Masala Chai Organic Black Loose Leaf Tea, Caffeinated, 1lb

This is by far the best chai I have ever had, and that is saying a lot because I have tried many, as it’s my favorite drink. This loose leaf chai has such incredible depth of flavor and is a perfectly balanced blend of spices. I was disappointed in RISHI’s liquid chai concentrate in comparison to their loose leaf chai so I made my own. In my opinion their concentrate lacks the depth of flavor of their loose leaf, and it is much too sweet for my taste. I’ve come up with my own recipe using their tea and it’s pretty delicious so I’ll share that below. I have a 1 liter Bonavita kettle so I use that to boil the water to 212F. I add 60 grams loose leaf RISHI chai to a 1/2 gallon jar, and 175 grams honey and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to another. Then I pour the first liter of boiling water into the jar with the tea and let it steep for 5 minutes. While that’s steeping I get another liter of water boiling. Then I strain the tea that’s been steeping into the jar with the honey and vanilla. And then I pour the second liter of boiling water into the tea leaves and let that steep for 5 minutes. Strain that into the other jar, stir well, leave out until it gets to room temperature and then refrigerate. Delicious iced chais anytime you want! I usually do 2/3 concentrate to 1/3 whole milk and sometimes a dash of cinnamon. To simplify, that’s: 60 grams loose leaf chai 175 grams honey 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2x 1 liter kettle @ 212F, for 5 minutes Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Hope this saves someone some time.

Smells amazing as soon as you open the bag. The spices taste fresh and well balanced. Not too strong and not too mild. Makes a comforting cup of chai, especially in the morning. Works great with milk or without. Leaves brew nicely without bitterness. High quality tea. Really deliciuos.

My very favorite tea because of the rich, pure taste and aroma!

I did some research on chai (which in Hindi means "tea") & this is an upper tier/one of the best organic chai teas. When you open the box and then open the sealed package which contains the lovely tea bag, the scent is delightful. I love the flavor of this Chai and especially the fact that it's organic. You would be surprised about tea growing and pesticide use. I have a colleague who also found this tea delightful. A wonderful drink in the morning or afternoon. I get 2 cups of tea out of 1 tea bag. The bags are in an individually sealed pack, so they are not exposed to the air after opening the box. Unopened they can last 1 year if kept in a cool, dry place. The whole tea making/drinking experience is simply lovely. I will purchase again ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this tea, and I would have given it a five-star rating. However, due to inclement weather, I received a very wet box. This could have been avoided if the delivery had been made on time, which was the day before. Alternatively, the delivery person could have knocked on my door and handed me the tea while I was home.

I don't write many reviews, but this has amazing flavor. I had been ordering Vandham double spiced chai, but it doesn't have enough spice for me. Since I ordered this, I have been doing one teaspoon of the the vandham and one teaspoon of this, and the result is out of this world. I haven't tried just two teaspoons of this yet.

The best blend I’ve tried on Amazon so far. I add a little salt and oat milk, some honey and oh my. Sooo sooo yummy.

Some good stuff aye!
