Severely heavy on clove. Had to drown it in honey to make it drinkable. Would not repeat.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

Severely heavy on clove. Had to drown it in honey to make it drinkable. Would not repeat.
I compared this tea with authentic masala my friend brought from India and can confirm, it's pretty similar. Therefore I like it the same as original Indian masala.
spicy. cinnamon. clove. the basic chai tea that everyone loves
This is my favorite chai on the entire site! With some soy creamer, this is truly the drink of the gods. It's so good, rebrews well, and always brings a little happiness to my mornings.
My favorite chai! Perfectly balanced spices. Great with milk.
This was ok but it was too spicy for me. My tongue actually felt a little numb or 'burned' by the spiciness. I add an equal part of milk and it helped but I prefer a much milder chai. I also added 2 teaspoons of sugar. The flavor is good just a little much on the spicy side. Maybe next time I will steep it a shorter time and see if that help tame down the 'heat'. I wouldn't order this again. I'm still in search of that perfect chai. My Mom would bring me an amazing vanilla chai latte from the coffee shop she worked at in New York. Well, I guess the quest continues...
Warm and spicy with a beautiful color to the end result of brewing. The scent itself make you envision a marketplace in India. Clove and cinnamon were the dominant notes, with a very smooth black tea in the background.
I am very impressed by this chai tea. I was looking for one similar to the kind served in Indian restaurants I have been to and this is just way better than what I have had.
I generally do not drink chai teas, but this is a good tea with milk and sugar added. It is spiced enough to make a good chai tea, but the spices are not overwhelming.
The perfect tea for when you are craving the classic chai. The exotic spices dance on your tongue and soothe your nerves.
Great with cream and sugar or plain.
absolutely wonderful aroma and color. Taste is decadent and spicy. I added a little vanilla cream to the cup and made a wonderful creamy vanilla chai tea. Absolutely delicious!
After enjoying the vanilla chai, I tried this chai tea and enjoyed it just as much.
This tea is delicious! Spicy and good, just like chai should be. Served with milk and honey, and WOW! Yummy.
This masala chai is OK. Maybe I haven't figured out how to fix it right. Steeping it in water makes it too spicy and not creamy enough (even with added cream). steeping it in hot milk makes it too weak. I will have to continue to experiment with it to see if I can make the perfect chai with this tea.
I really liked the ginger and clove in this. It made for a great cup of tea!
I love this tea. When I first opened the bag and smelled it, the clove scent was very strong, but once it was brewed, it was perfect. I used a little milk and some sweetener and it was amazing even though I may have (accidentally,of course) let it steep too long. It didn't get bitter and still tasted amazing.
I like a really strong chai and was hoping this would hit the mark. It's good but it's missing that hit of black pepper that would really take it over the top.
Chais and I do not tend to get along, usually. They tend to be far too spicy for my tastes. I have had masala chais before that weren't so strong, more on the brown-sugar and spices side rather than the clear-out-your-sinuses side. This masala is unique. It's neither very sweet nor very spicy. It's definitely a bitter tea, and since I like my teas sweet, it took a fair amount of sugar to ease the strength. For those who like bitter-strong teas, this one should be on your list to try, but if you prefer sweet-strong blends, you may want to try a different chai.
This is some tasty stuff, especially for the evening.
I've tried at least half a dozen chai teas, and this is one of my favorites. It's got a wonderful, spicey, rich flavor. I, however, only used one scoop for 8 oz of hot water instead of the recommended two, and it was perfect.
My wife and I absolutely love this tea. It is a great wind down tea good for the evening.
I LOVE chai.
It did take me a while to figure out how much tea I'll need, and how much sugar and milk I'll need to add to make the perfect cuppa for myself. Once I figured that out, oh CHAI. This one is great and chai is just great over all :)
I love chai tea in particular so I am pretty picky when it comes to chai. This was a good traditional chai. but I was expecting more of a punch, more cardamom would have made it more of my ideal chai but by far waaaay better than a silly tea bag from the supermarket - tasted much fresher as most loose teas do. It wasn't as dark as my typical chai but that's ok too.
just tried it because it got really good reviews but not a favorite for me
This is a very good blend, though not enough ginger for my taste. That will not stop me from purchasing this again. This tea is perfect with sugar, some warmed milk and a bit of pumpkin pie spice blend sprinkled on top.
