★★★★☆

This tea is so flavorful. It was my first time trying a mate tea and i was pleasantly surprised with the flavor

★★★★★

I mixed this with the Raja Oolong for obvious reasons. A little fruitier than it’s Teavana counterpart but still has an excellent flavor

3 min steep · 185°F

★★★★★

I used to drink Teavanna’s Samurai mate. I was so upset when they closed. Then I found this...total upgrade!

★★★☆☆

I bought this to combine with (Raja oolong chi, and Masala Chi) in an attempt to recreate a Teavana mix based on another review. While it did not really achieve that taste :( it is a light aromatic tea worth trying.

★★★★★

Great taste and even better when mixed with Raja.The combo gives you a wonderful spicy flavor without being overpowering

★★★★☆

Comparable to the Samurai Mate tea I use to get at Teavana

Samurai Mate is one of my favorite afternoon pick me up teas. Always have some stocked.

★★★☆☆

It was not what I was hoping for, but it is still a pretty good tea that was a little too fruity for my tastes.

★★★★★

Brewed with the white chai as a replacement for teavana. Delicious and better than teavana.

★★★★★

Ordered this as a sample, but I will be going back for more

★★★★★

I first had this type of blend from another brand, but adagio once again beat the original in price and flavor!

I use to purchase my tea from another company. I went to lots of tea companies and could not find anything that compared, until Adagio. I think the taste is superb. I mix it with White Ayurvedic Chi the smooth spicy taste of both combined are amazing

★★★★★

This is by far the best herbal tea I've ever had - I'm usually a staunch black tea drinker, but this is so flavorful that I find it perfectly satisfying!

★★★☆☆

Not a favorite since it's a rather thin tea. The mango and papaya provided interesting flavors

★★★★★

Not as heavy as regular chai. Great aroma, and the extra caffeine is a nice boost.

★★★☆☆

I'm missing a distinct tea flavor in this tea. The flavors are nice, but I think I'd like it better mixed with Irish Breakfast or something.

★★★★☆

Not quite as good as its 'idea' - It needs a bit more spice.

★★★★★

Bought this for my mother because Teavana shut down and broke our hearts. The teas aroma is very pleasant and enticing, not too strong. The colour is a rich amber and it just warms up your body as you drink. The taste of cinnamon gives it a nice kick to the tongue that isn t unpleasant with a hint of nuttiness

We both highly recommend

Was looking for a replacement for the Teavana chai blend, mixing this w/ the white ayurvedic chai and the raja was super close! Close enough to make this my new favorite tea company!

★★★☆☆

I thought it would taste similar to the Teavana tea of the same name.

★★★★★

One of my favorite teas. Great replacement for the Teavana double chai.

★★★★☆

A very delicious tea that is not to spicy but has a nice kick to it.

★★★★★

I got this and the White Ayurvedic Chai as a substitute for a mixture I enjoyed from Teavana. This Adagio substitute is better than the Teavana, in my humble opinion. It is also less expensive.

★★★★☆

I like the milder kick of energy you get from a mate tea in general, and the bright spicy notes in this tea promote and energetic feeling as well.

★★★★☆

It has a light fruity taste with a undertone of cinnamon. The highlight is the smell; where the cinnamon bark shines. Overall, it is a nice tea.

★★★★★

Great tea, love the flavor. So glad I found this tea to take its place of teavana.

★★★★★

This is my favorite chai! I was disappointed when another tea chain went out of business because it was my favorite and I always got it there, so I’m so thankful to find adagio carries it!

★★★★★

Wonder taste blended with white avurvedic chai makes the best cup of tea. Ready for an additional order.

★★★★★

Love, love, love this tea. It’s been my favorite for a very long time now. Tastes amazing, and smells amazing! I want my house to smell like this all the time.

★★★★★

Like to combine many teas...mixed this one with Raja Oolong Chai and Kona Pineapple...add rock sugar. Like the combination.

★★★★★

Absolutely love this tea. Everything blends well and it has a perfect balance of kick.

★★★★★

I mixed this with the white ayurvedic chai. This was an amazing combo I used to get from teavana. Will buy again!

★★★★★

I love the combination of all the flavors. Very soothing

★★★★★

Great tea...just as good as Teavana. Correction... Better!

★★★★★

There is a spicy fruitiness to this, both in its aroma and--albeit less potently--in its flavor. I suspected I would love it as soon as I opened the bag and unleashed the powerful cinnamon scent. The taste is very well-balanced and smooth, and the apricot especially makes its presence known as the tea cools. What an interesting, delightful cup of tea!

★★★★☆

Not exactly like Teavana's but a good approximation. I'd buy it again.

★★★☆☆

I mix this with the white ayurvedic chai by its self its 3 stars but mixed its 4

★★★★★

Very tasty! Reminds me of the teavana samurai chai. Excellent blend.

★★★★★

Ok, I have never tried the samurai mate from teavana so I have nothing to compare it to. That being said, I LOVE this tea. I drink mate a couple times a day and this is my new favorite. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! If you haven't tried it then you should. And stop comparing to teavana. I stopped using teavana years ago when I realized they put candied fruits or refined sugars in almost all of their herbal teas.

★★★★☆

Interesting flavor - not my favorite, but I think I will try it iced and see if I like it more that way.

★★★★★

I came here looking for a replacement for my Teavana Samchai mate and I found it, mission accomplished and well done. It's a very tasty gateway drug... er, I mean tea.

★★★★★

Long time favorite . Try This : samurai, white Ayurvedic, Vanilla Chia and Oolnog. The best

★★★★★

This is a very flavorful chai. I mix it with the other chai .

Great fruity flavor, fallowed by the big punch of caffeine. Good way to really get your motor running.
