I bought Masala Chai, Irish Breakfast, and Rooibos Nutcracker in large 16 oz packs, because i think smaller sample packages loose their taste and aromatic qualities. I was disappointing with all three teas.
Masala Chai is basically a bag filled with Cloves, and except cloves you taste almost nothing else. Real letdown.
I love this chai. Lots of yummy spices and a great aroma.
I love Chai teas this was has a good flavor bold but not overpowering
Tasty chai! Need to try with steamed milk at some point, but for now as a black tea it's still lovely.
Used as part of an experiment to recreate Teavana Chai/Chai Blend. 1:1:1 Samurai Mate//Masala Chai//Raja Oolong Chai creates a very close recreation with its own unique nuiances. Experiment success.
Strong and spicy, just the way I like it! This tea smells divine and can be double-steeped without a discernible loss of flavor. I like it served with just a little bit of raw sugar.
An excellent all-around chai; the different spices are balanced well and don't fight the black tea base. Wonderful on cold days, to make you feel warm all over.
It s got a really strong spice flavor that was a bit overbearing, so be careful how long you let it steep.
I ve purchased this several times. I just love all of the chai tea options, but this one is a particular favorite.
This chai is good, but not my favorite. Add vanilla soy milk for a nice sweet touch. Still think the Thai Chi is better.
Really quite tasty! Consistent cups, forgiving if you over or under steep. Much better than their Thai chai, IMO.
Tastes good on its on, or add a tea spoon of it to your favorite black tea.
Great eastern flavor to this tea. Always happy with quality
this chai had a great flavor and aroma without coming across as being too powerful or upsetting my stomach, which has happened with some other chai teas. it was wonderful
Probably my favorite tea from Adagio. Warm cinnamon flavor. Love it!!
A delicious Chai tea, it is full bodied, the smell alone is amazing! Highly recommend
Really good, just enough spices and really great flavor!
Found it to be delicious when steeped right, but can taste like potpourri if steeped for too long. I use about a teaspoon and a half per cup and steep for 7 mins.
This is a great tea for the Christmas season, the spices have great holiday scent.
A decent chai. I want more variety of spices. This has a flatter flavor than the masala chai I made with masala spice mix from my indian supermarket, but it's still good.
This is going to be a great Christmas gift. I have never purchased anything from Adagio that my wife and I have not liked.
I love chai teas so I’m biased but this one is especially good. Great on its own or with milk.
A solid chai tea. Has a bit of a kick ei th the spices but is not too overwhelming.
This tea doesn't rank as a favorite for me. But it is a very good tea. 203F is boiling at my altitude. I didn't play around much with brew times. I just followed the bags instructions.
This is going on my wishlist for a big ol bag. It s nice and spicy, but in a cinnamon way, not in a kill you with peppercorn way like a certain coffee establishment one could mention. Lovely with cream and sugar. I add three minutes if I use the leaves a second time, but I think it s a little bitter (but I m sensitive to bitter- spoonful of sugar is a valid life hack which solves many problems).
This is my fav Masala Chai. I'm obsessed with it.
One of my favorite chai's! Yummy, spicy, but not too strong.
This is a good chai. Mild spice. This is a good alternative to black tea.
looooved is my favorite chai ever.perfect flavor combination
Good chai tea. Strong flavors, as any chai should be.
This is a good staple chai, but I find it to be bitter sometimes even with short steeps. I usually blend this one with Rooibos Vanilla Chai or Honeybush Vanilla to round out the flavor and make it less bitter
My favorite Chai, robust and nuanced. Add a bit of rock sugar or honey and a splash of cream.
I didn't care for this tea. The spices, maybe cloves, were very overpowering. It just wasn't what I was looking for.
It has been a couple of years since I've order from adagio and I have to say the tea is still top quality. The Masala Chai is jam packed with spices which sooth your winter blues.
I got this as a free sample from adagio, and I was so pleased that I went and bought more immediately after. I love it.
This tea has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and not just in the fall. It is robust, with a strong taste of cloves, which I love. It is even more delicious when paired with Hot Cinnamon Spice. Yum!
Not bad for a chai tea. But nothing special. Bit disappointing.
Very solid cup of chai. Spicy and slightly apple cider-y.
This was a gift for my mother, but she loved it. Easy to brew and great smell.
I fell in love with this when I got a sample a few shipments back. Best of all, I got my little brother to like it too! And he is NOT a tea fan. It goes excellent with some sugar and 2% milk. Highly recommended.
Very good tea! Has a spicy and warm flavor. Good for cold mornings.
a really good tea!! perfect for the colder days coming up
This chai had just the right balance of spice to tea flavor for me. That being said, it has a bit of a kick to it.
I could not believe how much I enjoyed this tea! After receiving a free sample in October, I brewed with suspicion, assuming I would hate it. Oh how wrong I was! Upon opening the pouch, you get the strong sent of cinnamon and clove. The aroma is only made more potent as the tea steeps. The finished product is a strong and spicy drink that reminds me strongly of the holidays. I do believe that mixing with cream is the optimal way to drink this tea and it has now become my goto tea for when I want something with cream. I ve also steeped this tea directly in steamed cream and the results are incredible! Adagio s chai is a quick way to get a cafe style tea at home.
Love this!!! Lovely spiced tea. Clove, cinnamon, Christmas, fall- just a perfect tea. Strong flavor, not for those that like a weak tea. My absolute fav!
Definately have this with warm milk. It makes the chai taste so much better.
The amount of spice contained in the Chai is great. I use the masala chai to blend with other teas such as tulsi to provide a little kick.
Have been enjoying chai teas this fall. This one is especially good, as it is a great balance of black tea with the cinnamon and clove flavors, not over-bearing.
As soon as you open the bag the aroma of the tea overwhelms you (in a good way). Very spicy, very chai.
I love a good Chai and this one is one of the better blends I've tried. Very well balanced with a good amount of spice, but not too much.
