Masala Chai Customer Reviews

Masala chai is one of my favorite teas, but it's not my favorite tea on Adagio. I've tried this two ways: according to the directions on the sample packet I ordered, which is to use '1 heaping teaspoon per cup,' and then the way the description suggests, which is to use 2 teaspoons. The sample packet instructions resulted in tea that was a little bit too weak while, when drinking it on its own, the description instructions were a bit too strong. I imagine that the ideal probably lies somewhere between those two points if drinking it on its own, but the 2 teaspoon preparation worked perfectly for a dirty chai latte, which is what I use it for now! This is definitely a tea I'll keep on hand because of that.

I drink chai daily, and unfortunately I did not like this variety. The only note that comes through is clove. I opened the package and was taken aback by the strange smell but decided to brew it and see if I felt differently. The taste is slightly less strange, but not balanced. Because of the return process, I won't be returning it, but do feel like it is money wasted on a tea that I don't enjoy.

My go to for my morning chai. Love it chilled with some oat milk. The strong flavors wake me up and get me ready for my day.

Good strong spicy chai tea and I have a cup most mornings. Add a bit of stevia to sweeten and half and half for creamy goodness.

Warm, spicy, and rich flavor. This chai is by far the best tasting chai I have ever tried. I enthusiastically recommend you try Masala Chai if you are a chai fan. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Pretty good tea. Like it hot. Needed a little sweetener in my opinion. Not really sure how to write 100

I normally like chai, but this chai immediately was a chai that I did not like. After some investigation, I discocered that it contained ginger. I tried removing the ginger from the bled, but the flavor still was all I could taste.
If you do not like ginger like me, do not get this tea. Otherwise, it is good.

This is my everyday tea. Hot or cold, with cream or without, with rock sugar or without. Very versatile.

Delicious!! Perfect amount of spice! I enjoy this cup of tea with a little sweetener and a splash of cream.

Aww this chai remains my favorite of all the chais on this site! I use a little maple syrup and almond milk to make the perfect cup.

Absolutely delicious! I think this tea is best enjoyed with milk, brown sugar, and without a steeper. The bits of ginger that float to the top add a bit of extra flavor and are delightful to chew on.

Still the absolute best chai I have ever tried! The flavor holds up well even when the leaves are reused a second time - it's that strong. Forever fav!

I used to drink this through Teavana. I found it here and it has changed a bit in my opinion. This is one of my favorite tees has enough caffeine in it to keep me going and keep me alert and does it really make me shaky and the taste is just.

This is very similar to what I used to buy from Teavana

Its not my favorite tea and not really my flavor but if you love teas that have a spicy taste to it then you would love this. The smell of the tea is strong with cinnamon and cloves. The taste of cinnamon is slightly overpowering and I suggest using a little honey with it to dampen that flavor a bit.

I really enjoy this as a replacement for my morning coffee. A nice, spicy tea.

I love this chai. I use one teaspoon of this blended with one teaspoon of the masala chai, per 12 oz of water for my perfect spicy blend.

Great tasting chai, I prefer to do 2 steeps and add 1 teaspoon cream and a bit of honey. Perfect! Very nice spicing level.

Decent chai, but wish it was stronger. I preferred the Raja Oolong Chai.

Delicious chai! This is my favorite type of chai mix and it is very flavorful and spicy. Cozy

Very clove & cardamom forward - the flavors are better (to me) when the tea has some creamer added to it. I use this tea when I'm at the ski area & I sip it throughout from my thermos. It's a good tea, just not as flavorful as the Raja Oolong chai.

A marvelous chai with just the right amount of spice. A wonderful tea to drink in the morning.

Oh My Goodness, is what this ANCIENT Old tea is... I LOVE IT and I know you will too Delicious 😋 and Calming

This is a warm, deep and sweeter chai! It’s always a delightful cup and best pick for a chai latte make!

