★★★★★

The blend of spices in this tea are wonderful. The most important ingredient in the finest chai latte I've ever made!

★★★★☆

This is some good stuff. I had originally gotten this as a free sample, and am proud to proclaim that I WILL be buying more of this. I brewed it at first for a few minutes in boiling water, then added quite a bit of milk and let it sit for a few minutes. Even before I added the honey I loved it. The honey brought out even more flavor. My favorite tea from Adagio so far.

(Updated review:) The last batch I got had far too many cloves, and the taste of clove was too dominant.

This is wonderful with some modification. It is similar to my own recipe I have made for years, but it is much more convenient than making chai from scratch, which can be a somewhat labor-intensive task. It lacks the hot peppery dimension I crave in chai. I therefore grind some fresh black pepper into the tea before adding boiling water (ten turns of my pepper mill per 8-ounces of water). I'm happiest with brewing it with two heaping teaspoons per 8 ounces of water, but I allow the infusion to sit in a French press pot for 10 minutes instead of the recommended 5. I add a small splash of heavy cream to modify any bitterness resulting from the longer infusion, and depending on my mood, I may or may not add a bit of sugar. Very good without sweetener.

traditional chai that is a great pick me up for anytime.

★★★★☆

Good blend of masala spices and black tea. Great with a dash of milk and honey.

★★★★☆

I'm so-so on a lot of chais but this one is pretty tasty. It definitely has a strong flavor but can be diluted with some milk. A perfect cup for a cold day.

★★★★★

Got this tea as a free sample and I'm so glad I did. It is lovely.

★★★★★

This is an absolutely delicious chai! It has a nice blend of spices that create a very smooth, almost creamy chai instead of a spicy one. One of my favorite teas from adagio.

★★★★★

This is a much spicier tea than I was expecting, but with a very rich flavor!

★★★★★

Such a great standard chai! I'm so excited to have a big bag!

★★★★★

The quintessential chai. Try it hot with a small spoon of brown sugar, or add ice and plenty of coconut milk for a cold treat.

★★★★☆

One of my favorite chai teas. This is the perfect fall and winter tea.

★★★★☆

This is a very spicy, tasty tea with a delicious aftertaste. It would be delicious in a chai latte - will try that next time. Be careful not to oversteep this tea!!

★★★★★

This tea is wonderful in the morning with a hint of milk or cream for even more richness.

★★★★☆

This is a good blend. I found we had to be careful with brew times on this one too. But if you watch time and drain completely you can get a repeat brew - adding an extra couple minutes brew time for the second pass. Nice blend.

★★★★★

This is my favorite chai. I order it pretty frequently.

★★★★★

Chai is my favorite tea of all time, hands down. This has passed the test, great chai!

★★★☆☆

This was the first chai that I ever tried, and it was alright. I brewed a cup and it wasn't horrible, but I only had a few sips before I forgot about it. Good if you like cinnamon and spices though!

★★★★☆

Wife really loves it. Great spices and tea flavor.

★★★★★

I am a converted chai drinker. I didn't care for chai, didn't want to drink chai before. This tea is some kind of strong, but it's supposed to be, and it's absolutely divine with milk. All the spices in the spice orchestra can be heard, and none are stealing the show. Because really, it's not about any of the individual spices with their spice rivalries and their spice drama, it's about the symphony of flavor that they work together to create.

★★★★★

I loved the cinnamon and spicy smell of the masala chai tea! Tastes great with sugar! The only chai teas that I have liked are this one and the chai from the Chicago collection. Thank You!

★★★★★

delicious. one of my favorite chai teas. nicely spiced.

★★★★★

A nice spicy tea that goes great with cream and sugar.

★★★★★

This was everything I could want in a chai tea!!!

★★★★☆

This chai has a lot of clove flavor to it. Which I personally love. Good body and lots of spice - everything I want in my chai.

Hands down, the best chai I have ever had! It's got a warm clove and cinnamon body with a hint of pepper. Simply devine!

I love this tea. It is perfect with a little honey and almond mile.

