I don't normally like black tea (too bitter). This one is no different. When I first tasted it plain, I hated it. I decided to give it a chance because I can't let a chai leave my life on a sour note. I added quite a bit of sugar and did about half milk, and it taste like the Chai lattes at Starbucks. I could drink it all day, every day. This is a black tea will be ordering again.
I like a tea where you don't have to doctor it (add a ton of sugar, milk, etc.) so I highly recommend the masala. No adding necessary, it's perfect the way it is. Just love this stuff!
Chai's have not let me down so far. This was a nice change from your standard Chai tea. Nice to have other options to taste.
A great chai! I love seeing whole spices in the mix.
This tea is so aromatic that it makes the entire house smell as though it's Christmas. In addition, the taste is excellent and just as expected. I highly recommend at least also trying some cream with the tea once.
I am used to collecting all my own spices and creating homemade chai by steeping the spices first in water and then adding the tea, and this blend very surprisingly comes very close to the deliciousness of the homemade type. I thought the spices would not be very strong because they are not allowed to steep in simmering water for a while before the tea is added, but with 2 teaspoons of sugar and a drop of milk, this chai is no chump on the tasty scale!
This is an all around good tea. Great aroma, great taste. However, for a chai, it is a bit weak in flavor. Four stars.
This is my favorite tea yet. And Adagio's rendition is just... out of this world. The clove in it... oh, so gooood. And it goes amazing with cream and sugar (or make it even better with sweetened milk)
awesome tea for fall, one of my favourites! smells great, tastes even better. good for cuddling up with a book on a rainy day :)
one of my favorite chai teas! A nice blend of spices and a good replacement for coffee in the morning. I will definitely be ordering more!
This was my favorite from the chai sampler I ordered. I'd definitely recommend it.
It's like Christmas in a cup (it's the cloves). Delightful.
Slap some ice and milk in here and you the best chai latte you can make in a few minutes.
Good amount of spice and good overall balance. Is a bit sweeter than I like though.
Nice combination of spices. New to chai teas and would drink again when needing some spice in the morning.
Very intense with tons of cloves. Good with half and half.
By far my favorite tea! It has the perfect blend of spices and flavors, and yes, black tea! I drink it every morning. I use the loose tea at home and I have the tea bags for when I travel.
This just didn't work for me. I made it fairly strong (I thought), but it was pretty bland.
Very classic chai flavor. If you want chai without the bells and whistles or added ingredients that sometimes come along with it, this is your best bet.
Not too bad when made the proper way (with milk and sugar). Plain, awful. I got the sampler and wish I had more, I'd love to experiment more with it to get the optimum taste!
I came online to order my usual white and green tea's. I love chai but for some reason it's just something I only have when I'm out at a store. The chai had good reviews and I thought, why not! I am so glad I did. It is one of the best chai's I've ever had. It has a great flavor. I'd definitely recommend!
This chai was ok but I will not be ordering it again.
Love the blend of spices, and the strength I get without bitterness. Goes nicely with milk, though I prefer it without. This is my favourite around autumn-time!
Not my favorite when I mix with my almond milk or soy milk vanilla it doesn't give me a strong flavor that I like. How ever I have this spice chai ground a little scoop and I mean little of that makes all the more better.
I don't know a single person who doesn't love this chai. I've used it with and without alcohol as a warming tea for a cold day.
Yes, please. I've been searching for a chai that my husband at which my husband won't turn up his nose as being too frilly or having an odd non-chai flavor. This one seems to do the trick. It's great on Saturday mornings with breakfast, or afternoons when you just need a little push to keep going. The flavor is a classic chai, with just the right amount of clove, which other chai teas overdo at times. Brew in milk or vanilla soy, add some honey and have at a great cup of tea, people.
I'm really hesitant with chai because I hate perfume-y teas. (I'm not a fan or Earl Grey at all.) I've had chai that was all spice and no tea power behind it- this is NOT that chai.
This was 2 tsp per cup, steeped for 5 minutes, served with organic cream and sugar. A mug of pure heaven!
An absolutely brilliant, flavorful cup of tea. Heavy on the spices, so it goes very well with milk. Has a rich aroma that sticks around for quite a while.
This is an excellent black chai tea, and you do need to use 2 teaspoons per cup to get the full spice flavor. Well worth it!
my personal favorite i ordered a pound for my dorm room for college !
I have not yet found a chai from tea bags that is as good as chai made with fresh spices. But it all depends too on what spices are used. This is about the best ready-made combination I have found, and so much easier than making it up yourself.
I enjoy this tea iced or hot. The spices aren't overwhelming and when it's hot, doesn't need cream to tame it down. I'm happy that I found this chai.
The perfect chai is hard to find, but short of mixing the spices yourself this is probably the best. Spicy enough for milk, and perfect for a cold evening.
I was really looking forward to this tea, because the 2nd ingredient listed is cardamon, and I love the flavor of cardamon. However, the other spices, particularly the clove and cinnamon, cancelled out the cardamon, so they might as well have not included the cardamon at all. It's an okay chai. I bought it with the $5 promotional coupon, so I can't complain too much. I actually think Stash's Chai you buy at the grocery store is better, and cheaper.
This is a beautiful chai both hot and iced. Its spice is perfectly balanced.
So many variety of of chai blends make it difficult to find a great one. This one is particularly addicting for me. I love this blend with milk and honey. The smell is intoxicating to me. I think this tastes great. I hope other people enjoy this tea as much as I do.
Very good chai! It's missing a little something that I can't put my finger on, but all in all its very good. I'll buy it again.
A pretty typical chai. A tad peppery for me, but I do tend to steep longer than average.
Another great chai. Good balance of spices, not too strong.
A little strong with the cinnamon but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Goes well with milk though it's enjoyable on its own. I heard online that you could steep it in milk instead of water but I wouldn't recommend it.
Quite strong cinnamon flavor, almost too much. The rest is balanced and great with milk.
This stuff is perfect with a little milk added at the end. Be sure to follow the brewing instructions as it's a little weak if you only brew one teaspoon/cup.
This is a strong flavored tea. I love the 'hot' flavor of it from the spices but it might take some getting use to if you are use to mild teas.
This is one of my absolute favourite chai teas. The only negative I have is that it just isn't spicy enough. Not that thats a bad thing though!
Still one of the best teas I've tried from Adagio
I just really did not like this tea. I should have known better, since I'm not a big black tea fan. It tasted far too bitter, regardless of how much sugar I put in it.
It's one of Adagio's best. It's a nice chai with just enough spice.
Standard, spicy masala chai. I prefer to mix this and chocolate chai to get a fuller cup.
For when I'm in the mood for a spicy tea. The Masala Chai has a good blend of black tea and spices. Steep time I use was 3 1/2 minutes.
Provides what I expect in chai tea. I'm not really a coniseur, though, and always drink it as and iced latte.
