From Rishi Tea

A robust and full-flavored black tea blended with our traditional Indian Masala spices. The bold flavor of our select shade-grown black tea presents full notes of cardamom, ginger and clove that is zesty and stimulating. Masala Chai should be brewed strong and served sweet with steamed milk and sugar.

Made this half strength (split a sample packet with a friend). I loved it at this strength, my friend felt it would have been to her liking full strength. The spices are in perfect harmony. The smell of cardamom when I opened the package blew me away (in a good way, I love cardamom). This is the best Chai I’ve had. I’m definitely willing to try their concentrate.

This isn’t tea so much as it is dessert. One of our favorite cold-weather treats. Follow the instructions on the can, and have a good strainer system ready.

Delicious!!! This is one of the best chai’s I have had in a long time. The first time I got this chai I steeped it too long and drank it straight. It was horrible. But after taking some of the advice from others on this blog, it became one of my favorites!

This ranks as one of the best masala chai on the market.
I’ve tried blends from various tea shops and Rishi’s version wins hands down. It’s probably the extra dried ginger that gives it an extra kick.

I don’t normally have milk in the house, and I don’t normally put milk in my tea.

But I made a recipe the other day that called for some milk, so when this packet of tea came, I figured that this was as good a way as any to use up some of the leftovers.

I followed the directions on the package to steep the tea in boiling water and milk over the stove. The flavor is very good, and the milk makes it very rich and appropriate for the weather we’re having (even though I’ve not actually been outside today except to get the package of tea from UPS). I think that the package directions make it a bit too strong, though, possibly because the tea starts steeping before the water is boiling and continues steeping while stirring in the sugar. So next time I will try it with a bit less tea and steeping for a bit less time, and perhaps I will like it better.

By far my favorite masala chai. I like it hot, with milk and just a teeny dash of sugar.

This is one of my all-time favorite masala chais. It gives me heartburn occasionally, though.

Best store-bought chai I’ve had so far. Single cup. Nice balance of flavors.
