This is my 3rd box I have ordered and the first two were great this one not so much. Every pod i put in the machine collapses and it won't brew because its bent :( great tea though I guess I'll have to find a replacement.
I don't particularly like tea but I really like Chai tea and this one is very good. It smells spicy when brewing and all I do is add some sugar and French vanilla creamer and I have a great Chai latte. It makes me want to give some other teas a try.
I make chai at home, with fresh tea and homemade masalas. When I first had this - it didn't taste like the Chai I was used to. I then started adding warm milk, and then brewed my Kcup. I always have to add sugar, but I love how it is a tad spicy chai and then sweet.
Pros: High Quality, Fresh, Convenient, Aromatic, Energizing
It is such a robust tea. I enjoy sitting and drinking tea and just relaxing. I would so recommend it to anyone who drinks tea. Even my mom who is such a coffee drinker and would never drink anything else drinks my tea.
I have fallen in love, with a tea! I used to drink this in the late morning to get me through to the afternoon. I am now drinking this tea all day long. My only exception is first thing in the morning I drink Twinings English Breakfast Tea. I have tried several other brands of Chai. Some specifically made for K Cups some in bags. None had the flavor and scents of the Celestial Seasonings brand Chai. Many even used freeze dried tea and dried milk. These were not good. I don't think I am a tea snob, but I think you need to start with a good tea leaf and add the spices to get a good Chai. Not use the instant ingredients. This tea is the only one that is almost identical to Chai made for me by a relative who grew up in India. That is the best thing I can say about Celestial Seasonings Chai.
Pros: Aromatic, Convenient, Unique Flavor Profile, High Quality
