I am not a big fan of Chai, but got this for a friend who likes chai teas. It is not that the tea was bad, but...a matter of my taste verses a chai loves taste!
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

I'm not sure chai teas will ever be my favorites, but this one is pretty darn good, just the same. If you love chai, you'll enjoy this.
Rich and spicy, a good cup, brew time 5 minutes at full boil.
Great flavor, really nice spice to this tea. No added sweetener necessary.
This stuff is great if you know how to make it the right way. This might be common knowledge, who knows, but I really recommend not using nonfat or lowfat milk with this tea. It just waters it down and then you've ruined a potentially great cup of tea. Also it really helps to add the milk in while brewing the tea over heat.
One of the best chais I've ever had. A lot of flavor and spice.
So far, this my favorite tea. I really never liked food flavored with clove, (ham) but it blends well with the other spices in this tea and the smell couldn't be beat...
Good hot or iced. also have used it as a base for fruit smoothies instead of water or milk.
I love this chai! Strong, sweet, and a bit spicy, I like to drink it as-is, as well as with a bit of soy milk and honey.
This is a fantastic Chai tea. In most Chai teas that I've tried, one flavor (Either Clove, Cardamom, Cinnamon, or Anise) stands out and overpowers the others. In this one, however, Ive found that each flavor is perfectly balanced. Definitely will buy again.
I am luke warm on chai anyway, so this is fine...a little too much ginger for me. Others would probably love it.
Trying a lot of different varieties. This one was excellent!
Excellent traditional chai flavor. Best when sweetened with sweetened condensed milk (traditional indian chai) and frothed vigorously, serve warm. Be aware - if you like it strong, you will be using 3-4 tsp per cup, so order accordingly.
Added 1t of sugar. Not the biggest fan of chai tea, but it is pleasant.
I really enjoy this tea.I have tried many supermarket varieties and always find them lacking in flavor.I purchased the masala chai and am enjoying it.The tea leaves are large and provide a hearty cup of tea in each pour.I can usually get two cups per bag which makes the purchase more economical. I will be repeating my purchase of Adagio teas.
A full-bodied chai. Great on its own or as a latte, though I found that as a latte it needed sugar or it tasted a bit bitter. Still a great chai staple.
My husband and I absolutely love this Chai. It is a great blend, not too much spice, but be sure to steep for a minimum of 4 minutes to get a full flavor. If a more milder chai is wanted, we've steeped for 3 minutes and it has been great.
I love how this has just the right amount of spice. Perfect with a bit of sweetener and almond milk.
I really enjoyed masala chai! It has just the right amount of spice. Be careful not to oversteep it, though! I find that about three minutes gives a balanced flavor!
I usually really like chai, but this one is very strong when using the directions on the pouch. I only use half the directions and mix with an oolong and have gotten good results that way.
One of my favorite teas on the entire site! Good on its own, even better in a homemade latte. I can't keep it in my stores for long at all.
I tried a chai before and I did not like it so I was very apprehensive about trying it again. I gave masala chai a try and I must say not all chai's are the same, I really like masala chai! I like the spicy and tangyness of it. I must say this and Earl Grey Bravo are my go to flavors. I've even mixed them together and enjoyed it.
This is now my go to. I will be ordering LOTS more of this.
First time I steeped the tea at 212 for 5 mins and the cloves were much too strong for my taste. Second time 212 for 3 mins, added honey and milk and the cloves weren't as strong.
Mixed this tea with coconut and like anything with coconut, it was out of this world!
This is the perfect blend of spices and black tea.
This tastes absolutely marvelous! I've been looking for a good chai that tastes beautiful, and this is it.
Excellent chai! Perfect! I love the flavors in this- I have several flavored chais and I really like this one for when I don't want something that tastes like something else. Very spicy but not hot (like moriartea) or apple-sweet (like the spiced apple chai). Love it!
Great traditional Chi. Loved it and will buy again.
This is the best chai I have ever had! It has a nice clove tang to it and is easily customized with milk and sugar. I use goat's milk slightly warmed and xylitol.
This masala chai is sooo delicious..>_> I mean really I need to buy a bigger bag. When brewed perfectly and paired with vanilla almond milk, its like a dream in your teacup. The only thing that lets you know your not dreaming is that wonderful spicy burn you feel in your throat. Fantastic!
One of my favorite Chai teas. I feel like Chais often get diluted if you brew them in water instead of milk, but this one holds up well with a touch of raw honey and whole milk on top. Really classic flavor. I would maybe like a touch of black pepper, but I realize that's not for everyone.
I personally dislike chai flavors, but my friend who I got this before raved over this tea. He said it was the best hot chai he's ever had and cannot recommend it more highly. If you like spiced chai, this is the blend to get.
I love the spicy taste of this tea. Great on a cold winter night, when you want to snuggle up in a blanket and read a good book.
I really enjoyed this chai. There is just something great about the spicy aroma that is great on a cool day!
A little too flowery - cut with unflavored black tea
I loved this one! I heated some milk on the stove and let it steep for a while, added some sugar, and then strained it. Delicious.
I love Masala Chai. however, this version was somewhat subdued. Usually Masala Chai is strong and vivacious, but this just had a slight taste of cloves--not bad mind you, but not great.
For months, this was my morning tea at work. I'd order the teabags and stash them in my desk. It's just perfect with two packets of Splenda to sweeten it up. The water dispenser at work produced water well below boiling - and the boiling point here is already pretty low at around 205-207F! - hence the temperature I listed.
If you prefer a spicier chai, then this probably isn't for you, because this has no kick compared to others I've tried. On the other hand, that's what I love about it! This is the only chai I've had that I really enjoyed.
This tasted much better when I ordered it in the sampler, almost like a different tea. Not sure why this is.
This one was a bit surprising I did like it though and may buy a bigger size later. Either second or third in order rating the chai flavors.
This is a very good breakfast tea. The spices are well balanced
a great blend of black teas, cardamom, ginger root. goes great with a splash of milk and raw sugar/honey. I drink this daily!
This is the best masala chai I have ever had. As a former addict of Starbucks variety, I am now able to make it at home whenever I want a cup. It has just the right amount of spice and with a little added milk, it's perfect.
This is my favorite chai tea. It's a classic chai and the taste is great.
The Masala Chai is great if you love a basic chai tea. I tried several varieties in store like the Chocolate Chai, but decided to just go with a more plain chai. For me, this has enough flavor as it is. Highly recommended for those who love hot chai.
Chai tea is one of my biggest loves. Sometimes I like it made with sugar and milk, but more often I like it just black. I found that adding a bit of the Cream flavored tea to it took off the edge of the strong flavor when I made it black.
I love this tea! My sisters and I often go out for tea, and now we can make a nice cup from home (for a fraction of the price). I usually pair it with a splash of milk and a bit of honey for sweetness.
I love this tea!! It is a nice strong spicy chai.
We buy this by the pound, drink it iced and hot, sweetened or unsweetened, with or without milk. Never heard anything but good things when I serve this chai. Try it, you'll like it!
