Masala chai is great chai! It is very strong and spicy which I really like. It is very similar to the chai I loved before I got into loose leaf tea, which is Celestial Seasonings India Chai Decaf. However, I like the Rooibos Vanilla Chai just as much, it's just as spicy with a touch of vanilla, but it has no caffeine! So, if you don't care about caffeine and want a delicious chai, this is certainly it! I add truvia and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar free coffee mate. Delicious!
Never one to let you down. Can turn a rainy day into a comfy day and a sunny day into a perfect day. pairs well with most spicy foods as well.
Good with a packet of stevia and about a 1/4 cup of creamer.
This is my other favourite out of the chai collection. Rooibos being the other. It's my go to tea if I'm craving something with a little more umph and a little extra energy to get through the day. I prefer this one with milk but it's great just on its own too.
I bought this for a friend who is a chai tea drinker. She is very picky about her tea and absolutely loves it. I have yet to try it.
It is awesome! Particularly the hint of cardamom and cloves
It's hard to make this chai taste bad. It's your quintessential masala chai, and it's exactly what it advertises. Spicy and great with a bit of cream.
I did not really care for the taste of this chai. I did not like the flavor- the flavors I am used to in a chai did not work in this tea.
Spicy and sweet. Makes the whOle room smell wonderful. Very warming flavor. I add milk but with sugar it doesn't need milk.
If you're looking to make authentic tasting masala chai without having to go through the trouble of blending your own spices, this is a pretty good base. I would definitely recommend throwing in some straight black tea leaves, because the spice to tea ratio is a little too high. It's also a little too clove-y for my taste, so I'd add some extra cardamom to counteract that, but that's a matter of personal preference. Boil the tea in a pot with a 1:1 ratio of water to milk until it is a nice dark milk tea color for best results. Again I must emphasize that you should add extra plain black tea to the pot.
It's a smidge heavy on the cloves but still really good. Sometimes I will blend it with black tea.
I like the Thai chai better but this one is pretty good
Good ol' Masala Chai. You can never go wrong with this one.
good masala, full of spices, tastes and smells good
One of my favorites because of the heavy spice flavor.
Nice chai taste, worked better as a hot tea then iced.
Perfect chai tea. Very good balance of the spices.
Great tea. I prefer my Chai's to be almost overwhelmingly spicy, but this tea strikes a nice balance.
Very tasty chai! Be sure to add milk, though. I'll definitely be buying more.
Great traditional Chai. Just enough pep in the mix without the jitteryness.
For a straight up chai this is basically top shelf. Strong, doesn't mess around.
This is the way chai is supposed to taste: complex and spicy. It's not a subtle chai blend by any means. The cinnamon and clove are upfront on the nose and in the finish. Lovely with a touch of cream or coconut pieces added in.
I like the spiciness of this tea and can add it to my plant-based mild as a latte
Really yummy tea! I added quite a bit of milk and sugar, that's the way I like chai.
I bought this tea for my husband because he prefers spicy chais. He is enjoying it.
Seems a bit weak to me, spices are nice, I just wish it was more powerful.
Really nice chai, spice could be a touch stronger, but is certainly much better than the new 'Oprah chai' that is all SB stocks now.
This is a nice tea. I wish the flavors were a little more pronounced, but It's pretty good. I've read some reviews that say you should simmer it with milk instead of just steeping it. I'll try that, and see if I like it better.
Chai tea with many spices, but heavier on the clove than previous chai teas I have tried.
One of the better chais you will find. I always have some on hand.
A great tea for sharing in the office because the aroma brings people to the door asking what's being brewed today?
Very strong spicy smell and flavor. The addition of cinnamon and cardamom really warm up the tea. Added with some milk and a little sugar it's perfect for those cold winter mornings!
Great Spicy chai...Strong enough to be flavorful with milk added.
Nice, classic chai. Not much to say. You know what to expect, and you'll get it rest assured.
It is amazingly delicious. I love how it is spicy and intense.
Everything you expect a good chai tea to have. Good depth in flavor.
My favorite tea so far at Adagio! Just the right amount of spice to warm you up on a cold winter's day!
It's a chai tea. Not very outstanding in any way to set it apart from other chai tea blends offered by other brands. It gets the job done I suppose.
Is there a rating better than 'great'? Cus this tea needs a rating of stupendous.
What a great cup of tea for a cold New England night. A must to add sugar and milk. I felt the need to brew a min or two longer.
This tea was pretty good. Not as strong as I was hoping but I'd order it again.
I love that this tea has a bit of bite to it. Great tea for blending!
Outstanding masala chai. Tastes just as good as the kind I make when I buy assam tea and masal spice at the indian grocery. highly recommended.
I love a good chai, but unfortunately this chai is only ok.
This is one of my FAVORITES, and I drink a lot of tea. It's more expensive, since you have to use twice as much per cup, but it's WORTH it. I use honey for a particularly rich treat!
The spectrum of chai is quite wide. This one falls somewhere in the middle. not too spicy, not very tea-forward. Great with milk, of course.
mix with english or irish breakfast tea or mix with vanilla
This is a Great Masala chai. Pretty well balanced spices, although I did get a bit to much clove a few times, but i'm Still experimenting with the perfect steep time.
I love the spices in a chai. Try this with a little milk or with a little Irish cream liquor .)
This chai is delicious, slightly spicy, and very bold. Not my favorite but delicious nonetheless.
