very nice chai blend - I like to add milk and ice to mine. Good spices.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

Really lovely typical chai blend. Smells like a chai should.
My expectations were purposefully low for this tea even after reading the high praise in the reviews. It certainly smelled amazing opening the bag but would it live up to its reputation? First sip and I was sold. I absolutely love this tea. in fact, it's my new favorite. In the zombie apocalypse, this is my Twinkie.
After months of drinking horrible Chai, this is a treat! Spicy and delicious!! I put milk and agave in it--made my day.
The masala chai is a spicy delish mix that I very much enjoyed. Next time however, I would steep it longer so it was more flavorful. I added a splash of skim milk and some splenda and it was an overall great tea. I will be ordering this again.
tasted like a truly authentic cup of chai tea. this is one of the exceptions i have with using milk and sugar in my tea and it's a very comforting cup. highly recommended. looking forward to trying the other chai variations but i think the indian flavors do it right.
s a chai lover, I love this tea. Just be careful how long you steep it or the taste of the cloves particularly can be quite overpowering. While I don't know if everyone experiences chai the same way I do, I get a delightful tingliness in my tongue and lips when I drink this tea. I tend to steep this tea just under three minutes to get the flavor that I want.
I really enjoyed this chai! I have to be careful with the steeping time, because despite the fact that I like my chai teas very spicy, they can quickly get bitter. That said, this has a nice amount of spice, and I really enjoyed the cup.
My first chai, and I loved it! I didn't do anything fancy... Just brewed it as directed in boiling water, then added half and half and a spoonful of sugar. Next time I will try steeping it directly in milk in a pan!
It tastes like a quality Masala hai. I tried it plain and blended with milk and honey. It's tasty both ways!
Easily the best loose-leaf chai I've ever tried. Follow the suggested steeping instructions and add a bit of milk and sugar for the perfect chai taste.
This was my first loose leaf tea I have tried from Adagio and it was pretty good coming from someone new to tea. I thought it was going to be much stronger than it really was and you go through it extremely fast since it requires two heaping teaspoons per cup.
I had high hopes because of the smell of the tea packet, but the flavor wasn't to much to my liking. I'm sure one of my friends will enjoy the leftovers.
Solid chai. Good on its own or with a splash of milk. Spicy but balanced. Would also be great with sugar or some sweetener as the tannins are a little heavy in this (which I like, but others may not).
I wanted to love this, but it was a little strong on the cloves for my preference. I think I prefer a stronger taste of cardamom in my chai. However, it was still good, and I particuarly liked it steeped in milk.
this chai is a nice variation on the chai flavor, yet for me it has a different spiceness to it which is not balanced with all the other componets
This teat has a great balance of spice. I love it
Not my favorite chai, but I do enjoy it. It is very spicy, and I prefer my chai to be sweet. Adding cream and sugar helps.
Really like this one with sugar and a touch of almond milk. Is a very gentle, nice tea with a very balanced flavor.
I love this one so much, it has just enough spices to be yummy. It is an awesome tea for the afternoon it's a great treat.
This is my favorite morning tea. The spice blend is not bitter, while strong enough to hold up when I blend it with coconut milk. I've tried it sweetened with amber crystals and with a few drops of stevia. Both are good, but if you don't like your chai sweet, this blend doesn't need it because the cinnamon and clove add a hint of sweetness.
This is a really wonderful chai. It has a warm, cozy taste that has all the spiced flavour you could want from a chai without being too strong. I even accidentally left it steeping for some time past my first cup, and it did not get bitter. Tastes marvelous with milk and sugar.
This Chai is wonderful. It is delicious iced-one of my favorites
I consider this chai to be one of the must-haves in every cupboard everywhere. When you want chai, you want this one!
I purchased 5 of the chai teas from adagio and this is easily my favorite! It's definitely the most traditional chai they offer, but I find myself appreciating its simplicity almost every day =)
Very good. The balance of spices seem to favor the cloves so I like to mix it with a bit of ginger.
Absolutely delicious! It smells spicy and fantastic in bag and comes out smoother but with enough kick to get you going. Definitely adding to my every day teas and a must have for chai lovers!
n intense, flavorful tea. Best when you want to wake up a bit :P
I thought the spice of this tea was just a bit overbearing, but I am not a huge chai person. It's good when mixed with a bit of sugar to offset the spice.
Really nice smell. You can definitely tell there's some spice to this tea. As a person who loves chai, this was pretty good. I can definitely see a smidge of milk going with this as needed, though I like my cuppa plain.
One of my favorite Adagio teas. The best chai, by far. In fact, I can't go back to grocery store chai. I think the real spices in the tea, such as cloves and cinnamon, really make this tea far superior, rather than just the spice oils in regular market tea. Well worth the price and wait. Awesome
This is a beautiful tea to look at and to drink. I love seeing the blend of spices (whole cloves!) in this tea. Nice warm comforting taste with just the right spiciness. This will be a regular for me.
The flavors are good and the smell is AMAZING but unfortunately the spices are not as much as I would like in a chai tea. I used some pure honey in mine and a bit of sugar. I actually enjoyed it more when I steeped it for I believe a bit less time. Very good!
Yet another one of my favorite types of chai. I ordered this as a sampler and quickly became hooked. Very delicious!
I definitely went a little overboard with the leaves my first time. It is super strong and a little goes a long way. I love strong chai though so this is perfect.
This is heavy on the cloves, which I really like, but the spices don't actually overwhelm the flavor of the tea. I like this best when made with milk and honey or brown sugar.
This tea smells heavily of cinnamon. Like, cinnamon broom at Christmas level. I used the suggested heaping teaspoons and added a couple oz of almond milk. Overall, pretty good. Spicy in a way that differs from the masala chai I usually drink. I like it. I love seeing whole cloves in tea. Makes my day.
Really really good for chai lattes or anything else.
A lovely chai with a spicy aftertaste. The black tea wasn't bitter as I've noticed other masala chai's can be. I do recommend that you have it more traditionally, with lots of warm whole milk and sugar. (White, or honey works well also.)
I used to really dislike chai, it just wasn't what I wanted from tea when I was younger, but then I went through a transitional period of chai lattes, so I'm a bit more used to the flavor now. Smelling it in the bag, I was afraid it was going to be too much for me, but it had a surprising amount of sweetness to it witout even adding any sweetener, somehow. I really enjoyed it!
The masala is also surprisingly good blended with some Thai Chai and a little cinnamon.
I haven't tried all of the chai teas from Adagio yet but this one is my favorite so far. I love tea with cardamom pods, ginger root, cloves, natural cinnamon flavor and cinnamon bark. Best with a bit of milk or cream.
I really enjoy this chai tea. Blends nicely with the fruity herbals too!
I added skim milk to it to give it that 'chai latte' feel. I'd actually recommend goat's milk for something more authentic. The second steeping turned out bitter and left a strange, metallic taste in my mouth. Still a great tea!
liked it a lot! almost as good as my moms home made indian chai.
Good chai. Some blends can be overpowering this is not. I think i'll make some now. Regret that I only bought the sample.
Poetry in motion. A classic tea of amazing flavor.
This chai cheered me up immediately on a long, stressful night at work. It's perfectly spicy and warming and tasted great even without anything in it. I can't wait to try it in other combinations, and I'll definitely order more in the future!
this is probably my favorite tea. its good with sweetener, and even without. though when you first smell the bag, the clove smell is very strong... its almost off putting. but when brewed it blends nicely.
Did not live up to my expectations. I found the Thai Chai much better
Very nice. A little heavy on the cinnamon notes for me.
