Grabbed this for a morning cup in the hopes that it would wake me up a little, as well as warm me up. It’s an ok chai, not too exciting to be honest. I added a generous amount of rock sugar and quite a bit of milk to make it more latte like (I love Starbucks chai lattes LOL) but it really is kind of bland. It’s passable, but I wish it had more spice to it to make it more exciting. If you’re looking for a milder indian chai, then this would probably do for you :)

Had this in my cupboard for who knows how long, so I pulled it out to try today. I have to say I don’t like it quite as much as the Bigelow Vanilla Chai, but it’s not bad. I didn’t add milk and that might make it more enjoyable. Not much else to say about this one!
It’ll do. I’d rather spend money on a better chai, though, if I’m going this route. More middling than any other Twinings blend I’ve tried so far…and I’ve tried a lot. Kind of disappointing in its mediocrity. At least it doesn’t suck.
P.S. Yes, Andy, it’s chai. XD
Just bought this – still on the search for a quick and easy chai… this is not great, but doesn’t totally suck. It’s kind of weak. You have to drink it really hot, because as it cools the flavor changes and gets kind of icky.
I liked this pretty well. I drank it plain while eating some (very) sweet cake. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth so the spice/chai taste evened things out well. I can’t compare it with any other chai teas though, the only other kind I’ve ever purchased my sister drank all of it before I could get any.
I used to dislike chai, but I got used to it (even started craving it!) from this specific indian restaurant in Berkeley, CA. After moving I went on a hunt for that perfect chai blend, and this tea is the closest I got. Nowadays I’ve actually switched to making my own chai (very easy with a few basic spices, tons of recipe variations online) using some loose-leaf assam tea, but this is a decent bagged chai that I like to have at work. Its great with milk, and I tend to avoid adding sweeteners but its good with a bit of sugar too. My favorite part is that it is still pretty good without any additives either, so very convenient for away-from-home.
I’m gonna have to say although i am a fan of twinnings teas, i’d rather seek out a more potent chai experience.
This was one of my favorite teas before Twinings stopped making it in June 2009. (Now they have a variety of chai, none of which are as good.)
I think it’s a really nice and relaxing tea, if you drink it with milk. It’s OK without milk,too, but then you’ll have to leave it in until you’re finished drinking.
Not excessively spiced, good for late night drinking, or to go with spiced meats at dinner.
This one is a little less spiced than usual, I like it as a light chai to drink later in the evening.
Dude, I’m so frigging chai right now.
