VAHDAM Instant Chai Powder(3oz|100 Cups) Traditional Indian Masala Chai Tea

For an instant Tea, This is a very good Masala Chia tea, I love it, I've been drinking chi teas for a long time and this one of the best I've drank so far. However The container is too small and that silly little bamboo spoon, Its not design to scoop the tea out properly, it seems that your fingers always get some of the tea stuck on it, I would toss it out and just use a regular TEA spoon and average out the amount. But all in all it's a very good tasting tea. Love it.

I was looking for a good quality loose leaf chai that tasted similar to my standby Tazo (i.e. Starbucks), and this is an excellent replacement with a very similar spice profile (no ginger, which I actually prefer). When making chai, it is very important to consider your TOTAL final liquid amount when deciding how much of the tea to use (I use milk/water in equal amounts), and this could be why some people find it much too weak after adding milk. I actually do mostly cold brew these days and drink my chai cold more often than hot, but based on many reviews recommending boiling the mixture first, I did try that first. I started off by boiling the tea in water for several minutes, then letting it sit for a few hours to cool down, then straining out and adding milk. I did find that using just 1 teaspoon tea per cup of liquid was a bit weak, and I have settled on approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons tea per cup of chai, which is about perfect. After boiling the mixture the first couple times I made it, I wanted to see how it would do if I cold brewed it and how the strength/taste would compare. I added 4 1/2 teaspoons tea (plus 2 Tablespoons sugar) to a quart jar and covered it with 1 1/2 cups hot tap water (I let the tap get as hot as it could first), let it sit for a few hours. I then added milk to make 3 cups, placed in fridge overnight, and strained it out the next morning. I was very happy that it actually turned out great! I really did not notice any difference in flavor from when I boiled it, and the overall flavor was very similar to using the Tazo concentrate (Tazo seems to get some hate from tea purists but I love it). One last note: I think people underestimate how much sugar plays a role in making chai taste like chai (especially if you are used to drinking it in coffee houses like Starbucks or using the concentrate). When making something at home, you don't realize how much sugar actually goes into those concentrates. I have found that using about 2 teaspoons sugar per cup of liquid makes it sweet enough for me (but is still only about half of what goes into the concentrates!).

I haven’t tried it yet. Luckily this tea is in a vacuum sealed package and includes a second resealable bag and a flavor sticker. My issue is that there were two moth cocoons, a dead moth, and a live moth….which flew out at my face when I opened the box. Apart from this startling moment, the tea, when opened, is amazing and very fragrant. My first cup will be delicious as I expect. The packing facility or warehouses just need to get rid of the moths.

I gave this a 5 star because the product is excellent and they have done a good job. I add about 100 ml of water and 50 ml of milk measured intoa mug and heat in a microwave for 90 seconds. Then I add a little sugar and then 2 wooden heaped spoons of Vahdam powder and mix. My earlier way of making tea from the start used to take me 9 minutes and now I can finish between meetings and use this in less than 2 minutes. It tastes better than making the tea from scratch and does not need brew time. Aside from the product being good I have some peeves with the company. 1. The wooden spoon is very unwieldy and I am not comfortable using it as it is a thick spoon versus a think one. 2. I did not buy it because of the 100 cups and after 20 days of use the tin is half empty. I would avoid the message totally. 3. There is too much of messaging and the instructions for making the tea is sidelined and too small to read. Its like a marketing agency had to fill every inch of the tin with marketing messaging versus practical how to. GOod companies would have expanded from oz to ml and how to heat water and milk. I did not get a good taste when I followed the recipe so you should definitely improvize. Another reason I like this is that you can actually take this with you and use it in hotel rooms with hot water if you crave your early morning cup of tea. I would definitely recommend this product but needs better instructions.

I bought 2 containers (one for home & work) I use coconut milk/creamer in mine. I have recommended this product to many of my friends, will continue to purchase. Also love the tin w/ spoon zero plastic…very authentic and practical.

This tea is excellent! I would like to know how much caffeine is in the tea per serving. However the flavor is fabulous. I add a little honey and oatmilk and its perfect. Much better than the tea bags in my opinion. Flavor is bold and delicious!

This is a powdered chai spice, not an instant chai mix, so it requires some preparation. I purchased it under the impression that it was an instant chai that I could simply mix with water for a quick beverage. However, these are ground spices, and a similar mixture can be found for much less at Indian stores. While the spices do add some flavor to the tea, which tastes good, the label "Instant Chai" is misleading. To actually make chai, you need to boil the spices with loose tea or a tea bag and add milk to it. When you look at the picture the container looks quite big but when it came home I was surprised to see how small the container is. Nevertheless, the spices in it are ground well.

Absolutely delicious! The tin is sturdy and stacks nicely in my cupboard. I have found that it is moderately more potent if you let it brew in the cup, but just a scoop and a stir is already quite spiced as it is.

家でチャイを楽しむために購入。 本場のチャイっぽく、スパイスをしっかり感じられてとても美味しい。 今は高くなりすぎて買えません；；

Originale combinazione di tè nero con cardamomo, cannella, chiodi di garofano e pepe nero. Una delle più diffuse e apprezzate. Di certo rappresenta quella da cui partire alla scoperta delle infinite possibilità che dischiude un buon masala. In comparazione con altri suggerimenti proposti da Amazon, questo è pronto da consumare, quindi basta lasciare la quantità desiderata in infusione con l’acqua calda per il tempo indicato che di solito va dai 3 ai 6 minuti. Se ne suggerisce il consumo con del latte caldo. Per quanto sia possibile scegliere il tipo di latte o di bevanda vegetale da abbinare, la tradizione vorrebbe che si usasse il latte vaccino intero. Secondo la tradizione Ayurveda è un alimento ricco di sostanze nutrienti che aiutano l’organismo. Quindi non una semplice bevanda. Proseguiamo questa guida per scegliere il miglior tè chai con l’elenco dei pregi e dei difetti di questo prodotto. Pro Qualità:Ancora una volta Vahdam rende la sua produzione un vero e proprio manufatto, prestando massima attenzione e cura nella scelta e nella coltivazione delle piante migliori. Intensità:Ideale per chi ama i sapori forti e decisi, il cardamomo insieme con il pepe nero, la cannella e i chiodi di garofano sono un mix molto intenso e per questo molto apprezzato. Formulazione:Questi ingredienti mischiati insieme infatti, riescono a sprigionare le loro proprietà migliori, rendendo questa bevanda anche molto utile dal punto di vista della salute. Contro: Filtraggio:Ciò che non ha convinto alcuni degli utenti è il fatto che la componente sottile di questo tè supera il filtraggio con il comune colino metallico e trattiene invece gran parte dell’aroma con i filtri di carta, rendendo necessaria un’attesa maggiore del previsto.

First, I have seen the Vahdam Brand in US, in my recent visit. My son told me that this brand is genuine and famous in US. I observed very good reviews on Vahdam at Amazon.com. After returning to India I bought various teas of this brand and tasted. Out of all ,I like the Oolong tea and this Masala Chai. Earlier to my US visit I never take black tea, there I have habituated double spice black tea of STASH. While coming back to India, I brought the same Stash. But comparing to US Stash product, our "Vahdam's Masala Chai taken without milk" is excellent. This is cost effective also While comparing it with US black tea. Now I am very much habituated to this chai and Oolong black tea. Tastes good and feels fresh.

Really delicious. I add a bit of honey and a good dollop of milk. Just a perfect cup of chai.

Smaakt zoals het moet en heel lekker.
