★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

My favorite chai - I have reordered it several times. I use 2 teaspoons per cup, 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup milk and 2 teaspoons sugar.

★★★★★

I've enjoyed this a few times on it's own. A nice combination of the spices, with nothing standing out or overpowering the tea or other flavors. I plan on making a chai latte with it next.

★★★☆☆

Had more of a woodsy taste and aftertaste than I expected.

Lovely chai! Spicey, lingers in your throat. Peppery warmth spreads through you after the first sip - this is what I imagine the Pepperup Potion in Harry Potter tastes like! Fabulous with a touch of honey and milk.

★★★★★

Super spicy and warming. This is what I think of when I think about a classic hot chai tea.

This tea may have ruined all other teas for me, because nothing else tastes as heavenly as this blend. Adagio sent this as a sample with my last order, and it was gone in a blink of an eye. I ordered some as soon as my sample was gone, and I can't wait until it arrives. A great, flavorful, fall tea.