★★★★★

I loved this chai! It was so good and flavorful. I mixed it with some milk and it tasted awesome.

★★★★★

This is my favorite tea! I would highly recommend it.

★★★☆☆

Love the taste, but hate how this tea clogs my strainer. I hesitate to make it because of this, though I'm always happy with the taste.

★★★★☆

I love this tea and I will always have some of it around. The spices are perfect and this same blend is so expensive at other retailers!

★★★★☆

I really enjoyed this tea. Wish it were a little spicier but great for my morning cup of black tea

★★★★★

Comfort in a cup. I like to steep mine in milk or half water then add half milk later.

★★★★☆

A nice, smooth flavor. My only complaint is the amount of tea that is recommended per cup. Using two heaping teaspoons, this tea can disappear quite quickly, but the low cost makes this more acceptable.

★★★★☆

Nice. Added a little Darjeeling to it and it made a wonderful spicy cup.

★★★★☆

I was really hoping for a more biting spice level with this tea. something that really cried out for milk and sugar. I love the Double Spice Chai from Stash and was hoping this would be comparable, but this was pretty mellow. Still a sold chai, though. good spice balance.

★★★★☆

This was a tasty tea. I prepared it in the traditional Indian manner. While I did enjoy it, I didn't like it as much as Chocolate Chai. It was too spicy for my taste.

Although if you like spicy teas, you will enjoy this one.

★★★★★

The sweet taste up front and the spicy zingy aftertaste are excellent!

★★★★☆

It is a relatively generic chai tea. I like chai, but I prefer some of the odder chais like the Thai Chai. If you like chai you will like it, it just isn't 'different.'

★★★★☆

I'm not a huge fan of chai, but I got this for my mom who is. She loved it and even I like it. The base tea is so wonderful that the augmentation of the spices is lovely and just the right amount.

★★★★★

This is one of my favorite teas. It's a great chai, rich and thick and perfect in the morning. I drink most of my tea without sugar or milk, and this chai holds up well without either. This is my favorite pick me up for those mornings that just drag on.

★★★★★

I really like the mix of spices. I add a spoon of honey. Really warming on a cool morning.

★★★★☆

Good tea, I make it like someone else suggested...steep for two minutes, add 1 cup of milk (to the 1 cup of water I steeped in already), heat back up and simmer for 5 minutes then add honey.
It's really good although the flavor is a bit weak, I use 2 teaspoons, the directions suggest 2 teaspoons per cup so I might need to up that to 4 teaspoons. I'll probably try that next time and update.
Overall it's worth a buy if you like chai tea, I'll be purchasing it again

UPDATE:
So I did go ahead and use 4 teaspoons instead of 2 (since I'm really doing 2 cups of liquid) and the flavor is a lot more pronounced. Great tea, really enjoy this with milk and honey!

★★★★☆

This was my first time trying a chai tea and I had no idea what to expect. But it quite good. I will keep experimenting to find out what mixes work best for my taste.

★★★★☆

It's hard to find a good chai that isn't a bag of unidentifiable spice bits and black tea with a few chunks in it, and this is very good - big chunks of whole cloves, full of good flavor, and it doesn't leave a black ring of spice/tea dust on my counter when I add it to my strainer.

★★☆☆☆

I really wish I had liked this tea more than I did. I was so excited to try it and the tea in the pouch smelled WONDERFUL, but I was quite disappointed in the flavor. For me, the cinnamon and cloves were far too overpowering.

★★★★★

While I haven't ordered many teas from this site, this is by far my favorite. I've always loved chai, but this tea exceeded my expectations. I only ordered a sample size, but I will definitely be ordering much more in the future.

★★★★★

This is a spicy, hearty tea that helps curb your appetite. I make it by the 6 cup pot full and then add some to a water bottle for drinking when lunch time gets close.

Good for helping you fight the snack urge, and we've all read how healthy spices are - a winner in my book!

★★★★★

Heavenly, just the right amount of spice. My husband isn't a big tea drinker but really enjoys this.
