This Chai powder from Waka is so good! I read reviews that said it was "too peppery" and after buzzing over the ingredients, had to try it. Most mass produced chai leans on cinnamon for the warmth you feel from the cup, but I prefer the depth that a broader range of flavors like ginger, cardamom and yes, black pepper lend. This delivers that depth and flavor with astonishing clarity. The powder comes in a rather small bag with a tiny scoop to dispense a measured serving amount. I like strong chai so based on another reviewer's advise, used two scoops in my first 10 ounce cup, which was actually strong, and sooooooooo nice. The powder is not sweetened, which allows an adjustment to your liking. I use dark brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey most of the time. Without the bulk sugar can add, those tiny scoops will go a long way. The bag says it makes 195 servings, but even at half that number it's a great value for around $10. In an 8 ounce or smaller cup, 1 scoop is plenty and delivers a softer but still very enjoyable experience. The flavor is consistent cup after cup, and displays accurately the ingredients used. That said, while the black pepper adds to the flavor, it is not overwhelming the more dominant aromatic components in the ginger, cardamom or cloves used. It reminds me of house chai I've had and made with a rich a sweet-spiciness. Whether it's served hot or cold, it warms your soul going down, I swear. One of the best things about this powder is you can use it for more than tea. I have added it to coffee, warm apple cider, I sprinkled some on vanilla ice cream(so good!!) and even added a couple scoops to some chicken in a skillet and served it on rice and that worked too! This will be a staple in my house moving forward.

This chai tea powder is delicious and exactly what I've been looking for. It contains only spices, with no fillers and no sugar. I have a hard time finding sugar-free chai at coffee shops, and on the rare occasion that I do, it tastes watered down. This powder mixed perfectly in hot water, and has a smooth, spicy taste. Since I wanted to mix it with my vanilla protein shake mix, I thought that 1/4 too wouldn't be enough. I used 1/2 teaspoon chai with 8 ounces hot water and 1 serving vanilla protein powder. The chai was way too strong. So, I recommend trying 1/4 teaspoon to begin with. The good news is that my sinuses are clear for the rest of the day.

I'm kind of between 3 and 4 stars on this one. I like it. It's tasty and it's easy to mix up. I do it by the quart in my coffee maker. It just doesn't have a real spice forward taste and I like my Chai like they make it in India, really robust. I'm up to 5-6 heaping scoops (they provide a measuring scoop in the bag) and I run a quart of hot water through into a Mason jar. Then I fill my glass with ice and pour about 3/4 of a glass with Chai and add some Milk to it. Super easy to fix. I love that it's sugar free. I just wish it had a stronger spice flavor. I like it hot or cold but I'm not much of a hot tea drinker (southern iced tea). When I put whole milk in rather than 2%, it has just the right texture/consistency. Evaporated milk works great too.

I LOVE Chai tea. I wasn't sure this would be worth my time but I decided to try it anyway since it would be easy to travel with. WELL.....I've already ordered a second time - it was that good, portable, and easy to use.

Not a convenience option. Product info says it's dissolving. So I was expecting something that dissolves, but it does not, even with professional grade agitation steaming and frothing, nor extra time. This chai requires ultra fine filtration to remove solids, or an appreciation for chewing woody herbal bits. I expected a similar product to Jaipur Avenue's barista chai powder bulk bag, which is dissolving, and available with or without dairy. I wanted something ready to add water/milk and serve, like QuikTeaChai or Nature's Guru Chai, but without the milk. This product seems to be a proper black tea powder that does dissolve, but combined with semi-coarse ground spices. If you like Blue lotus (black tea included) or Spicewalla's chai masala (no-tea blend) then this is a similar texture. There is nothing wrong with a chai mix that has to be filtered or gives chewy results. But this not marketed as that. It says repeatedly that it's dissolving. If you were expecting something the office nag wouldn't bark at you for pouring down the drain in the break room sink, this chai won't do. You'd still hear about how awful you are. This product is more pepper and ginger than both of those but does not eclipse the other spices. The flavor is a matter of personal taste, but is more India style than American pumpkin spice type. The flavor is fine, I just feel like I got conned with promises this product would never meet. We have some serious brew tools at our house and could not figure out a way to rescue the results in an instant-drink manner. Don't think you can outwit other reviewers' results and make this something it isn't and can't be. And it's not returnable.

We greatly enjoy the Waka Tea Powder Mix. I offered a cup to an Indian acquaintance, who wanted to try it without an dairy or oat milk. It passed her taste test. She asked me to please forward a photo of the bottle to her. My British friend, who typically drinks English breakfast tea, also enjoyed it as an afternoon cuppa. So I think it’s passed enough taste tests that I can highly recommend it. In fact, it’s tea time now! It is a bit spicy, but if it wasn’t spicy, it wouldn’t be chai

I love this product. I use much more than suggested for my latte and it comes out tasting just like a starbucks chai without all the added sugar. I use whole earth sweetener to keep the calories and sugar lower and it’s exactly what I hoped it would be. Since it’s a powder not a liquid concentrate the shelf life is much longer as well. Highly recommend this high quality product.
