My absolute favorite all-around chai. It’s a classic blend of chai spices, with no artificial flavors like you get in all of the pre-made chai, or in many of the big-name brand’s teabags.
I like to simmer it in a tea ball in a pot on the stove, in water, then add milk and bring it up to temp (without letting the milk boil). Add a healthy dose of honey, and serve up your rich, spicy chai.
un poco fuerte el sabor pero super agradable no es amargo y tiene un olor riquisimo
This Tea is amazing in a blend and on its own!!! Perfect drink any time of the year!!!
I ordered several chai teas for my daughter, this is her favorite. She says she LOVES it!
I love Chai! This is a very good traditional blend that is very comforting and well balanced.
I had Masala Chai for the 1st time at a local Indian restaurant and loved it! When I saw it on the website I knew I had to try it even though I wasn't sure if it would be as good as the one I had. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I steeped it as directed and added a little milk and sugar...OMG, it is amazing!! This is one of my new favorites and I will be stocking up!
I love chai teas and this one is so flavorful and perfect balance
Great tea--especially when steeped in half milk/half water. Nice cinnamon taste.
Delicious and spicy and everything you want in a simple chai!
This is one of the best chais I’ve had in a long time.
My husband and I really enjoy how complicated this tea is. It's sweet and spicy, smooth and biting. All in all a great way to start your day with a kick!
Love this chai! Super good flavor. Smooth and robust
Nice tea with great aroma, but leaves a slight bitter after-taste.
This is a great chai. It s pretty strong and spicy and it takes to milk well. One of my all time favorites.
Very good- I prefer Raja Chai with Samurai Mate though and that blend is very hard to live up to. I might try to find something to blend this with.
My favorite chai ever. I like a strong, spicy chai. Delicious with a touch of maple syrup and a splash of whole cream.
This Chai tea is one of my favorites!! The spice and tea combines to create a very eastern flavor with touches of cardamom, clove, ginger and all-spice. I make a big ceramic mug in the morning, (especially since it has been so very frigid here), and add a splash of milk the authentic creamy chai experience that I enjoyed when on business in Bangalore, India. An exotic and fulfilling morning drink.
I ve only tried supermarket quality masala chai before and loved the scent, but didn t have much flavor. Now I ve tried this proper tea, it easily has become one of my favorites.
This is truly my favorite tea. I add a little almond milk and some amber crystals and I drink this in the morning and sometimes the afternoon. Like others, I think it would be better with just a little extra cinnamon, but I like it as is as well! So yummy!
This is a good tea. Not quite 'Indian culture' tasting enough for me but it was good.
This is one of the few chai blends that I have found that is spicy enough for me. I love my chai with a kick! It has a great balance of ginger and clove. Be careful not to over brew or (like any black tea) it will end up bitter.
One of our favorites, it's spicy and rich but smooth and just a great taste.
I really enjoyed this tea. It has a nice kick. The spices are great for a old snowy morning. Will buy again!
Love this tea. A great blend of cinnamon with just enough kick.
I love Chai Tea. So much so that I named my dog Chai Tea. Thoroughly enjoyed this chai. I will be buying it again.
amazing and spicy!!! love it so much with coconut milk!!!
My favorite of all the chai blends! I add fresh ground black pepper, brew it extra strong, add stevia and soy milk for a great start to my morning.
This was my favorite black chai tea from adagio's sample of chai teas. I've been drinking this tea first thing in the morning for a nice little kick of spice. I drink mine without milk or sweetener, and it tastes just lovely without it. Update: I had the sample chai again last year, and I still find the masala chai to be my favorite, even compared with the more popular Thai chai. (Dina)
I liked this tea but I was looking for a substitute for the Teavana Samurai mix and this isn t close.
This is a fine chai tea. The cloves in this are very strong, so I prefer the Raja oolong Chai.
India in a cup. Great spice mixed with honey. For a special treat blend with ice and soy milk for a delicious cold drink.
Delicious tea! Nice spice flavor to it. Delicious hot or iced with cream.
A lovely sweet and warming tea. Perfect for an afternoon break.
Best chai tea on the site. So if you like chai tea, you gotta try it sometime.
Okay not my favorite. Has a little bitter taste not as sweet as most chai's are
Add steamed milk and vanilla syrup for the best chai latte you'll ever have. It's got a deep, strong flavor, and more cloves than you can shake a stick at.
No complaints other than the steep time. 7-10 minutes is far too long for this tea. I recommend no more than 5 minutes at 212 degrees F.
A nice spicy chai, great with honey and milk. It also mixes well with other flavored teas from adagio like vanilla or cinnamon.
Very nice chai. Not too strong but still is warm and contains your favorite chai spices.
I brewed some of this Masala Chai hot and drank it and it was tasty, but I think this is really meant for making lattes with or at least mixing with some milk or cream, in my personal taste. The spices are delicious and next time I brew this, it'll be as a latte and I know it will be delicious.
This is the first Chai I have made at home. I love the fragrance. I enjoyed it both hot and cold.
This is quite possibly the perfect chai. My mom's favorite tea is chai, and this one instantly had her approval.
Love any chai teas so this one is great. Probably among my favorite fall teas.
This is an amazing Chai! I love the smell and the cinnamon taste is perfect’n
Excellent! I recommend this blend 100%! Purchasing samples is a great way to test the tea!
Similar to the maharajah chai from Teavana stronger cinnamon flavor but nevertheless a very pleasant tasty tea
I really love the spicy notes of this tea. I specifically bought it to blend with two other teas and it worked beautifully.
This is a true strong chai. It makes your toes curl as you sip, waking you up and transporting you to a place without looming deadlines or work -- it's only you and this hot cup of chai. But once you've finished, you feel awake and ready to face the day.
The only thing I wish from this chai was that it had a little bit of a sweeter aftertaste. Some chai teas have banana or licorice to smooth out the end, and this one doesn't. With a little milk and sugar it's a delight and the perfect morning blend, but for an afternoon chai, or something to relax with, I tend to wish for something with a bit softer aftertaste.
I only use a teaspoon and steep for three minutes, as I find the longer steeping makes it get bitter. If you want it stronger, (which I sometimes do), I recommend you just add more tea and leave the steeping on the shorter end.
Wasn't a big fan of the Oprah Chai but this has a clove kick to it and make a very good chai latte.
Not bad, I wish I could find a Chai that wasn't so over powered with the clove. Most of the ones i have tried are either clove strong or black pepper strong. I love the spice, but a bit more balance to the spices would be amazing.
