Love the spiciness! Going to try it with milk next time, like some of the other reviews suggested!
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

Love the spiciness! Going to try it with milk next time, like some of the other reviews suggested!
This tea is spicy and delicious, fairly perfect for when I need a kick in the pants to get motivated. Mixed with rooibos vanilla, it mellows nicely for a more relaxing cup.
Great spice to it, little sugar and little milk equals delious.
Just the right combination of spice and sweet, an amazing chai blend. I can't wait to try it as a latte.
Best cup of chai that I've ever had. Good straight or with milk. Great for warming up on a cold day.
This is amazing!! I'm so glad I tried it!! Its good plain, and with cream. I do like to add a bit of the dark sugar crystals or honey. Honey is especially good with this tea!!
This is the best Chai I've found. It has a full, rich, spicy flavor that is not diminished by the addition of milk and sugar. The tea is very forgiving with water temp and steep time. I've double the recommended time with no decline in richness and no bitterness.
Although this tea isn't very 'out of the ordinary' compared to the ingredients of other chai, it definitely is something special. It's spicy without being overpowering.
I made this tea as a latte and it was very good. There is something just a little off (too many cloves?) but overall it was good.
not the full body flavor I'd been hoping for. totally lacking in spices too.
Not a bad tea, just a bit too much cinnamon for my liking.
My reason for ordering from Adagio was to buy a better Chai tea than what I was getting in teabags at the store, and this definitely delivered. While initially surprised at its strength, once I figured out my brew preference it's become a delightful addition to my evenings. I drink mine with added Irish Cream
I prepare this with milk and honey as everyone else has recommended. It is so different but so good!
The way this tea tingles on your tongue is just awesome. I add a bit of stevia and some cream to mine. Mind blown.
Spicy and strong. It's a tea to be tasted with milk, either brewed straight in or mixed into the water. Good either iced or hot.
When I drank it as a normal cup of hot tea the spice was a little strong, but then I made an iced chai tea latte with it, and ohhh so good. I finished off the sample and have ordered more. Great chilled drink for summer!
Wonderful spiced tea - not bitter at all, very enjoyable. Makes an awesome spiced apple cider when mixed with some apple juice, a little bit of caramel sauce and some cinnamon syrup.
A really delicious tea. I'm really grab I grabbed it!
One of the best chai teas. I love the mix of flavors with the mix of tea.
Took others' advice and brewed with a little almond milk - I will never spend another dime on a chai latte at a coffee house. Delicious!
I absolutely adored this tea. The spices were strong and wonderful, especially the cloves.
Absolutely amazing! Great for coffee drinkers like me who enjoy robust flavors.
I LOVE this tea! I had it in the store, meant to be served hot! It has such a nice aroma and a wonderful taste to it. I add a bit of cream to it personally, but tastes great without it! Just bought more of this today, I absolutely am in love with it :)
My favorite go-to tea. Perfect with a ton of sugar and milk, strong and hot. Let it steep for a good long tome, and heat it back up if it cools off (although iced is good, too!)
This is simple tasting, traditional chai tea. Alone, it's a bit too generic tasting, but makes an excellent ingredient in a blend.
Great Tea! I tried this for the first time and loved it.
This is a good choice.
Personally, I find this one to be a bit weak. It has a lovely aroma, but its flavor when brewed leaves a bit to be desired.
Up until now I've not been a fan of chai
Our new favorite evening tea! I can't get away with making just one glass in my house. I followed another customer's suggestion and brew with these instructions: Blend one part whole milk, one part filtered water in the appropriately sized pot. Add (stir in) 2 heaping teaspoons tea (per liquid cup). SLOWLY bring the mix to a steady (just shy of rolling) boil. Transfer to your ingenuiTEA (or similar). Let sit (brew) for 6 to 8 minutes. Strain and sweeten with a good quality honey.
This tea is fantastic! The cinnamon really shines through in this tea, and it's the perfect blend of spices. I didn't read the other reviews before ordering, and I didn't think to brew it in milk, but I'm definitely going to try that next time, because it sounds heavenly!
I prefer chais that are spicier than this, but this one still had some nice spice to it and was definitely better than some other spice chais I have tried. A decent starting point.
Very strongly, richly flavorful. Reminds me of gingerbread and molasses. Spiced just right and ready for a hot steamy cup of chai.
So spicy and delicious! I got it as a free sample, and will definitely be buying more in the future. I't even delicious black!
A great basic chai. I wish it had black pepper in it, but the ginger seems to lend enough spiciness without being too overpowering.
I enjoy spicy teas and this I judge to be the best of chais I've ever had. I believe cardamom and ginger are the highlights of this tea's components. My son is picky about drinks and he gulped his cup quickly.
Not the best chai that I've ever had, though it was certainly drinkable. Smell was typical of a masala chai and flavor was very typical. Nothing special. Won't be buying again.
Very yummy, a nice spice blend. I will be buying more of this!
This, is just amazing. brewed it in a pot with vanilla and milk and honey added, and I was in heaven at first sip. it's rather spicy, but blends well with any sweetness added. And the aroma is very lovely.
Open up the bag, and YUM - smells like you dove into the spice cabinet. Very strong and very inviting. Brewed up, it gets bitter quickly, so be careful. Milk and sugar helped me (I put it in all of my black teas, though) and that underlying spicy bite was just enough to cut through the soothing nature of the milk. Definitely a tasty cup, though I don't think straight chais are my hat...I'm sure this would make a lovely latte or core for a concentrate, though, too!
Best chai I've tried that didn't come from a famous coffee shop (or concentrate). I got a sample originally and am back for more. Add a splash of almond milk and some sugar crystals or leave it plain--it's perfect either way.
This was fantastic. I will be ordering again. Perfect amount of spice, and great at all times of the day.
I was looking for a traditional cup of chai tea, and masala is incredible. Rich in favor and intoxicating to smell, masala chai is great when you're in the mood for tea that is complex yet soothing to the senses.
Followed the directions of an earlier review here - water plus milk plus mix boiled then steeped then served with a little honey. Fantastic.
My favorite chai out of all the different kinds I've tried. Delicious on its own, decadent with cream and honey, even more decadent if brewed with hot milk. Just a hunt of smokiness behind the spice and sweetness - everything I ask for in a cup of chai.
Yep. Starbucks ain't got nothin' on this. This... this is the real deal. Milk, honey, you're set. No more to it than that.
This chai was good and had a wonderful flavor. The spice was very apparent.
I like to have chai with light cream and sugar. I enjoyed this tea but not at the suggested serving size of 2 tsps per cup for 7-10 minutes. At that qty and steeping time, I find that I have to add too much sugar because it becomes bitter. I did a comparison with this and the thai chai, and this comes in a distant second.
This is my go-to chai. I am pretty sure I go through it faster than anything else. I am a fan of the sweet cinnamon and cloves - awesome for winter.
Excellent flavors in this chai. Add honey and milk to taste.
This tea is spicy and fun to drink. It goes great with milk or cream, or just as it is. I sometimes mix a little bit of cinnamon for an added kick-but totally not needed.
Definitely carries me through the day when I need a tiny bit of something wild going on.
