Upton Pumpkin Spice Chai from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 15th, 2023
A mellow pumpkin spice tea, featuring the spices one would expect (e.g. ginger, cinnamon, clove, etc.) I tasted vanilla in the mix, but it does not contain vanilla. Maybe that was coming from sunflower petals or natural flavorings. I am glad they did not overdo the clove or allspice or nutmeg, that is a mistake that...

One-litre pot at home, made from a mixture of black tea leaves, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, ginger, and cardamom, all organic. Pours slightly hazy dark brown (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of black tea leaves and cinnamon, with notes of ginger and touches of pepper. Bitter, leafy flavour with notes o...

Chai Masala from Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea Co
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend37 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 9th, 2022
I first tried this tea on vacation, at a breakfast cafe in Stowe, VT, that was way overpriced for what's offered. That's a description fitting pretty much everything in the area except for the fabulous Piecasso Pizza and any of the Trapp Family's Austrian desserts. That I naively paid about three bucks for a small cu...

Spiced Apple Chai from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend35 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 4th, 2022
This tea is all about the added flavors. The dry tea smells strongly of green apple peels. Adding hot water brings out a bit of spice, predominantly cinnamon.
I don't taste or smell any tea. The flavor is mostly cinnamon with a bit of ginger heat and some apple in the background and tastes like those powdered hot ci...
Chai Walla from SerendipiTea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 13th, 2022
Like a lot of SerendipiTea's products, this is both organic and kosher. The recipe is straightforward: black tea, ginger, cinnamon, anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Prepared the traditional way (which I learned how to do during a visit to India), this makes a well-balanced, flavorful, and pleasantly sweet and spicy chai. ...

Cup at home, made from a sachet containing a mixture of black tea leaves, pieces of ginger, cloves and star anise, all organic and sprinkled with natural flavourings. Pours slightly hazy copper brown (against white china) with negligible sediment. Clear aroma of anise, cloves and ginger, with touches of black tea leave...

Ultra Spice Chai from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????84 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 4th, 2021
The aroma is nice and spicy. I like the flavor as well. It was definitely present but not as intense as "ultra" might imply. I didn't sweeten it, but I think it could do well both sweetened or unsweetened depending on one's mood. Overall, this is a solid bagged tea!

Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon86 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 10min (per tea), sample bag, 8oz
Aroma: Very traditional cinnamon and spice aromas jump out of the mug here. I’m expecting this to be quite spicy. 9/10
Flavor: Fairly good pop of cinnamon and clove notes. This doesn’t overwhelm your palate with spice but it bring back memories of chai spiced la...
Chocolate Chai Pu Erh from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp for 16oz.
Aroma: I often am critical of chai teas because they are too balanced. Typically, I want the spice when I go for chai. This blend delivers. Quite spicy, plenty of chocolate in the nose. 9/10
Flavor: There is not a disparity between the aroma and flavor which is nice. Ve...
Organic Vanilla Chai from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 14th, 2020
A little funny having a black tea before bedtime; however, the cab says low caffeine. David’s would not mislead me, right?
Prep: 2.5 tsp, 16oz, 200F, 7.5 minutes (directions say 205 for 7 minutes).
Aroma: You really get the vanilla notes on this one. The cinnamon pops pretty nicely as well. With the aroma bei...

Chai Love from Tiesta Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 11th, 2020
Appearance: Fairly saturated reddish brown. Looks pretty much the part of chai.
Aroma: Here is my conundrum. The tea smells so spicy and aromatic in the tin but the liquid is more of a black tea, malty presence with some mild cardamom.
Taste: This is a solid chai tea. It has really good malty notes but I’d l...

Chai Classic (Formerly Organic Tazo Chai) from Tazo Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 7th, 2020
It seems that many before me have been bigger fans of this than I am. That said, this tea is fine for the teabag price point.
Aroma: The spice is there. It’s a bit muddy but you know this is a spiced tea very easily.
Flavor: Prepared as the box states but there isn’t much here. A bit of a spiced water but ...
Chai Hara from Harney and Sons
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 1st, 2020
This seems to be an inexpensive Chinese gunpowder tea perked up with some spices - cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, fennel, ginger, and artificial flavorings to be exact. The resulting flavor is light but good, and the price is reasonable. Interestingly, they do not recommend preparing this chai in the traditio...

