BLUE LOTUS CHAITraditional Masala Chai - Makes 530 Cups - 1 Pound Bulk Bag Masala Spiced Chai Powder with Organic Spices - Instant Indian Tea No Steeping - No Gluten

After a year of loving this product I have finally gotten around to writing my review!I have ordered both the traditional masala chai and the mint chai. Both of these are amazing in flavor. The traditional is more spiced where the mint has a slightly cooler mouth feel with a mint flavor that is there and balanced with the rest of the spices. Is it as good as say an excellent chai made in a restaurant from scratch? No, but for the convenience, time savings, and price, especially price, I'd say this is really as good as it gets.I like my tea strong so I don't get the servings listed on the package. I make this in 16 oz increments since I drink from a tumbler and use about 1.5x the recommended serving (which is 2 super rounded scoops) I am probably about 50-55 cents PER 16oz drink I make in terms of the chai mix. Starbucks chai you can't get for less than $4. Most of the chai concentrates in stores have sugar and is high in calories. Also it's about 3-4 dollars for anywhere from 5-8 servings based on the brand that maybe gives 8-12 ounces per drink. So on an ounce per ounce drink cost this still blows those out of the water and tastes just as good if not better.I can undoubtedly enjoy this hot or iced. For iced I'll still mix with hot water to dissolve then fill the rest with my cold water ice and creamer of choice to taste. For anyone on keto this is my go to drink. I can have this with a sugar free/0 carb creamer. YES!! My fellow keto people you too can enjoy this chai on keto!!This is definitely a delight to have as a pantry staple. I love that the container assists in keeping everything fresh. I admire how it is shelf stable. I keep a traditional tin at my parent's place for when I visit knowing that it'll still be good when I visit. I appreciate that each flavor has it's own color tin. I am not always the most awake person first thing in the morning and it being "color coded" so to speak lets me make the correct decision without needing to read the container in my morning sleep haze.So in essence, this chai is a delicious staple to my home that is price, time, and keto friendly. I can't ask for more and that is why I give this a 5 star review.

The Blue Lotus Chai Traditional Masala Chai powder looks promising for chai lovers. Here are some points to consider:### Flavor Profile- **Spices**: As a traditional masala chai, it likely contains a blend of spices such as cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, which are essential for that authentic chai flavor.- **Sweetness**: Depending on the preparation, you might need to add sweeteners to enhance the flavor.### Convenience- **Ease of Use**: The label mentions it’s ready to use, making it a quick option for a comforting cup of chai. The promise of making 100 cups from a 3.0-ounce container is impressive, suggesting that a little goes a long way.### Dietary Considerations- **Gluten-Free and Vegan**: This makes it accessible for those with dietary restrictions.### Packaging- **Design**: The packaging is straightforward, providing clear information about what to expect. However, consider if the container is resealable for freshness.### Overall ImpressionIf you're looking for a convenient way to enjoy masala chai with a traditional flavor, this powdered tea could be a great choice. Just be mindful of the preparation instructions to get the best flavor out of the product.

I know I used this when I first bought and then stuck in the cupboard and forgot about it. I clean cupboards in the spring and there it was. We have rainy weather and chai tea sounded good and that sweet spicy aroma. This is a small tin; however, it is very concentrated and a very small scoop is provided. Use it -- you do not need more. Add some brown sugar to your cup, the little scoop of tea, pour in boiling water and froth some milk for a topper. It is a bit spendy, but I do believe the 100 brewed cups, so good value. I used to buy the spice mix and boil and strain, etc. This is so much easier with the same taste. Really good.

like many things, I had to learn a bit about this product before I realized how enjoyable it is. as far as the product, it is adjusting and learning how much to use. about making tea, how I heat the water, do I and how I heat the milk, and choosing a sweetener is fun (mostly just use sugar). leave the last little sip in the cup. a chai latte is a nice choice from having a cup of coffee

LOVE this tea!! It's full flavored and add a little dairy creamer to it and you don't need any sugar! It completely dissolves in hot water and there's no tea bag to worry with. It comes with it's own tiny wooden spoon for a serving size so there's no worrying with a measuring spoon either. I keep a can on hand when ever I want a change of flavor in my hot drink. I great value as it has about 100 servings per can.

My cousin put me on to this concoction, and my quality of life is better for it. I love high quality items that can be produced simply. This fits the bill. It is what Ethiopians (and other ethnic groups) mean when they say tea. Not just some Lipton bag, but the tea plus the spices. Add milk and honey as needed.

The containers are super small!

It's great! The kick is great too, if you're a wuss just use less.