My go-to cup of morning tea! I love it, been drinking it as my morning beverage now for about 3 months, and I don't see that changing. Even in the summer. A classic chai was just the right amount of spiciness. I like my tea strong, so I steep it for 10 to 15 minutes, at 215°. Then I added half and half, and about a teaspoon of honey. JTs night sound like blasphemy but, Sometimes I like to add flavored syrups as well, it goes well with a lot of different flavors, but brown sugar cinnamon is my favorite.

All the flavors of a traditional chai. This chai is a powerhouse of flavor and well balanced and very smooth 🤗 highly recommended!!!

Quite spicy, a little sweet, and takes milk well. A solid masala chai. Though it's spicy enough that I personally wouldn't want to drink it with spicy Indian food, since when I eat that I generally want a drink that will wash down the burn rather than adding to it.

Not a fan of this one. I like chia tea but this one was just too much for me.

3 min steep · 212°F

Although I'm more of an Oolong fan, I do like an occassional Chai, and this one is perfect. The aroma fills the room with spiciness. Because of the higher caffeine content, I prefer it as an afternoon/ after lunch tea, especially after an Indian meal. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Chai.

perfect iced or hot. I love this gem. I like it iced best, it really has a nice cooling, pleasing feel.

This tea is great before even the first sip -- the smell is wonderful and anticipates a spicy taste. It doesn't have the sweetness of other chais, but it really warms you up.

Chai tea is by far my favorite and the Masala Chai reminds me of my favorite tea that Teavana discontinued. Glad I ordered this during February - its the perfect cup to warm up and study with🫖📑

This is absolutely the best loose chai i have ever found. Perfect balance of flavors and spices. Not too strong, just right for an everyday treat.

Great fall blend - an autumn staple to warm you up in colder months.

I've been drinking this tea for 15 years for a reason. Hits all the notes a chai should. Best enjoyed with milk and sugar.

Masala chai has a warm and aromatic aroma that invites you to relax and want to sip cup afer cup. The flavor is smooth and spicy, the Ceylon black tea base gives this blend a strong and satisfying flavor, while the cloves, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon add a touch of heat and spice to this blend, creating a fiery balance of flavors.

Masala Chai is a go-to in our household. It is great on a lazy weekend morning. One thing I like about it in comparison to the other chais we have is the hit of ginger.

I like this chai with cream, but it's not as well balanced as some of other chais I've had, with the spiciness sometimes overpowering the other flavors.

Love the warming spices, and the smell. Good on its own, even better as a latte. It’s a great afternoon pick me up on cold days.

One of my favorite Chai teas to date. I actually bought the cold brew version and am excited to try it out.

Very spicy and delicious, this tea is a great substitute for when you don't feel like making chai yourself.

This is a great Chai on its own, but I use it as an additional spicy note in the Christmas Chai. I brew this very strong with 3 teaspoons of Chai in about 6-8 oz of water. I also add about 1 tablespoon each of half&half and honey.

Heavy on the cardamom. I chose this tea because I was looking for a replacement for Teavana's 'Oprah Chai,' which I absolutely loved but which is apparently no longer anywhere to be found. Some suggested this as an alternative. It is not anything like Oprah Chai, in my estimation, but does stand as a strong chai on its own. I'd recommend steeping in milk (like authentic chai) to balance out the very heavy spices. It isn't the 'spiciness' that turns me off to this, it's the imbalance of those spices when steeped in water. Of course, add sweetener and milk or cream, if desired.

I love this Chai and it is super yummy iced with cream.

This one has quickly become a favorite of mine, and one I’m constantly repurchasing to keep enough on hand. Not too heavy on the peppercorn or ginger like some chais, but still delicious, especially with a splash of cream and brown sugar.

Excellent chai. It goes with milk better than it goes on its own—the perfect choice for someone's first chai, or for those who prefer bitter blends. The cardamom is most present in terms of flavor. If you're not fond of cardamom, pass on this one. Thankfully, I adore cardamom :)