Bombay Chai from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend86 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 18th, 2020
I was a little uncertain what to expect here, since Murchie's teas generally are very good to excellent, but their bagged "Traditional Chai" offering was somewhat flat and disappointing. No worries..."Bombay Chai" lives up to the name, and is a worthy addition to the tea shelf on your pantry, especially if you like yo...

Cardamom Masala Chai from Vahdam Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Kerala, India50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 27th, 2020
I enjoyed this tea but, in my opinion, it lacked aroma, robustness and body. The balance between the cardamom and the tea was ok, the caradamom was not overwhleming but the tea aromas were too subtle for me.
I like Vahdam teas, but this one wasn't one of my favourite cups.

Chai Te (Nr. 907) from Carstensens Tehandel

Mar. 22nd, 2020
Half-litre pot at home, made from small, fine very dark brown Assam leaves and tiny pieces of cloves, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon. Pours nearly clear lightish copper brown (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of cinnamon and cloves, with touches of Assam. Bitter flavour of black tea, distinct with spic...

Chai Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 9th, 2020
Since I like chais a lot in general, I thought I'd try this one on for fun and variety, after seeing it deeply discounted at a Sprouts. Maybe there's a good reason it was discounted a lot.
The dry-bag aroma is all cinnamon, and quite strongly so. The wet-bag aroma was almost all cinnamon, not quite as strong, but ...
Massala Chai Cream Te (Nr. 36) from Wohlenberg
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 6th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home, made from small, curly black and dark brown leaves of black tea, with small pieces of dried ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and cardamom. Pours slightly hazy darkish amber (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of cinnamon and caramel, with mild notes of vanilla and black tea...

Enticing Chai (Spiced Chai Flavored Black Tea) from Lipton Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????57 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 18th, 2020
In an apparent ode to Back to the Future, Lipton, or at least its corporate boss Unilever, is again referring to this simply as, "Spiced Chai", as of Feb. 2020. Whether this is a renaming of their chai just for food-service purposes, or for keeps across the brand, remains to be seen. I uploaded a photo of the latest ...

Chai (formerly Indian Spiced Chai) from Twinings
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 7th, 2020
I got a coupon from Twinings to replace some decaffeinated Earl Gray, which was really quite awful, and I decided to spend it on this.
The spices were a tad different than other chai tea bags I'd had before. I've had chai in restaurants and have bought tea bags in the Indian sector of a nearby city, and the spices i...

Bombay Chai from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????61 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 30th, 2020
I love chai overall, so they tend to skew high in my ratings unless they either simply suck, or as in this case, are "just" decent while being overpriced. [Though I was served a couple bags of this tea at a Corner Bakery outlet, I based "value" on the online pricing.] My version came in a rectangular sachet sewn on t...

Cinnamon Stick® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 16th, 2019
For a bagged tea, this isn't bad. It diffuses quickly and has a pleasantly strong aroma and flavor. The cinnamon is at a good intensity for me and it blends well with the black tea. This will be part of my collection of bagged teas at work from now on.

Traditional Chai Tea Bags from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend71 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 22nd, 2019
Although good, and a decent value for the currency-adjusted price, this tea fell slightly off expectations for a company that usually yields outstanding quality. Maybe the loose-leaf version is better, and the latter certainly smelled amazing in their Victoria store.
The dry-bag smell was curiously weak in cinnamon...

Chai Love from Tiesta Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2019
I love chai, so I tried Chai Love. It was one of the least chai-like of chais I've had, but yet, still strangely satisfying and tasty. It also had perhaps the greatest aromatic discrepancy I've encountered between dry-leaf, in-cup and wet-leaf scents.
The dry leaf is the most truly chai-like sensation (smell or t...
