Blue Lotus Chai - Traditional Masala Chai - Makes 100 Cups - 3 Ounce Masala Spiced Chai Powder with Organic Spices - Instant Indian Tea No Steeping - No Gluten

THE TASTE ... If you love authentic chai, this is what you want. This is not sweetened, which is one of my fav things about it. It's spicy in the way it's supposed to be and the sweetness-spiciness balance is totally customizable (the best part). I always felt the concentrated chai tea in a box on the shelf at the store was way too sweet. THE VALUE ... This little tin lasts you a while. I have two hefty servings a day and one of this lil tins will last me over a month. You will save so much money making your chais this way vs using concentrated liquid in a box for $7/4 servings. THE PACKAGING ... Upon delivery, this little tin has come in a little cardboard box. The lid is secured with tape. It takes up much less space than the competetors concentrated liquid forms. It comes a little over half full and its perfect size makes it so easy to scoop even when there's only a little left. The little bamboo spoon is appreciated. TIPS ... for spicier tea, add more powder or less water/milk/sweetener. For sweeter tea, add more honey, sugar, agave, whatever. My recipe is about 6 oz of hot water and a heaping bamboo spoon of spices. Mix. Add about half tablespoon of honey and a splash (about 2 oz) of soy milk (it's sweeter). In the fall months, I'll make homemade pumpkin spice creamer and substitute that for the honey for a pumpkin spiced chai and it's 11/10 I have to give this 5 stars, I have nothing to complain about with this tea. I've reordered 4x and I'll continue to do so! If you're on the fence about ordering - just do it, you'll be happy. Most people may worry it won't taste good. I assure you, because you can sweeten this as much or as little as you'd like you will figure out what your own little recipe is. Thank me later

Wow, some of the best chai I’ve ever had. The ease of being to tasty and fully dissolvable is a feature worth the price tag. The 100 servings is a little deceiving, because who drinks only 8 ounces? Maybe you’re wanting just a tiny cup to sip quickly, but I think most people will need to use enough powder for 12-16 ounces, which would be about 1/2 tsp (50 servings) instead of the advertised 1/4 tsp (100 servings). A larger tin size option would be nice!

Incredible chai. I use about a half tablespoon plus a half teaspoon of powder in 16 oz. of liquid. I heat 8oz. filtered water with 6 oz. whole milk in a saucepan and who’s in the chai powder. When it’s hot, I pour it into a mug. After it cools a bit I add raw honey until I get the sweetness I want . Then I steam foam about 2 ounces of cream and add that on top. This is incredibly tasty, fresh, high-quality, and just amazing! I have replaced my morning coffee with it. It gives me a steady energy instead of a jittery high and then a crash later.

There are better chai's but I'm liking this - I like that I have the ability to add the sweetener (honey for me) so it never gets too sweet. It has a balanced spice taste and is convenient in that you can take it anywhere unlike pre-mixed liquid concentrates. My main criticism is it doesn't have that bite of a spicy chai - it's very easy going, and it won't offend the palate. I compare it to other chai's and find others have stronger spice profiles, a little more excitement. Definitely Bhakti Chai - a wow spice to it - can't beat it - but it's pre-mix with sugar is too sweet; it's pre-mix unsweetened lacks the punch. Tazo - too sweet but better on the spice. My best, favorite, chai is definitely Grizzly by SayWhen - nice spice, lower sugar. So, I tried spicing the hot water I used for Blue Lotus (and increasing the amount of chai mix)- adding cardamom, clove, sliced ginger and brewing the water. It improved the chai but never quite rose to the spicy level I look forward to - so for convenience this is the winner; for taste - a good second tier.

Love this chai! Perfect amount of spiciness zing with the ability to add a sweetener of your choosing to your preference level. Not even sure how many of these I’ve ordered at this point, but the last two I ordered together came without the advertised scoops which was a bummer, but not a deal breaker.

