White Ayurvedic Chai

A delightfully tasty tea! I added a generous dollop of local honey to the pot and it’s balanced wonderfully with the spiciness of the tea. It reminds me a little of the mulled wine mix I use around the holidays – a Tudor recipe that calls for a lot of cardamon and cinnamon. Those two really stand out, and it does leave my tongue feeling a little dry. Other than that, I really enjoy it – the overall experience is worth it!

Love this tea. Yes, it has the taste of cinnamon “redhot” candies, but I love those! It is warm and sweet, smells of cinnamon and has a very calming effect. Just the smell of it puts me in a better frame of mind. Good for any time of the day, it is decaf.

I am very new to tea. my wife bout me this tea at Teavana. It smells very strong but very nice. The cinnamon and spicy pepper notes really come out. I usually steep for a bit longer than recommended and its perfect. I also usually re steep at least once and it is still very tasty.

This tea is ok. The sales associate recommended it with honeybush vanilla and I wasn’t impressed by the blend. I prefer the White Ayurvedic Chai on its own. I do like that a white tea is hydrating and can be resteeped, which are probably the greatest qualities of this tea.

It’s a strong spice, which I like. I prefer more flavor in my teas. It’s an easy tea to drink, I don’t find myself reaching for it often but when I feel the need for some healthy hydrating detox (esp in a hot bath!!) I do enjoy it.

So far my favorite Teavana tea. I remember when I first came in asking for their finest Chais. I smelt this tea and instantly put it on a pedestal. Unfortunately I left with another tea because the price seemed a bit too “steep.” Then come Christmas I bought it in bulk and have been drinking it almost daily.

Other notes are right to compare it to big red as there is a very strong cinnamon flavor, but the taste is more complicated then that. If I were you and found myself in a Teavana store, I would ask to have a whiff. It tastes like it smells, and it is Amazing.

I normally don’t put anything in it, and stick to the directions on the tin. It also tastes good with a little bit of sugar, and since it’s a white tea I’m not so paranoid of it staining my teeth.

Right before my auditions, a nice bronchodilator and a tasty low-caffine white tea.

I just got this with Teavana’s Tea of the Month Club and I love it. It contains a great mix of different flavors and I find that even when steeping it longer than recommended it still tastes delicious just stronger. I actually steeped the same leaves 3 times and the third steep while weaker was still very tasty.

A nice mild chai reminicent more of spiced cider than egnog.

Like another user mentioned, this tastes like spicy hot cinnamon candy. Cinnamon flavoured candy gives me a headache, and this has such a strong taste (and even smell) of cinnamon that I couldn’t take more than one sip (which makes me wary of all Teavana spicy teas). I love cinnamon used in small quantities in things like apple or pumpkin pie, cinnamon toast, or /other/ chais I’ve had, but in this one, “overpowering” is an understatement.

This is one of Teavana’s best teas. I am a fan.

I opened this tea for the first time and instantly smelled cinnamon then coughed from the pepper. There is a lot of pepper in this bag of tea.

I steeped 1 1/2 teaspoons according to the package for the recommended 2 minutes. Next time I will use more. This tea is very light and quite bland for me. And still the only thing I can smell with my nose in the mug is cinnamon and pepper. And the aftertaste it leaves – I guess I agree with others – it tastes like redhots. I was never really a fan of redhots.

Meh. It doesn’t have the good body of the Samurai Chai, but is….okay. I’m more partial to stronger teas, this is a “shy” flavor. Good for blending though

Another Teavana tea that I bought when I first started out in loose leaf brewing. This tea, like many others have said, tastes and smells like either “Big Red” chewing gum or those cinnamon candy hearts. Because of this, it tastes and smells artificial. The cinnamon overpowers any other aspect the tea might have had, even though it really wasn’t that strong. I wouldn’t describe the taste as “hot” or “spicy” like you’d expect in a cinnamon chai. It really just tastes like brewed Big Red without the hot aspect. It wasn’t undrinkable or bad, just uneventful and bland. I finished it, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
Definately not one I’d recommend to anyone looking for a good, flavorful chai. This one shouldn’t even be listed as one, regardless of the ingredients they put in it.

It’s ok

Good tea, realized (I am a newbie) that I am not crazy about chai as a white tea, just seems weak. The smell and taste are fantastic- just not strong enough for me but is a great way to have chai in the evening.

Very spicy, I actually have a hard time finding the white tea since there’s quite a bit of lemongrass. Not my favorite chai, but it was a gift and I really appreciate any gift of tea!

It has a cinnamon and ginger aroma and a light ginger taste. Not bad.

What a pleasant surprise! I’m usually wary of white teas on account of how easy it is to over-brew them, but thanks to the well balanced spice blend in this unique tea, any bitterness that might come through is well and truly masked.

ahhh the aroma. yummy.

Very light, decaf tea. When I first brewed it I didn’t realize it was a White tea. Light in flavor perfect for when you don’t need a pick-me-up or if you want to mix it with the Samauri Mate.
