VAHDAMDouble Spice Masala Chai Tea (50+ Cups, 3.53oz) Strong, Robust & Spicy Blend - Black Tea CTC, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves & Black Pepper | Pure Unblended Loose Leaf Tea | Vacuum Sealed

Delicious most authentic chai I’ve tried. And I’ve tried a bunch. Double spice is the perfect amount of spice. Little pricier than other options but blow everything else I’ve tried out the water.

My first box of this tea came last night. This morning I made my first cup, and I am totally pleased. From some of the reviews I expected this tea to be too spicy or harsh, but I find it a perfectly balance blend of all spices--definitely not too peppery. I like a strong Chai tea, and it seems that there is quite some wiggle room for strength on how much tea I add to my water, but what I had this morning was wonderful. It's so much better than any of the tea bags I have tried, including the "big" names, and I don't buy the liquid Chia mixes. I like being able to control the sweetness. I have an adorable 1 quart vintage Descoware beanpot that I use for brewing my tea, and I filled it with about 20 ounces of water and added about 1 flat teaspoon of tea. I was surprised that the tea didn't color the water - it was fairly unimpressive just sitting on the bottom of the pot, but after the water come to temperature, everything hydrated and I ended up with a lovely pot of dark, fragrant tea. I boiled it for a few minutes, added my milk and unrefined sugar and brought it back to the boil. All told, it took about eight minutes to make enough tea for two large cups--far less time than it took me feed the cats and make my bed. I let the pot simmer on low until I was ready to have my tea, and it was awesome. About an hour later I had my second cup -it was still hot from the cast iron pot and equally wonderful. I totally see why so many people have written to say they have found their perfect Chai tea. It also comes thoughtfully packaged with an extra sealable bag to keep it fresh -the packaging shows pride in product. This won't be the only box I buy, for sure.

AMAZING!!! I just got this today, had a cup, added a little warm milk and honey. Love it! The packaging is really nice and of excellent quality, also. This is definitely on my reorder list.

New review: After spending a few days with the tea I can say that I brew this tea strong (1 and 1/2 tsp to 1 tbsp tea per 8 oz filtered water) let steep only 2-3 min then add to equal measure animal or plant milk . this makes a wonderful Masala Chai . this weekend I try to fully boil-brew the tea and see how it goes. The key was steep time just 2-3 minutes maximum . you can get two steeps out of the tea this way.Original Review: I bought some double spice chai. The box that arrived is nice, containing two small vacuum sealed packages, an extra resealable bag and a few inserts. I brewed up a cuppa using the suggested weight (2g) and filtered water (200 ml) . it has a nice spiced flavor that is blended well. The initial flavor is that of astringent tea really nice with brown sugar and milk which brings out the flavors of cardamon and cinnamon as well!. its astringency cuts through curry taste well and clears the palette too. I will likely add a bit more tea next time but I am happy with my purchase!!!!

This tea is SO good! I’m a huge Earl Gray fan and also a huge chai fan so when I saw they had an earl gray chai I had to order. Possibly the best cup of tea I’ve ever had. I boiled 1 cup of water, added 3 teaspoons of loose tea and simmered for 3 min. then added 1 cup of whole milk and simmered for 3 more minutes. I like to add a little splash of vanilla extract and some real maple syrup for sweetness once off the heat. Use a fine mesh strainer and drain over your cup. You just won’t be sorry. Try it!

Great tea!

The aroma on the double spice chai literally filled my whole home. Based on that I thought this was going to be so good.I was trying to brew some so I could make lattes quickly in the mornings. The first batch I did I measure according to directions and used double the tea. Made 48 oz. The color told me first that I might be a little on the weak side. I mixed it with half the milk I usually would and was very disappointed. Tasted watered down barely any spice.So I made another batch triple strength. Darker in color but not much better in strength.The package also states that it has 50 servings with 1 teaspoon being a serving per 7 ounces of water. Each batch I used two 24 ounce mason jars. Each jar in the first batch had 6 teaspoons of tea. Each jar in the second batch had 9 teaspoons of tea. I’m left in the package with approximately four more teaspoons. Nowhere near 50 servings. I guess my hunt for an easy chai is back on.

I love this tea! I make no claim to expertise, but I have tried many teas, and this is the one I want to drink on a daily basis. The name "Daily Darjeeling" is thus quite apt. The second brew is as good as the first, and even a third brewing is quite drinkable.
