Chai/Chai Tea Blend

This is the greatest tea blend that I have ever had. The first time I tried it was at the store in Chicago and I have been hooked ever since. It goes great in the morning or in the afternoon. I like to drink it while working in my office. The flavor is unique and very soothing. I like to sweeten it a little with the german rock sugar, but it is great without it.

I've just recently gotten into the whole loose leaf tea thing, and this was my first store purchase. Once I got over the "sticker shock" (which you will, too, once you taste the difference), this has been a tea that I continue to purchase. My husband--a charter member of a major coffee store chain's rewards program--has even switched to it for his morning commute. Love it!

I work overnight. This is the tea I put on in the morning if I had a particularly rough shift. It's warm and spicy and soothing. I love it.

Had my first taste of the chai/chai tea blend over the holidays at a Teavana shop. Fell in love with the first sip. Great smooth and soothing spicy chai taste and aroma.

Since I have bought my Cusinart Electric Kettle the flavor of this tea is the same as the sample at the store. Before this I was not able to get the great tatse, flavor, and tempature correct.
That is great for me b/c I bought 10 packets on the internet. I will continue to buy more later.

White Chai and Samurai Chai are both excellent teas, but this combination nails it. It is the perfect combination of the two, not letting the strength of the Samurai overwhelm the sweetness of the White.

I use this product very frequently

I tried this in the Canton Teavana when I was visiting relatives and loved it. I had already bought my months worth of tea so I didn't get it. Big mistake. I finally just ordered it online when I got home. I love it. I just wish they had a store in Dayton.

I make two large cups of this tea to take to work and it is much better than coffee/tea selections in the coffee machines at work.

First of all, I do not consider myself a tea drinker, at least not of hot tea. I am from the south and drink iced black tea (sweetened) on occasion, but have never found a hot tea that interested me. I went to Teavana with a friend a few weeks ago and didn't bother to try any of the teas since I hadn't had any luck with tea in the past. I ended up trying this blend on our way out on a whim. I was immediately hooked! It's spicy and warm, just perfect for fall (though I plan to drink it all year round). I would definitely recommend this for someone who is hesitant to try hot tea/ healthy tea. I did not purchase the tea that day (I am the opposite of an impulsive shopper), and completely regretted it. When I was back in town a few weeks later (my town does not have a store) I headed straight to Teavana to pick up this blend! Unfortunately, I was not informed that the in store sample included the German Rock Sugar, so I had to make another trip when I discovered that the taste at home didn't match the in store sample. After grabbing THREE pounds of the sugar I experimented, failed miserably a few times, then found the right prep/ proportions to make the tea taste the same as it does in the store. I am posting it below as I couldn't find anyone who had done so before.

Tea amount: 3 teaspoons
Tea temp: 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Steep time: 8 minutes
Sugar: 2 tablespoons of Teavana's German Rock Sugar (table sugar/ honey won't taste right, trust me)

This will make a great, sweet cup of tea! I realize the steep time is far longer than is recommended, but it will be VERY weak if you steep for only two minutes. Same issue with the temp, you'll get a fuller taste at 200 degrees. I realize the sugar content is high, but it's definitely worth it to add lots of rock sugar to get the right taste. I drink this in lieu of eating dessert. I have been loving this tea in the morning, evening, and as an afternoon pick-me-up at work.

Hope this helps anyone interested in this blend!
