A nice strong chai. It comes closer to brewed spice tea (whole spices boiled in the water, not steeped with the tea) than any packaged chai blend I have had.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

This is super excellent. I've only had it neat, but at some point I'm going to brew this up the traditional way. Highly recommended. This is one of the best chai's I've ever had.
Just got it from Adagio, makes an awesome chai latte!
I love this tea. I have tried the Chocolate Chai as well, but the Masala Chai is delicious. I especially like it served hot with a little soy milk, and sugar.
I've really enjoyed this tea as a brand new tea enthusiast. great spice and flavor.
The blend of spices in this chai is pitch-perfect. I know you're supposed to make chai with milk but frankly I can't bring myself to ruin this delightful tea that way. I've tasted several other masala chai blends but none have been half as good as this one.
The tea smelled wonderful and rich when I opened the package. The taste is a little less full-bodied than the smell but it's still good. This chai is little bit on the spicy side, so I'll definitely make it with hot soy milk next time.
I just drank my first cup of adagio chai and it is wonderful. I have tried several other chai's , some of which cost quite a bit more. This is by far my favorite chai! Thank you this made my day!
This really only tastes good when made via the stovetop method with milk and sugar. It is nicely spiced and a very nice dessert when done this way!
Smells delicious. Had a bit of trouble brewing at first though. Didn't really like the way it turned out by following the instructions on the bag.
I found it to be best to use 1.5x the suggested amount of tea, brewing for 4-5 min in 2/3 the water suggested.
Then adding milk for the last third and brewing for 5 more mins.
So yummy! I love a good chai tea latte, and using this to make it on my own is so much cheaper than buying one from a coffee shop. Highly recommend!
Awesome kind of 'normal' chai. This tea simply tastes like a really good version of what you can get at a coffee shop. Don't forget to use lots of milk and some honey or sugar.
This tea was good. The flavor was tasteful and full bodied.
I love the cinnamin and cloves. Doesnt' need anything added- just soothing and warm.
yum. i mean...just YUM! I love masala chai and this one does the trick! I brew it a couple minutes longer than recommended and add some black pepper and get the spice right where I like it! :) GOOD STUFF!!!
It's a nice chai, but I prefer Thai Chai to this one. And it should be noted I only drink this black, no milk or sweetener
Good pick me up in the evening, fantastic balance of spices.
This has replaced coffee as my morning beverage of choice. Fantastic!
I use 8 grams per 16 oz of water, which is about 4 teaspoons, or double what I use for most teas. Of the few chai mixes I've tasted, this is the best. Some chais taste funny, but this one is just right.
I love Chai and this is a really delicate one. It will give you a nice caffeine buzz as well.
Great Chai. Brew with milk for an authentic flavor
On it's own, this tea is kind okay. With hot milk, cinnamon and cardamom, it's awesome!
The tea (dry) itself is a great strong smell. I smell cinnamon,cloves, allspice, etc. I brewed the first time as directed on the bag and it weak. I hate when something is strong smelling and then it lets you down in taste. I do like delicate teas but those of course come with the same tune of delicate smells. To me the chai was watered down cinnamon.I can drink it but reach for it last and will not buy again.
The smell is wonderful. I've always loved chai, but I think this made me love it a bit more.
A great basic Chai. Goes great with milk and a little sugar.
I love using vanilla almond milk with the chai teas. I find that its really creamy and not too heavy.
'My 2nd favorite tea on Adagio behind their Casablanca Twist. It smells so amazing
One of my favorites on a cold snowy winter morning. It warms you inside and out.
This is some of the best chai around. I really like this stuff
This is my husband's favorite tea. I never thought he would give up coffee for tea, but this one did the trick!
I was expecting a heavy spiced tea, but this not only has a wonderul fragrance, but is polite and flavorful, and leaves a nice warm 'afterglow.' It's not the best I've had, but I like it a lot.
Love the spice flavor without having to create my own.
This tea is good. I enjoy it and I love the smell that fills the room when it is brewing.
Very good. The cinnamon is the most abundant flavor, which is great if you like it (I very much do). I only got the sampler, but Ill be ordering some more soon.
Meh. It was a little too spicy, I thought it was passable, but not great. Won't order again.
Wonderful, spicy tea. I love it with breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.
This is the first loose leaf chai I've made at home. It's definitely the better than the prepackaged bags.
Masala chai (literally 'spiced tea') is a beverage from the Indian subcontinent made by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs and adding milk to it. While you may certainly purchase teabags at your local grocery store, you will achieve a more authentic flavor if you buy it from Adagio tea,using the following recipes: 1. Bring the water to a very low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer
Nicely blended but not as heavily exotic as I prefer (cloves, cardamom)
An enjoyable chai with a nice, strong taste, yet the cinnamon flavor is a bit stronger than I really prefer.
This is a great chai tea. Just the right amount of spice.
Very tasty. It is chock full of cinnamon though so it might upset delicate stomaches. But for the price, this is a wonderful chai. Teavanna sells an Oolong Chai right now that is my favorite, but it is very pricey so this is a great substitute.
This is by far the best chai I have ever had. Full-bodied flavor that shines through the milk and sugar unlike any other chai I have tasted. No other enhancements needed, so it's easy to prepare. And best of all, it's relatively inexpensive!
This tea is just delicious. Add a little honey and some half and half and things are perfect. Be aware that it may be necessary to add two teaspoons of tea to achieve the best flavor.
Warm, fragrant, and refreshing, I've found this to be my favorite tea so far. Its flavor of cinnamon and spice is delightful, and I can't wait to make more.
A very nice addition to any tea. Great aroma and flavor.
Great chai taste. Wonderful smell and great with sugar and milk. I drink it daily.
this is a great black tea. it has such a nice spicy cinnamon flavor.
Great tea on it's own. Looking forward to trying it with a bit of milk and honey. Spices are nice and not too overpowering.
This is my favorite of the Chai Teas. I think this is the best by far.
