★★★★☆
A pretty typical chai. A tad peppery for me, but I do tend to steep longer than average.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

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.
A wonderfully spicy chai with a full, robust flavor. If you like strong tea, this one is for you! With a little cream and sugar, it's absolute perfection! Plus you really can't beat the price.
Brilliant aromas and drinking experience as a whole
I'm a big fan of chai's and this Masala one is on point (plain with no sugar or milk of course). There isn't anything else to say other than it is delicious.
This is some of the best chai out there (especially for the price!) I add a little cream and sugar and I'm in heaven.
I enjoying making my own chai so I'm a little biased. I order this sample hoping to get some tea that I could enjoy within a few minutes rather than having to make mine from scratch. This is a good tea don't get me wrong, but it unfortunately just doesn't compare with homemade.
This is a fantastic chai! It's the perfect blend of spice and black tea. as well as being terrific both hot or iced. Wonderful!
Good tea but just a bit too spicy/strong for my taste.
Aromatic and flavorful. My go-to tea as it tastes delicious regardless of beginning water temperature and takes a long bit of steeping to go bitter.
This is wonderful, full tasting that a black tea should have. Not as much cinnamon as other Masala I've tasted(teavana), but still all the right spices. I'll order this as my main tea in the future. I make full pot in the Breville one-touch, used 8 teaspoons tea, 12 rock sugar in the basket, made 1200ml of tea. Came out perfect for me.
One of the best spiced chais that I have tasted and I have tried quite a few. A great balance between the bright ceylon tea flavor and the spice. If you like it strong than brewing it for 10 minutes is a must.
Amazing chai sampler - very bold whole spices, generous samples with several cups worth of each pack. My favorite is the standard Masala, I steep it and then add espresso for an extra kick, and frothy milk and honey. The Thai chai is a close second, such an unusual balance, the lemongrass adds a great zing, amazing flavor and balance. Love this sampler!
Powerful full flavor, really crisp but, smooth flavor!
I cold brewed this overnight in unsweetened coconut milk and it tasted very good. I think this is going to be my new way to get my calcium.
This is my favorite Chai from anywhere. When I brew it in the office I always get comments from coworkers saying how great it smells.
This is a good masala chai, but it doesn't always reach the strength I want with just a single bag. I always preferred a heavy hit of spice.
I'm a long time chai enthusiast and this one is up there among available loose brands.
Very tasty and has a nice fragrance. Would recommend to my friends and other tea drinkers.
Not a bad tea, just not exactly the flavor I was expecting.
Even if you are into these special spicy teas, this one is not a good example of them. I will not recommend it and/or reorder it.
i really like the masala chai! the spices blend together quite nicely, but it is not as flavourful as i might have imagined. still a great tea.
Okay. Feels a void. Will have to try with milk as mentioned in some reviews.
Quite a sharp chai--it's not quite what I was looking for.
Very nice classic chai. There's actually not quite enough tea in it for me, so I mix it with another black tea.
Always a fan of chai, especially this one! I use this tea to make my own chai tea latte's and I'm digging it. (I use almond milk and stevia vanilla drops and it's better than Starbucks!)
One of my all time favorite chai cups! Delicious, with the best chai flavor of all the Adagio chai blends.
Ooh, I absolutely love this tea. It's got just the right amount of spice, and it's great with or without milk and/or sugar. It's perfect!
It smells like christmas. It has an okay flavor but has kind of a bitter after taste. With a little honey it is not bad at all.
Very good tea. Nice 'spicy' scent and wonderful cinnamony flavor.
Very earthy and well-rounded. It has a deep warmth to it that goes well with a subtle fire.
Delicious and balanced. Not too spicy - goes well with milk.
Not terrible, but not great either. It appears to have a good mixture of spices (masala), but brews a lot weaker than I would expect. I wonder if grinding the spices into smaller chunks would work. If I had the time, I'd combine the Assam with my own spices instead.
This chai blend was okay. I ordered just the sample, which I am glad I did. I will drink the rest of what I ordered, but I don't think I would buy it again. There was nothing special about it, and I could go to the local grocers and buy much for the same price.
Solid chai flavor, really fun to brew up and drink with some soy milk.
Iced, this chai hits the spot! Great blend of chai flavors blend amazingly well with the Ceylon base. I brew half masala chai with an equal amount of Ceylon Sonata for a refreshing summer everyday tea.
I love this tea. I always drink it with some vanilla creamer added in and it is wonderful. Best chai I have ever had.
New tea, which I am adding to my all star list of favorite teas!!!
powerful and delicious, just enough spice, definitely keeps me awake
