trying the sample.
Classic chai. Sooooo good. Great taste. My go to morning cup of caffeine. Will be a long time purchaser
My wife is obsessed with this tea. It’s also incredibly caffeinated so it’s great for late nights
This one is my husband's favorite - especially on chilly days!
Good stuff with moderate caffeine. I made it by seeping 1.5 teaspoons of tea at 212 degrees for three minutes.
This was a decent chai. I wished the cardamom was more noticeable.
I love Chai tea, but have to make my own as buying from a drive thru its always so sweet. This is perfect if you like chai.
This is my new go-to Chai tea. Rich flavor, with warm spices. I will be enjoying it all through the chilly seasons.
Couldn’t get into this tea without sweetening - smell was lovely but taste wasn’t there for me
The smell in itself makes you stop to appreciate it. The best chai I’ve had.
Very lovely smell when opened and very pleasant taste.
I love this chai. I only get it to add to some of my teas that have chai in it and it makes it a little spicier and I love it!
Very lovely tea with a good spice flavor. Absolutely my favorite chai tea
I'm not a huge Chai person due to most being far too heavy with the pepper/ginger. This one is different! Yes, it's a bit spicy, but not overwhelming and, with added milk (2%), it is just right! Now I feel a bit more confident in naming one of my triplet kittens 'Chai Latte'! (All my cats have tea names.) I'm quite happy with this Chai tea and will continue to have it on my future orders.
Delicious classic chai taste, opening the bag hits you with a wonderful smell
Chai anything usually is a big win for me. This is definitely a huge win for me!! Solid for a hot or cold day, unless you don’t like a warming tea in the summer. Lol
A great chai paired with a little cream and some vanilla honey. Warms you up, the mix of black tea, cinnamon and spices puts a smile on your face.
A good chai. Cinnamon doesn't overpower. However, the spice flavor is quite strong so I like to mix this with Assam.
The best masala chai I've ever had. I enjoy it alone, but it's also excellent with some warm milk added.
Masala Chai is everything I want in a cup of tea—comforting, bold, and full of rich, warming spices. The blend of black tea withspices is perfectly balanced. It’s strong without being overpowering, and the spices are vibrant but not too sharp. Highly recommend if you love spiced teas or want something that feels both invigorating and soothing.
Really enjoyed just sitting and smelling this tea. Made me wish for cooler weather and a blanket to snuggle into. Preferred it hot and a touch on the sweet side.
I blend Raja Oolong Chai with Samurai Mate and Masala Chai to create a fabulous hot tea. This has easily replaced my old Teavana favorite.
This is my go to Chai. Balanced spiciness and very smooth. I look forward to it every morning!
Nothing to say but good things about this tea. I love, love, love it. I love Chai teas is my go to and this one is one of my favorites
go to for midafternoon slows, I rotate it with earl grey and top with a bit of oat milk as well as some turneric/ginger powder (golden milk)
Looking for a replacement for Teavanna's Samurai Chai Mate. Getting closer! This is a magnificent chai, definitely recommend!!!
I previously was disappointed by the weak flavor when compared to the strong aroma of the unbrewed tea, but then I got a really good quality teapot and let the tea sit for a long time directly in the water (without a tea bag or strainer). You get a real spicy punch, with a warm underbelly of cardamom, rounded off nicely with a black tea. Perfectly pairs with French Vanilla creamer (which I never put in coffee or any other tea but works a dream here).
Very rich flavor of cloves and cinnamon with a nice black tea background. I personally love the flavor of chai and this is a great basic chai tea!
Wow! That's a spicy chai! The tea uses whole spices. You can see the cardamom, clove sticks and cinnamon slivers. Those WHOLE spices really deliver a lovely spicy chai perfect for those cold mornings. I think I'm going to have to keep this one stocked in my pantry year-round. Great balance, great nostalgic flavor.
Full, flavorful, delicious. A highly recommended tea. The spices are bold without being too forward.
This is my favorite Chai that I have ever had. It has set the bar so high I don’t order Chai at restaurants anymore because it doesn’t come close to this.
I gave it an honest try- twice. But it seems anything with a black tea base is too harsh for me to enjoy 😔
This is my morning go to. The spices lift my spirit. I like to add almond milk and honey. This is a great tea to mix with others.
This chai is the best I've ever purchased. I originally bought the sampler pack of the chais to determine which one I like best, and this one rose above the rest. If you purchase it, you will not be disappointed.
This is a perfect chai tea. I grew up drinking chai and this brings me right back to that. I love it with and without cream
This reminds me of fall and halloween, and I will be so stuocked up on this come this fall it's so good!
A beautiful orange gold in the glass, the scent of it announces that it is spicy! An in-your-face kind of tea, it is spicy and delightful. This would be a great tea to have if you have been outside in the cold and have come inside to warm up. 212F . Five minutes.
Emily (36):As someone who doesn't like Chai, I actually enjoyed drinking thus! A little honey and milk made it perfect.
Evie (9): It reminds me of Fall and Cider! I love the spices! Very yummy.
CommuniTEA sample: 7 min @ 212 F, second cup for 10 min @ 212 F. This is a pretty nice, traditional Chai blend. It's sweet and spicy, with the ginger being the element that I noticed the strongest in it. The Ceylon base does contribute a little bit of that brightness, where some blends might include citrus rind, this one doesn't really need to! It also does add a little bit of dryness that lingers on the tongue. I like adding a couple of grams of crystal rock sugar and some milk or cream to help round out the tea!
Love warm spice teas. I especially love the comfort that comes from cinnamon and autumn flavors in tea. This one does all of that. Sometimes I like to add milk and sweetener to masala chai, but today I went no additions to my cup. I think if you wanted to go a cold route the addition of milk and sugar would give an almost dessert like vibe to your drink. Would totally recommend, but also I understand many do not like their tea with so much spice. For me, spice is nice. 212° 10 min
possibly the best masala Chai I have had... I may need to taste them side by side to be sure. This has the right blend of spice and sweet, without the peppery undertones some have that overpower. Definitely deserves a dab of sweetness and a cream of choice.
This chai is very cardamom forward and the other spices are a lot more subtle. It's nice, it's just not It.
I prefer a chai that punches me in the face with its spiciness.
