★★★★☆
A very good spiced tea blend, the rich cinnamon and ginger aromas make the cup come alive.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

I can't think of a single thing wrong with Masala Chai. My husband in particular is crazy about it and practically kissed my feet when I told him that no, we were not in fact out, because I had already reordered. I like the tip of brewing with milk and will try doing so using almond or coconut milk very soon.
I make this in the saucepan. Water and tea, boil for 5 minutes. And then I add equal part milk. Good spicy tea. Notes of clove dominate if it is steeped too long.
It's fairly simple and if you like any kind of chai, this is the classic without any extra garnishes.
I really like this Chai. I was glad to see it doesn't incorporate pepper into the spice blend. It seems a bit clove-y when you open the bag, but it translates nicely into the cup. I like adding a bit of this to my Irish Breakfast for a more subtle chai.
Delicious. Like the other chais, this can get a little bold if you use too much
A solid masala chai for a very good price. I usually add a touch of sugar or honey, and then a bit of milk to mine to round out the flavors. Highly recommend it.
Excellent as masala chai goes. The spices are well balanced.
For me, this tea is tied to be 'the' favorite with Silver Needle. Just incredible. Though it's great when brewed according to the instructions (add sugar and milk to taste), I actually prefer a method posted by another reviewer - brewing it in milk while heating it on the stove-top, then adding honey. Absolutely Incredible!
Very delicious when steeped in milk or made into a tea latte! On it's own it can get a little bitter but I still love it!
This is a delicious spicy tea best served very sweet with milk. Watch for overbrewing as the flavor of the cloves can take over. I often use this tea as a substitute for dessert.
The perfect chai tea flavor. Great blend of spices.
This chai blend is very good. Not a lot of strong spice flavors besides the basics, and I threw in a cayenne pepper while it was brewing, but still delicious. Brew strong and mix with sugar and milk.
I love this chai tea. It's the perfect amount of spice and is delicious with very little milk and honey.
The best chai I've had - just perfect with a little milk and sugar - my go to tea.
Nice strong flavor, and very heavy on the caffeine. This Masala Chai hits me just as hard as a cup of coffee...not that I minded.
I liked this chai. It's especially great with a little creamer.
Seriously flavorful. I make pots of this for dessert (and to accompany dessert, let's not kid ourselves) and it's always a hit.
Phenomenal product! The spice blend is perfect to me, it's awesome. I do half water for steeping, and then mix it with equal parts milk. Nice and deep creamy profile. Definitely ordering more.
Nice chai tea. Spices are noticeable, but not overwhelming.
This chai is good, but seems to be a quite a bit acidic. Definitely apply milk and sugar.
Was okay, but wasn't a flavor I enjoyed personally.
Great tea to warm you up. Good by itself, but amazing with cream and sugar.
This chai has become one of my favorites for cold mornings. It is spicier than any other chai I've tried here, which is definitely a pick-me-up! I like it with milk, but it's great without any milk or sweetener as well!
great blend of chai spices, smooth and perfect on a fall day. I serve mine with a coconut milk and is divine. I wish it came in decafe though
Others have pointed out how great this tea is with milk, however, you can't ignore how wonderful this tea is on it's own. Perfectly spiced and a great way to start the day.
A little light on the spice and pepper for my taste in Chai
I found this to be a little weak for my tastes. Two heaping scoops and 7 minutes at 212 finally got it to a reasonable strength. However, I went through a lot of tea very fast using two scoops per cup.
A light chai tea. It's not strong enough for me to add cream and make a latte, but it's very nice to drink on its own.
This is a very rich and spicy chai! I love chai tea, in general, and this one is definitely one of the more flavorful chais that I have ever tasted! Delightful!
This is my all time favorite chai tea. I been reordering it for a few years now. Great with milk and honey.
Maybe it's just because I have had Masala Chai in Singapore that any pre-made version is just terrible. It has an odd bitterness and aftertaste and the spices just don't seem to meld together. Before Singapore I enjoyed Masala Chai, now I have to always make my own, so I guess my review may not be the best for those who have only ever had pre-made.
I wasn't sold on this chai upon first trying it, but it grew on me when I started brewing it very strong, using more than 2 tsp per cup and adding steamed milk to make a latte. The blend has TONS of cloves. Now it's my favorite Adagio tea.
perfect amount of spice. this is my go to chai tea this autumn.
My favorite chai tea! It's great with any breakfast meal. The cinnamon flavors really warm me up in the morning.
This tea is so delicious, I can't even find words. Spicy and wonderful. <3
Very nice chai flavor, goes well with some (coconut) milk!
I liked this chai tea, but it's not as robust as I had hoped. Not bad, but I've had better.
Good solid masala chai. I tend to let mine steep for longer than they suggest to get a stronger flavor.
I'm pretty sure that this chai is equivalent to cocaine. That's how addictive it is. Lucky for me, the masala chai is delicious and healthy. Because otherwise, I would be hosed.
Amazing when it is simmered in milk. I will definitely be ordering this again.
I loved this tea! I added hot milk
I got this for my husband so this is based on his opinion. He liked it. Nice flavor expected from Chai Tea. He said he wouldn't want it all the time but it was a good tea.
This tea has a large number of spices which, when mixed with sugar and milk, make for a pleasant cup. Though I do enjoy this tea I generally prefer plain teas.
This is a great chai tea. I love the taste of it with sugar and it is my daily drink in the mornings. This is one tea that I will always make sure is part of my orders.
This is pretty good, mixed heavily with milk and some honey. The spices are very strong and while good, I don't get that Masala flavor that I find in other indian teas, but it is still very enjoyable.
interesting taste. not sure exactly how i feel about it. just got a sample so will probably have to get another to experiment with temp, brew times and additives
Ordered this for my girlfriend, she absolutely loves the masala chai. When i ordered this particular bag Adagio had an offer of a free sample of rooibos mango the very next day they started the pumpkin spice promotion and included that as well, thank you very much adagio!!
Delicious. Somewhat spicy, milk and sugar really brings out the flavor.
How could I ever go back to any other chai? Satisfying, spicy, delicious. Yum.
