★★★★☆
This was a good chai. Very spicey. It wasn't my favorite chai ever but I would order it again.
'Masala' means 'blend of spices' and 'chai' is simply 'tea.' Inviting fragrance, invigorating flavor, warm finish.

This was a good chai. Very spicey. It wasn't my favorite chai ever but I would order it again.
I love this tea. I drink it with milk and agave nectar which beats any store bought chai mix. It's also good just black.
This is a great blend. A balanced amount of spices that makes this tea better than any other "chai" I've had from so many coffee shops or tea houses. I would recommend to anybody.
My new favorite! I love, love, love this spicy tea! I just thought I had tasted chai until I discovered this beauty!
LOVE IT must have as a staple as this is the perfect blending of traditional chai spices with great black tea. I highly recommend this especially if you are making traditional sweetened chai with hot milk.
We enjoyed this very much. The spices are blended to perfection. Enjoyed it with a little milk.
Very nice chai. My only complaint is that the flavor is very mild at the recommended time & temp - next time I'll steep longer.
this is good. but i really would have liked less clove and more cinnamon. then it would really be good. add some sugar/honey and whole milk
Although chai means tea, most of us have a fairly specific idea of what "chai" tastes like, and this matches it perfectly. I gift this flavor a lot, as it is insanely popular amongst my friends. Perfect with some honey and milk/soymilk.
I've tried masala chai from a number of places and this is by far one of the better ones I've enjoyed.
A more classic chai, in my opinion. Great aroma and flavor.
I didn't really know what to expect as I'm a tea noob, but the tea was very good and I look forward to my next cup.
Loved this one! I tried it for the first time this morning and had to have a second cup immediately!
Very good chai. I brew it double strength and add surgar and cream and it is far better than any "chai latte" I have had at any of the coffee shops.
Adagio makes a great simple masala chai. Try it boiled in milk or milk substitute with some cardamom pods, cinnamon, and ginger for an even better tea experience!
It's a very good masala tea. Nicely spicy, but still keeps the black tea flavor present. If I liked black tea more, it'd probably be a keeper.
I was not too impressed with this blend. I think I could probably make my own better. I will probably not buy this one again.
I love all of Adagio's chai flavors! I bought this one to give a chai-loving friend as a gift!
This is one of the best commercial chai teas available. It is spicy without being overwhelming. Really flavorful and full bodied. Yum!
A very nice Chai, seems nicely balanced to me rich with spices. The actual tea play second fiddle to the spices but that is OK. Color is golden rather that dark as with some Chai teas that I have had. This one is keeper.
Perfect. I like to brew with 2 rounded teaspoons per 6-8oz water. Trying brewing with milk and water.
I had really high hopes for this tea, and although I enjoyed it, it didn't quite meet my expectations. A bit too bitter maybe?
This is a great chai. It doesn't have extra flavors, but it's still very good.
This was a little too clove-y for my taste. I liked it better blended half with black tea.
This was an above average chai, but I much prefer Adagio's Thai Chai. The coconut and lemongrass in the Thai Chai really make a difference.
Yum. I find that I don't need to use this full-strength. I blend it half and half with a plain tea and the canister last longer.
Excellent chai! I have a recipe for homemade chai (hence the ordering of both Asaam and Ceylon teas), but this is just so much easier and just as tasty as my friend Barbara's recipe. I may need to tweak it a bit (I already add at least one peppercorn to each brew) --- but this is excellent. Much better than the Teavana, Peet's, or Tazo! I'm looking forward to using this in a recipe that I found for chai latte ice cream on the Baking and Books blog! Can't wait to try it.
Delicious -- not weak like so many commercial blends, this chai is strongly spiced without being overpowering. Great with or without milk!
I'm not a chai type of person but I am now. I absolutely loved this!! A definite buy!!
I am of the opinion that a good chai needs to have a lot of spice. This is a good chia. It has a good balance between the cinnamon and clove notes, and yet you can still taste the flavor of the tea. Very nicely done.
To be fair, I'm probably not the best judge of a chai, as I don't think I'm doing a very good job of brewing them properly. I've heard that mixing it up with some milk is amazing - I've found getting the right temperature and flavour balance to be difficult. But I really WANT to like it - does that count?
This tea is delicious. I steep it with half as much water as you would normally use for a cup of tea, and replace the other 1/2 with hot soy milk. I then add a little agave nectar for a delicious vegan soy chai latte!
The perfect amount of spice. A wonderful tea, especially with a bit of sugar.
So good and so spicy. This one is great by itself or with milk. I have tried a lot of chais that were less than stellar and the pieces of cardamon and ginger in this one make it phenomenal.
i really like this chai even though it needs peppercorns to add that bit of zing. i add my own.
Like the spicy flavor. Not all the time, but nice for an occasional change from normal black tea.
This is a delicious chai tea for any chai entrepeneur. It has the perfect amount of cloves and ginger and is delicious on a fall afternoon
Absolutely one of my favorites!! This is one that I will reorder again and again.
Very nice well rounded chai. It was strong, but not too much. I'd definitely say that this is a great general chai. Don't expect it to be something you've never had before, you've probably had something similar - but this is a great tasting chai that I'd recommend to anyone.
Wonderful, flavorful standard chai! Perfect for the fall.
Very nice spice level. I had to steep it longer than the suggested five minutes to get the full flavor, though.
Perfect spice tastes great with a little sugar and a touch of warm milk. Reminds me of the tea my mom always made.
If you love chai tea then this is definitely for you I think it would be great with a litle bit of vanilla.
I can't decide if this tea tastes or smells better! I love the way my office smells so good all day after I've made a cup. This is going on my favorites list!
The flavor profile of this chai is about what I expect when I think 'chai'--the spices are balanced nicely with the tea flavor. I like this one as a morning tea.
One of the best and most interestingly complex chai blends I've had. Don't go to this one expecting the sweet stuff from that ubiquitous coffee chain. This is complex, savory, spicey and wonderful with or without milk.
My favorite thing in fall and winter. I even got a co-worker addicted to it, because it's just so lovely and conforting. This is our seasonal comfort drink at my house, having pushed aside the less healthy hot cocoa.
This chai is amazing. I love it with milk or cream and sugar. It has a very full flavor but no one spice overwhelms the flavor, as can sometimes happen with chai teas.
I only got a chance to smell the tin this came in, and I had to get it. It doesn't disappoint. Not a generic chai, but nothing too crazy, either.
This is very delicious! It tasts like chai and cider - perfect on a cool fall morning!
