Kama Sutra Chai from Shanti Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 24th, 2024
This makes a very sweet, floral chai, which is not surprising, since it contains 3 kinds of flowers, in addition to cinnamon and other spices. The flavor is a little extravagant, but nice. I see that my review is very different from Alex's - maybe the formula has changed, or perhaps our taste buds are different.

Chai Spice Black Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????68 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 5th, 2024
Here's another tea that has been around a long time, but somehow, I haven't tried nor reviewed it until now! A restaurant in Minnesota served this tea on good water, and I got a second bag to take home and chug as well.
Both times, the impression I got was: this is a pleasantly good, herb-dusted cinnamon infusio...
Kadak Masala Chai from Udyan Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Assam, India67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 31st, 2024
This is an ok chai, the aroma is nice. It seems the cardamom and cloves are the 2 spices that most come through in this blend, I wish there was a little more flavor and aroma. It's a bit astringent and I would probably prefer this with milk. It's a little thin too, it's definitely not my favorite cup of chai but it was...

Organic Masala Chai Black Tea from Wegmans
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: India85 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 22nd, 2024
I really enjoy this tea! Disclaimer: I'm cleaning out my old tea cabinet and found this tea from 2014, so it is 10 years old now. Despite its old age this tea stayed very pleasant tasting, it was mellow and warm and comforting. The black tea itself mellowed out which I don't mind, and the spices like cardamon and cinna...

Vanilla Spice from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Vanilla Chai – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 28th, 2023
Looking over the large ingredients list for a loose tea (Keemun and Ceylon tea, cinnamon, ginger, fennel, cocoa nibs, cardamom seeds, roasted carob, Indian sarsparilla root, natural and artificial flavors), it seemed a little disjointed. I wasn't sure this was going to work. I'll assure that it does, very nicely.

Mélange de Chamonix from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 19th, 2023
This seems like it was named for the ski resort in the French alps, and I could see brewing a pot of this after a day on the ski slopes. I have had if in the past and liked it, but this batch I am rating in 2023 is not up to their standard imo. The flavors seem weak and the overall experience is a little watery. It i...

Chai Tea from Teapigs
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend88 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 1st, 2023
I bought this 15-sachet sack for a couple bucks less, at the same suburban Dallas H-E-B store as Chai Diaries' 15-sachet can of Bombay Masala Chai. Teapigs' chai, while still somewhat expensive, is *far* better, each pyramid sachet holding about twice as much content, filling it up when wet, with noticeably higher qua...

Cinnamon Stick® Black Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 27th, 2023
Somehow, this Bigelow offering escaped me for many years, but it finally emerged from hiding and surrendered to my tea-greedy clutches at a Denver-area hotel—and only then, because striking a huge deer at full speed east of town totaled my vehicle. After that ordeal, and stuck at the hotel amid 30 hours of cold rain...

Masala Chai Black Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 25th, 2023
I do like that fact that real masala chai blends are now available in the USA, since it is a style that I enjoy, but this is not a favorite. The gingerbread aroma is nice, but there is too much hot pepper in this for my palate, and not enough cardomom and cinnamon. You might like it if you enjoy lots of black pepper i...

Bombay Masala Chai from Chai Diaries
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????56 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 8th, 2023
Here's a tea that seems to work the gourmet/artisan angle hard, presumably in order to justify the exorbitant cost, and just doesn't live up to the billing. The first thing I noticed about the dry bags (fairly standard-sized pyramid sachets with string and tag) is that the dry product only filled about 1/4–1/5 of it...

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...

Oct. 17th, 2022
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. ...

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

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...

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...
