BLUE LOTUS CHAITea - Traditional Masala Chai - Makes 100 Cups - 3 Ounce 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.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Once you get the ratio of water / tea / milk correct for your specific taste needs, this stuff is delicious. I put about 1/4 tsp tea and about a quarter of boiling water together, stir, and add sweetener. Then I fill the rest of my mug with milk, and then warm it in the microwave for about 30 sec. It's delicious ---- rich flavor, very satisfying.

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.

this is the first chai powder i've used so i can't compare it to others, but it's definitely a spicier chai and has a strong cardamom flavor — if you're not into either of those things, this isn't the chai for you. i love that it's unsweetened so i can choose my own sweetness level.i make a Chocolate Chai with it as follows (makes 1 serving):3 heaping wooden spoons of chai1.5 cups oat milk1tbsp guittard cocoa rouge1tsp turmeric1tbsp maple syrup1/4tsp vanilla extract (optional)dandies vegan marshmallows (optional)put everything in a small saucepan and turn the heat on medium-high. i let it come to a rolling boil, such that the liquid starts to rise and almost boils over, before lifting the pan off the burner and letting the liquid go back down. i do this three times. i feel like it creates a creamier consistency, though i have no idea if this is actually true or not. you could just heat it on medium until it's piping hot and ready to sip. super tasty winter treat!note that this chai powder already has black pepper in it which is necessary to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric, so you don't need to add any.

SO HAPPY I finally found a good chai mix without additives! The typical chai mixes with sugar and powdered milk are usually way too sweet for me, plus they only make 5-10 cups per container since you have to use so much to make a decent chai. I’m on cup 8 and not even halfway through this bad boy. Definitely recommend making with a milk instead of water, and when they say to heap the scoop DON’T BE SHY. Add a teaspoon of sugar or honey and this is 10x better than the sugary mixes imo, makes way more cups of chai, and has a comparable price. Will definitely buy again.

This tea is so good! I love that it doesn’t have any dairy or sugar in it and you can put in whatever you want at home. You only use 1/4 teaspoon per cup which should yield 100 cups!
