It's a tiny bit too peppery for my taste, but otherwise it's a nicely flavored chai tea and the best combination of flavors of all the loose-leaf chai tea brands that I've tried. I like it best when simmered in water and sugar on my stovetop, with milk added just to boiling and then strained into my teacup.
This is one of my favorites. The flavors are great. It doesn't have that artificial taste like other chai teas.
Loved this selection. Very good flavor. I add a bag to an 80 ounce bottle with ice and water and drink all day.
Fantastic blend of spices! This is my favorite go-to tea!
Awesome, awesome tea. This is the perfect blend to warm you up on freezing winter days.
A great level of spice and sweetness. A very soothing winter aroma. Add a bit of milk and half a teaspoon of sugar to make it shine, or just have it black if you want something with a nice spice/burn.
Love this! I'm kind of picky about chai, and this is exactly what I like. Plenty of cinnamon. I drink it black and love it any time of day, particularly when it's chilly out.
This tea mixed with the cinnamon tea is my favorite cold weather tea.
My daughter is a huge chai fan I ordered this for her. I have heard no complaints and was asked to order it again.
I haven't had a cup of chai in a long time, and the last time I did it was a latte. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this tea. Makes for a good evening tea!
Way too much cinnamon flavoring, that It tasted artificial!
I love this chai! It has a great balanced flavor!!
I wanted to try this Masala Chai because another company that I use to order it from, no longer sells it. It just was ok. I think there was too many spices in this version of Masala Chai for my liking.
I was hoping this tea would change my mind about chai in general, but it's just not my cup of tea. As far as chai goes, it seems like a winner for those who enjoy that style of tea.
This tea smells and tastes great. its perfect for a cold afternoon.
Nice mild flavor! Nice afternoon tea and not overpowering.
The perfect traditional chai. It is fantastic with just the right about of spice to tea.
This Chai is awesome! I has hoping to get a chai that was authentic and well balanced, and that is definitely Adagio's masala chai!
The suggested 2 heaping tsp per 8oz water was a little strong for my taste, so I dialed it back to 1-1 1/2 tsp per 8oz water. Delicious! Fresh brewed chai is way better than those chai concentrates at the store. :)
UPDATE: This is still (years later) my favorite chai, and now my 4 year old son is equally as in love. We have to buy the 16oz bag and it is well worth the money!
I really enjoyed this chai - especially when brewed longer and combined with a little vanilla almond milk and a drop of sweetener. Rich, comforting, and made my office smell amazing. Will order again!
I have been an Adagio customer for many years. I have used the Chai teas for a few years now. I use with cinnamon stick and enjoy it a lot. I have also infuse this tea with the Thai Chai for a different experience
I love this tea. It is a wonderful pick me up in the morning, and unlike some chai I have tried in the past, it isn't weak when properly steeped.
Spicy, sweet, delicious...everything a chai ought to be, without all the extra fat and sugar of a coffee shop chai.
I just love chai so much and this classic Indian blend is no exception.
Nice flavor and smell. Is just a bit bitter so watch the time of brewing.
I'm a huge chai fan and this is by far the best chai I've ever tasted! I only got a sample of this because I'm so picky and I'll definitely be putting in a much larger order for more very soon!
I enjoy this tea when making chai lattes! Very good. Not too spicy.
A wonderful tea with just the right amount of spice. I would have liked it to be a bit less gingery, but the ginger flavoring isn't overpowering.
Very spicy and tasty, I've learned what I already suspected, I don't like flavored tea. lol. Giving the rest of my bag away, also a warning I still smell this tea in my infuser a week later. I would use a separate brewing device or bags if your just going to experiment with this tea.
Love the spice mix. Very comforting flavor. Nice to have in front of the fire.
This is probably my favorite tea. It has a perfect balance of flavor and is especially amazing when made with milk and sugar.
Fragrant and spicy chai. Have been looking for awhile for a chai with robust flavor, this fits the bill. Highly recommend
Best chai tea I've had yet. I think the brand I got from my sister as a present was called Nuni? Nuni was very watered down compared to Adagio's. I can drink this with condensed milk or by itself. Will definitely buy again.
Experimented with the steeping time. I did not use the 2 full tsp and used soy milk instead of milk. It was a perfect cup of tea for me an much less expensive than the other brands for me.
A very good chai tea. Strong flavors but I need to experiment more with steeping times. I'm liking the Thai chai more than the masala. Will update again after more exploration.
This tea had the perfect amount of spice, do wish the tea was a bit stronger.
It took me a little bit to figure out the dynamics of this tea. Once I looked up traditional brewing methods, and added a lot of sugar and half-and-half, I LOVED this tea! I'd never gotten brewed spiced chais to taste like the prepared teas or concentrates, but once I got the milk and sugar amounts right, it was perfect. A new favorite!
My favorite chai! I love this tea! The blend of spices is perfect. It is flavorful and full-bodied, but not too sweet, just what I want in a chai.
This is another great tea and I just love it! If you have never tried a chai you should try this one.
i brew this chai at work when i need some caffeine. the spices are just right. i love it with almond milk! :)
This chai is very smooth. It has a great aroma and tastes great mixed with a little milk. My only critique would be that I wished it would be a little stronger. But very solid chai tea.
Chi is by far my favorite tea blend and v the masala is a continual reorder.
This is a really good, basic, no-frills chai with a very nice blend of spice.
Very disappointed - too much pepper - the pepper masked any spices in it. NO ONE LIKED IT!
It smells wonderful. The flavor profile is good, but I felt it needed to be more spicy. Perhaps more steeping time in the future.
My favorite chai blend! Best of all the different types I've tried, on and off adagio. Rich, smooth blend of spices.
This is a powerful chai. I drink it in the am to get going. I add milk and honey. I make a second cup with the same leaves from the first cup to get a flavorful but less potent cup of tea. A little of this tea goes a long way.
I loved this tea! It's very flavorful and wholesome. It has a soft cinnamon taste with the masala tea behind it. I definitely recommend it.
I love a good chai, and this one definitely fits that description. Like all good chais, it works great as a latte, but it holds its own without milk too. Wonderful tea.
I use a heaping tablespoon and steep for 12 minutes for a spicy cup of tea and finish it off with milk and sugar. All other brands of chai taste watery in comparison.
By far my favorite. A staple in my collection of teas.
