Blue Lotus Chai - Traditional Masala Chai - Makes 530 Cups - 1 Pound Bulk Bag 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I purchased this brand because I wanted a Chai that didn't have sugar, because I am looking to cut sugar and get healthier. I wish this brand said that it has Cassia cinnamon in it and not the true healthy Ceylon cinnamon in it. I drink chai daily but I won't drink this one daily since consuming too much Cassia can be really dad for you. Ceylon on the other hand has many health benefits. That being said you only use 1/4 teaspoon so I am not too worried since I only drink one cup a day and this one tastes great! Plus not one bit of sugar.

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.

This makes a real chai tea latte at home. I've tried different mixes and they just don't do the trick flavor wise. They taste like the box hot chocolate mix version of a chai latte at best and not even that enjoyable, not anything resembling something you would get at a good cafe. And they are pretty unhealthy and I was trying to make better decisions and watch my calories and the content of what I was eating more when I first tried it. Thrilled to have found this. The other ways to make a real chai at home are great, but are more work. This is simple and delicious. I make mine by dissolving it completely in boiling hot water and then adding in frothed milk. I use a handheld milk frother, which is simple to use and clean and also inexpensive. You can test it as you start using it to get the best mix for your own taste. I use about equal parts hot water and milk. I've tested out all variety of milks - 2%, 1%, soy, oat, almond. It tastes good with them all, so you just have to pick your favorite type of milk. I also add in raw honey and sugar to my tastes. Raw honey is thicker, so I've found it best to add the honey to the hot water with the chai already dissolved, before I add the milk. Like I said, you'll figure out a method that suits your tastes. If it seems to strong for you, then add more milk or use a bit less of the chai blend. If too peppery, maybe add more milk, but also, you should shake the tin, it might have settled a bit unevenly. My first few chai lattes were good, not great. It took a few attempts to get on the path to getting the taste just right for me. I used too much mix the first time, hadn't shaken it, so it tasted strong and peppery. Next day was better, the day after better than that as I got the correct ratios of milk, honey, and sugar to suit my taste. Needless to say, I highly recommend this and hope it is made forever.

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.