We've been drinking this chai for over 3 years now. It's incomparable .

Let's start with the pros: the product has a pleasant, albeit, weak flavor. It's easy to heat up some half and half to add to the drink, and I threw in a Stevia packet to sweeten it. Now for the negative aspects: when I opened the box, I was shocked at how small the can was. I don’t know what I was expecting for 3 ounces, but it was more than this. The can is no bigger than my fist as seen in the photo. I’m a small woman, and the can is even smaller. The can states that it will make 100 cups of tea. This is not even slightly accurate. I ended up doubling the recipe which calls for a quarter teaspoon of chai mix, and quite frankly it should’ve been tripled to make it even taste like normal chai. If you like a heavy spicy chai or a strong tea like I do, I don’t think this is the one to choose. Given the price of the product and what you get for it, it is not cost-effective in my opinion. I like the fact that it’s all natural/organic, etc., but there’s just not much bang for the buck here. If money is not an issue for you and you can afford to triple the recipe each time, then by all means I recommend it. If you’re used to strong tea without having to double or triple up the dose, then I don't recommend this product. I doubt I will buy it again.

After a year of loving this product I have finally gotten around to writing my review! I have ordered both the traditional masala chai and the mint chai. Both of these are amazing in flavor. The traditional is more spiced where the mint has a slightly cooler mouth feel with a mint flavor that is there and balanced with the rest of the spices. Is it as good as say an excellent chai made in a restaurant from scratch? No, but for the convenience, time savings, and price, especially price, I'd say this is really as good as it gets. I like my tea strong so I don't get the servings listed on the package. I make this in 16 oz increments since I drink from a tumbler and use about 1.5x the recommended serving (which is 2 super rounded scoops) I am probably about 50-55 cents PER 16oz drink I make in terms of the chai mix. Starbucks chai you can't get for less than $4. Most of the chai concentrates in stores have sugar and is high in calories. Also it's about 3-4 dollars for anywhere from 5-8 servings based on the brand that maybe gives 8-12 ounces per drink. So on an ounce per ounce drink cost this still blows those out of the water and tastes just as good if not better. I can undoubtedly enjoy this hot or iced. For iced I'll still mix with hot water to dissolve then fill the rest with my cold water ice and creamer of choice to taste. For anyone on keto this is my go to drink. I can have this with a sugar free/0 carb creamer. YES!! My fellow keto people you too can enjoy this chai on keto!! This is definitely a delight to have as a pantry staple. I love that the container assists in keeping everything fresh. I admire how it is shelf stable. I keep a traditional tin at my parent's place for when I visit knowing that it'll still be good when I visit. I appreciate that each flavor has it's own color tin. I am not always the most awake person first thing in the morning and it being "color coded" so to speak lets me make the correct decision without needing to read the container in my morning sleep haze. So in essence, this chai is a delicious staple to my home that is price, time, and keto friendly. I can't ask for more and that is why I give this a 5 star review.

Product is tiny. Not worth the value unfortunately.

My very favourite chai tea. I have tried many different chai teas, this is the best! There is a tiny spoon inside the container which allows you to make it as strong as you like it. I like a spicy chai and this one delivers. It dissolves instantly, you add your own sweetener and creamer and you will be able to enjoy a perfect cup of chai tea. I am obsessed with this product, it’s so tasty!

Lo uso en el desayuno y la leche queda riquísima. Ahora en verano con la leche fría no se disuelve bien, pero me encanta.

Me pareció un buen producto y muy práctico, ya que en sí, sólo es la mezcla de té y especias y no contiene azúcares, lo que permite endulzarlo al gusto o no incluso no endulzarlo. El envase es pequeño, pero basta con menos de una cucharadita para preparar una taza ya que el sabor es bastante concentrado.

Exquisito y súper fácil de preparar. Yo lo hago directamente calentando leche con la pequeña cucharadita disuelta en ella y queda delicioso.
