- I was never an assam or chai fan but this tea changed that. Very balanced in it's spice to tea flavor profile! Simply devine with milk and honey! I can get multiple steepings.

- I have tried several different varieties of loose leaf chai and always come back to this blend. It is fantastic and I drink it every single day with lots of milk.

- This traditional blend is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a fine cup of masala chai. The balance of spices and tea is perfect for my taste and the aroma is as inviting as the flavor. I enjoy it with milk and honey. Fantastic for cold-weather drinking!

- This is, hands down, my favorite chai. It is a rich, bracing cup to get my day going. I steep it in water instead of milk and then pour in a lot of heated milk afterwards and a bit of Stevia for sweetness. Delicious and very strong!
- Great alone!

- I wanted to give some real Chai a try since I have never liked those from stores. And wow! I loved it! And, surprisingly, I loved it more by itself. Just such a great, spiced tea. Perfect for this cold autumn!
- Best Traditional Chai!

- This is, hands down, the best traditional chai tea I have found. It will continue to be a staple in my tea pantry, and is what I reach for time and time again for that first morning cup. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic, basic, chai tea.

- This isn't the crappy, commercial chai garbage that comes in a premixed box. The spices and the flavor are perfectly balanced. Even my children (with their sensitive tastes) love this tea. More for sure.

- Three months ago I accidentally ordered two packets (computer glitch) but have already used up the first packet. I have it with whole milk and about a quarter teaspoon of sugar. With a late spring this year it has been a comfort.

- I have to confess, I'm not a Chai fan - too sweet, don't like milk, etc. My son sent me some for Christmas and I love this! I steeped it strong and added no sweetener, no milk. Warm, spicy, authentic, flavors, not "pumpkin spice". A really clean, refreshing aftertaste. The cardamom really elevates the profile. So glad to have found this! Try it!
- Excellent Tea

- A very flavorful tea. I steep it for about 5 minutes or so. Instead of adding sugar or honey I keep a can of sweetend condensed milk on hand and use that. This is much better than paying four or five dollars at the local Starbucks or coffee house for.

- This is the best tasting chai I've ever had. I particularly like the fact that it does not have black pepper in it! It tastes quite a bit like my gingerbread.
