I really like this one - very addictive. A great, first thing in the morning drink!
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

I really like this one - very addictive. A great, first thing in the morning drink!
Solid chai, given that it is pre-blended. A nice balance of spices. Great to make at double strength and then combine with steamed milk for a chai latte.
I was using tazo chai tea before I found adagio, and wow, what a difference. Adagio's chai is much stronger, and frankly, just all around better. This chai makes great lattes.
Very good, strong cinnamon taste. I would drink it again, but I do prefer the Thai Chai because of it's softer taste.
I have tried this several times and think that perhaps I just am not a huge fan of 'traditional' chais... Each time I brewed this the ginger was the most pronounced flavor, and almost overpowered everything else. This isn't a bad tea, by any means... just not one I enjoy.
An awesome chai! Very deep rich aroma and taste, goes really great with milk!
I just reordered this tea. This tea has some extra kick to it that makes it unique as well as a wonderful aroma. I will continue to buy this product.
I'm usually hesitant of homemade chai, but this changed my mind. It's flavorful and spicy, and is delicious even without milk or sugar.
This is the first tea I've tried from Adagio and it's wonderful...
Liked this one hot, sweetened with sugar and milk.
I like a strong, spicy chai. Brewed according to the instructions (2 heaping teaspoons, 5 minutes, 212 degrees) it tastes a bit weak to me, and adding milk only enhances that. I've read the reviews suggesting using more milk and simmering for as much as ten minutes. I suspect it's better that way -- I plan to try it and see.
My new favorite chai tea...amazing with a bit of cream, or just by itself!
Fantastic chai, just the right balance of spices. Perfect with milk and sugar, this is an energetic rather than a comforting chai.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I drink this hot or cold. Lovely with a little honey and some almond milk, but also stunning on it's own. Very spicey! Can't recommend this one enough!
This is my favorite tea so far!! It's so spicy and it leaves a pleasant burn in the back of your throat! It's everything I could have wanted from a chai. I only brew mine for five minutes and I avoid milk, sugar seems best to bring out the most spice.
I have to update this review. The Masala chai is strong. If you brew it on the lower end of the 7-10 minutes suggested on the pouch and add a bit of milk or creamer to make a latte, it is truly divine. I had to try it again with a slightly weaker brew to appreciate it. Now that I've made it right, it's fantastic!
Richer, earthier tea. We drink this during the afternoon and evening when we need a pick me up.
A really great, strong chai. Very comforting and relaxing. Would be perfect on a winter's day. Very rebrewable due to its strength. Will be getting this one for a long time to come.
The first time I tried this tea, I made the mistake of drinking it black. I'm a dilettante who has only ever experienced a 'Starbucks' style chai before, and the spice and astringency almost knocked me over! For the second steep, I added almond milk and a few sugar crystals. It was lovely.
A straight-up essential. Masala chai is that spicy, yummy cup of tea I like to sip while reading, and Adagio's is simply the best!
This tea tastes like Christmas! I truly enjoyed it.
A great traditional chai. Personally I prefer green chai, but I like to brew this one with milk in a pan and add cocoa powder--chai hot chocolate! I'll have to try the rooibos vanilla version for an evening cup.
Very spicy and delicious! Good with lots of sugar, not so much milk.
this is my favourite chai tea right now! i love it! add some sugar and milk, oh my word it is so so good!!
I guess I am in the minority on this tea. It has a great initial flavor but a very odd after-taste that I just can't get over. I generally like very spicy chai, this one just isn't for me. The only way I can enjoy it is to drown it in milk.
Chai is possibly my new favorite flavor. I tried this to compare with another brand and I must say...this tea is GREAT. Wonderful flavor and preferred with milk and honey.
Great Chai, one of the best I've had. Very tasty, but not too powerful.
Good spicy cup of chai. Good for a change from my regular black and oolong teas.
A bit too much ginger for my liking, but other than that, it was great. Was really great iced, w/ cold soy milk. Oh, I'd suggest NOT brewing it in the ingenuitea, the flavor sticks to the filter for a long time.
There is something almost salty about the Masala chai, but the spiced flavors are wonderful!
This is a decent chai, but far from my favorite. There was a nice zing from the ginger, but it isn't overly spicy. It falls a little short in my opinion, but I'm also spoiled by the chai my friend from Pakastan makes when I come visit.
HOLY COW! This tea really opens up the airway. Cinnamon and ginger straight to the palette and an uproar of flavor long after you've swallowed the last drop. Admittedly I enjoy spice, so I add a few extra spoonfuls to my pot for the full body experience. Mixed with black too, the earthy tones resonate after the initial blast of ginger clears the view. A great mid morning tea or a tea to have when you're sick. There's so much flavor going on, you can opt a few roads: with milk and honey, with sugar, or straight. Either way is enjoyable. I put boiling water into my personalitea and let it steep for the 15 minute drive to work and it's ready.
I love chai tea and this one does not disappoint. Very nice strong spices that really make it very rich and with a larger than normal amount of milk/cream it really makes it smooth. I can't wait to order a larger package of this.
Weak for my taste, but my five year old niece loves it iced with milk and sugar. It tastes just about as good as a 'fake' chai latte that you could get at a coffee house, but Celestial Seasonings makes a much better chai.
I really love chai, and this is excellent with some milk in it. It smells strong and it's really good. Great for drinking while trying to get things done. (Like homework.)
This is my favorite tea in the cabinet, 'Masala' means blend of spices. The spices in this tea were blended perfectly together. Add a little milk, and this Chai will make your day.
I really like this chai. I enjoy it double strength with milk and sugar.
This was a bit too spicy for me, but it is a favorite of several friends who tell me that with milk (and some say sugar) it is a perfect and soothing answer to any ill.
I found the spice a little overpowering, and had to dilute it to a nigh unrecognizable state in order to find it palatable, so I probably won't order it again.
This tea is perfect for making at home chai lattes. It smells amazing, tastes amazing and blends amazing. My ner favorite.
Really good- I'm loving the chais on this site. Delicious!
Very good chai. Strong, sweet tea that tastes excellent iced or warm with a bit of milk.
This would be an amazing winter/thanksgiving blend if you mix it with a little pumpkin creamer. It smells amazing and tastes even better!
I guess I'm not much of a chai fan. I don't know if I'm a good judge of this particular masala chai, but I didn't find the flavor all that palatable.
Very strong-so naturally I loved it. When sniffing it in the bag it was very pungent. After it brewed the aroma was very sweet, my roommate even asked if I had made pie. The taste, like I said is VERY strong, so if you like sedate teas this really is not for you. That being said, I'll definitely order this again.
As a chai tea, this is pretty weak, but by itself, it is very enjoyable. It is stronger than spiced black teas like Christmas, but it is still only as good as some bagged chai teas.
I am not a big fan of chai teas, but I actually like this one a lot. The spices are amazing. In my opinion, the ginger stands out a bit too much, but it's still great!
Another staple for us. Lovely spicy tea that pairs well with milk
I love masala, and I am certainly pleased with this.
I love Adagio's Masala Chai. It presents a perfect balance of flavors with a smooth finish. Other Chai's I have tried have a bite at the end of each sip that is pleasantly missing with this Masala Chai. Great with honey and milk!
I found it really bitter and no real flavors to it
