this makes a fantastic chai latte -- easily just as good if not better than the ones you can buy at coffee shops
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

I love chai. This one has the strong spice flavour that I like.
Great tea, mixed it with the Christmas blend and had a really good chai blend.
I loved the ginger pieces in this tea. It really brightened and lifted this masala from other chai's. It was spicy and flavorful
This Masala Chai is a mixture of Ceylon black tea with warming cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger. Making this a great Chai! I always put at least 1/2 milk and 1/2 water and sugar to taste in any Chai i drink.
A solid chai tea. Good for every day use. Has a very good aroma and a strong taste.
A little more spicy than I'm used to, but still quite good.
A very strong chai. Smells great in the bag and steeped, though I don't recommend oversteeping this one, as it became pretty bitter when I tried, even after adding milk and honey.
Tastes like authentic Indian thai, like you'd get at a restaurant.
compared with the apple chai it lacks a bit of zing but it is a great tea nevertheless
This tea could pretty easily be renamed 'Clove' and it would be very fitting. That's a good thing because I love the aroma and flavor of cloves. I love this tea but I would need to be in a pretty particular mood for it.
This tea was spicy and rich, and a lot more convenient for me than picking up the spices (cardamon pods, etc) and boiling it in a pot the 'right' way. While this may not be the 'authentic' way to make chai, I really enjoyed it. In addition, not steeping it in milk made it much less rich and thus a lot lighter.
This isn't a bad masala chai by any means, but it also isn't much different from many others I've tasted. The spices blend well, as none overpower each other, and it makes a great cup with milk and honey. Worth a try.
This is a decent chai for sure and very well rounded. I prefer a chai to be a bit more spicy. I think I would of liked a stronger cinnamon flavor. But if you like chai, this is a must try! Haha I rhymed! :)
Brewing with just water gave an acceptable if subdued flavor, however I was able to get this Chai to truly shine by following a suggestion several other reviewers have made. Remove the water and slowly brew with hot milk instead then drizzle a bit of honey in the final minutes before you strain. It really transforms the flavor into a much stronger and more potent experience! The spices come out a lot stronger and the tea breathes very well into the mix. Very warming on these cold winter days!
The tea base is fine, but the spices determine the character of a chai. This one is extremely heavy on cloves. so if you like cloves, this is the blend for you!
Probably my favorite anytime tea of all time. I add some honey and milk and it's Christmas in a mug
I love Masala Chai! It is one of my favorite teas!
Not as good as the first time. This batch has way too much ginger and not enough tea.
This is one of my favorite teas. I prefer it with just a bit of sweetener and no milk. The combination of spices is fantastic.
Excellent chai! Only brewed it once, but I can already tell the difference in the quality from store bought tea bags.
This is a wonderful chai tea. It smells delicious and has the spicy taste to back it up. It is stronger than several other chai teas I have tried from other vendors.
This tea has a nice bite to it. I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but it tastes very good in this tea. Definitely my new morning tea.
I love a good chai, and this one is one of the best I've had. Perfectly spicy, best with a heaping spoon of sugar and a lot of milk!
This is the best of the Chais Adagio offers. Spicy and tastes great with milk and sugar.
This is aflavorful chai, the spice is great without being overbearing. I would definitely try this if you like chai.
I love chai and this one is very good! Loose leaf chai is the only way to go. I heat up milk or half
This tea is lovely and perfectly spicy. I drink it plain--no milk or sugar or honey. It doesn't need it.
A pretty basic chai. My one complaint is that it seems to be a little heavy on the cloves. Of course, some milk balances everything out and maybe even bumps up the ginger factor (no complaints here!), but I don't think this chai is anything to write home about. Not bad by any means, I just prefer others.
A good chai, but I think it needs to be brewed a bit stronger than labeled.
Spicy and exactly what I was expecting from a chai.
It was a decent cuppa, but not my favorite unfortunately...follow what the other reviewers said and use milk instead of water and all of that shenanigans
I think I would have to be more of a chai fan to enjoy this. The spices are a little strong for me, but you can clearly taste the clove, cinnamon, and cardamom. Chai lovers will ADORE this tea but I ordered it mainly to try the most authentic chai that Adagio has.
Very nice spice tea. I'd enjoy this with breakfast.
I love very strong chai and normally need to add a lot of extra spices. I still add some extra to this, but much less than with other chais I've had. I got a pound and plan to try to make a chai concentrate with it.
One of the staples in my tea cabinet. It's balanced, spicy without being too hot, and blends wonderfully with other teas.
I put twice the amount of tea in a cup, and then heat up a cup of milk and add them together. So much better (and cheaper) than a chai latte at Starbucks.
Great basic chai, nice and spicy, with whole cloves in the mix. My only fault is that the tea is a bit weak. I had to brew extra strong to get some taste! :)
A pretty decent masala chai. It's spicy but not bitter.
good and spicy, not too heavy on the cinnamon, but missing the black pepper which lacks the authenticity of many masala chai's
Love to mix this chai with the rooibos vanilla or vanilla green
Like some of the other reviews said, it could use a little more body. This is easily remedied with a bit of plain black tea (Ceylon Sonata works great). Spicy and perfect for this chilly weather!
This is definitely the best chai tea that I've ever had.
This is a great chai tea. It's not too strong like some chai's but it has a great spicy taste.
Definitely not my favorite chai - too much clove for my taste.
This is a nice full bodied tea that is a wonderful blend of cinnamon, cardamon and ginger. It has a pleasently sweet aroma. The thing I taste most in this blend is cinnamon and the ginger. I drank the tea straight with no milk or honey but I do look foward to trying it.
This is my favorite Chai. It's spice has just enough kick to burn your heart out of your body. Which is so good, especially in this cold wintery weather.
This is good Chai. Full of flavor. It has a clean start to the tea, but there is a spice at the end that I'm not quite fond of. Though that maybe because I brewed it too long (simmering for about 6 minutes.) But overall it's very good. I added lots of honey and sugar because I like it sweet.
This was not quite spicy enough for me. However, based on the positive reviews and suggestions, I think I need to experiment with this one a little bit.
This is my first Chai tea that I have purchased and have fallen in love with the 'spiciness' of this tea.
