★★★★★

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.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

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!

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

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

6 min steep · 208°F

★★★★☆

it was pretty good just not as spiced as i expected.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

This chai was tasty, but a bit heavy on the clove. I don't know if it just happened to be that batch (I got it as a sample), but the overpowering clove made me not appreciate this one very much.

★★★★★

This tea is lovely, nice and spicy and well-balanced. Not too strong in either direction (I have had some chais where the clove hit like a truck). I like to pair it with vanilla coconut milk (boxed) since I can't do dairy and it's yummy!

★★★★☆

This is some darn good chai, if you're a chai person. It's a mite spicy if you leave it on the tongue for long enough, but the smell alone will wake you up. I have yet to make it the way you're *supposed* to, with cream and honey and all that fun stuff. I imagine it's delicious if you do it right. I just never have.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

This is one of the spicier chai blends I've tried, and I'm not complaining. It's difficult to find one of adequate strength. As with all chais, it's much spicier in the bag, so you have to play around with your brewing/boiling times to find a good balance. I'm going to order a full size of this one for sure.

★★☆☆☆

I recently tried the Masala Chai after not having had it in several years. I used to love it. Well, apparently they have changed the blend. The appearance of the blend is much different, and OMG, the cinnamon is overwhelming. it's all I can taste. The spices used to be nicely balanced. Please change it back.

★★★★★

Wow, this tea has some kick! I've never had chai tea, and this was a great first experience. The smell from the bag is delicious - absolutely wonderful. I gave it about 6 minutes to steep and experimented with a bit of milk, honey, and Splenda, until I found a good balance.

So good!! Late night studying has never been better!

★★★★★

Delicious! It has the perfect amount of spiciness. Not too strong and not too weak.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

Way too much cinnamon. With a little more balance it would have been spectacular.

★★☆☆☆

Reading so many reviews that it had a 'bite', 'bit too spicy', etc I was looking forward to a strong chai. Made via directions but with one more tsp added it had 0 taste? I'm one that cannot take spice normally at all but I love spicy chai. Next time I doubled it, it is spicier but also bitter. The rooibus vanilla chai has loads more flavor and I made that one with milk added. Disappointed.

★★★☆☆

This was one of our favorite teas and we've been drinking it for years. Suddenly it seems as though they changed the formulation and added a ton of cinnamon. It completely overpowers all the other flavors. I hope they change it back.

★★★★★

Another wonderful chai, cannot get enough of it, need to get more!