This is the best chai I've ever been able to just brew at home. I've tried other chais, but none of them have ever come close. I definitely recommend this with milk and honey.
Everything a good spicy chai should be. If you haven't tried a latte with this mix, you're missing out.
I'm not a big chai drinker, but this is pretty good. Warm and toasty.
Great tasting tea - I will reorder as soon as I run out!!
I went through this one entirely too fast and I need to get more. Nice and spicy, just the thing when you want that extra little boost to your day. I love this one with honey but no cream, just to step up the spice
Good tea. Not too spicy. A lot better than competitor's chai teas. Not too peppery and a nice smooth exotic taste.
Mmmmmm.. Chai is my absolute favorite and this tea did not disappoint. Perfect blend of spices. Love this on its own or mixed with rooibos, and I tried it mixed with the lemongrass tea today and it was amazing! Definitely ordering the 16oz next time.
Great tea! Has a nice spicy flavor that's not overpowering. If you're a huge fan of chair like me, you definitely need to get this one!
This is also another one of my sample purchases. The description of what it contains sounds great. However on brewing it the taste was ok but the after taste of ginger root and clove was overpowering.
Bought a sample of this to test against another Chai (to see which one I preferred). Masala Chai won, hands down. If you LOVE cinnamon, like I do, then this is the one for you. Warm, and spicy, and cinnamon-y. Yum... but not too spicy or cinnamon-y to allow the other spices like the ginger and the cardamom to sneak through. Very good, with or without milk/sugar. Stands on it's own just perfectly.
Tasty and spicy, but a bit fiddly to balance with milk and honey to get the perfect cup. I've yet to try brewing with hot milk because I don't have any sachets or a tea ball. I'm strictly a tea pot kind of girl.
This looseleaf take on a tea I usually find in the form of a pre-mixed sugar syrup or bagged tea is the nicest I've had. The black tea is a wake up call, and the spices add a beautiful sharpness and light amount of smoke to it. It's the chai you always wanted but can't find without the sugary nonsense!
For my first taste of the Masala Chai, I was planning to have it with some milk and sugar. Sadly, there was no milk left in the fridge when it was time for me to add it to my brewed tea, but it turned out pretty good with just sugar. I cannot wait to try it again, but this time with milk. I have a feeling it will be awesome.
If you want a classic chai, this is it. It smells amazing out of the bag and the spices are warm and comforting but not overwhelming.
Good chai, but personally I like Christmas and Pu Erh Spice a bit better, as I think the flavors come out a little more in those.
Just the right amount of spice! It hits all my intellectual buttons!
My favorite chai so far. Classic chai with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger.
This is so far my favorite Chai teas. It fulfills it's name, being a 'Spiced Tea.' When I think of Chai, I think of this tea.
This tea was gone in NO time! I have a cup after lunch every day and the spices are so warm and hearty they complete my meal and give refreshing aroma to the senses. This will be a staple in my tea chest.
This isn't my favorite chai. It has a nice smell and taste but nothing really made it stand out for me. It isn't spicy at all really and it doesn't have any flavors that make it stand out for me. I'll definitely get this again though so I can try blending it with other teas.
Not as complex as I had hoped it would be, but it's still a very pleasant chai. Sugar and milk make it way better.
probably the best one i've had so far, as always easy to make
I love this tea! I tried it in the chai sampler and have since ordered a 3 oz bag. Masala chai has the perfect blend of strong black tea and spices to make any tea lover happy!
Spicier than I expected, and I loved every minute of it!
it's got a good caffeine hit, but it's way way too clove heavy for my tastes, and this seems to mask most of the other spices apart from the ginger. It got slightly better with more milk, This is a real shame as I love chai. I think I'll try brewing it slightly weaker.
Probably will not re-purchase, and will play with the timings and amounts to suit me better.
