light cinnamon tasteJan 14, 2006
By Charlie Girl
"4x4girl"
It's a feel good tea. When you need a little something different this light cinnamon taste and smell is so comfortable and enjoyable. Sometimes adding a little milk and sugar is good and sometimes just plain is good. Haven't tried it iced yet but I'm thinking in summer I will. We recently switched to tea after noon... replacing the afternoon pot of coffee. Sometimes I like it so much I think I may give up coffee. Will have to try the other varieties made by Tazo Chai... there is a wake up one that might completely replace my coffee.

Tazo Chai Is Great!Jan 30, 2005
By C. D. White
"Just Looking"
Tazo Chai tea in the filter bag has an aroma and taste I love. I also drink Stash Chai, but I prefer Tazo Chai because it adds a small and pleasant bite. That may be because its spices include pepper and anise. I fix it every morning, 14 oz. at a time, using one or two tea bags (depending on how sparky I feel at the time). I add two bags of Splenda and two ounces of skim milk. The result is 16 oz. of pure, low-calorie pleasure.

India's Original Spiced Milk Tea.Nov 09, 2005
By Themis-Athena In many languages around the world, "chai" simply means "tea." In India, however, the word denotes a specialty that to tea lovers even in the West is fast becoming what cappuccino already is to coffee lovers: spiced milk tea.
Chai comes in a variety of recipes that differ from region to region, although traditionally it consists of a blend of black tea, rich milk, various spices and a sweetner. The spices most commonly used are cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and pepper; Tazo's very peppery Chai adds rooibos, vanilla, star anise and chicory to the traditional recipe.
You should always have this tea with real sugar, even if you have all your regular tea without any kind of sweetener, because only sugar will bring out the full flavor of the spices. And if you like your store-bought Chai, maybe you'll one day try brewing chai from fresh black tea and spices, too! Namaste ...

Enjoyable Chai ExperienceSep 15, 2006

Tazo's Chai Black Tea is an enjoyable chai experience for the most part. On the paper tea packet, Tazo writes, "a rich blend of teas and spices in the style of the hill dwellers of the Himalayas." On their web site, Tazo describes the flavor profile of Chai as "cinnamon, creamy, sweet spice" and "medium-bodied yet full-flavored, with the spicy kick of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper. Tazo describes the aroma as "sweet, spice". Those are pretty accurate. The black tea "blend" is a little bitter, though, even with minimal brewing. It's a real trick to get it to brew long enough to get to experience the flavor from the spices without having the tea turn bitter.
The ingredients in Chai are: black teas, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, and star anise. It is caffeinated.
Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea.
I would rate this tea, and Tazo in general, as good---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings---but not as good as Numi. I'm soooooo spoiled by Numi teas, which is why Tazo Chai gets only four stars.
