This is my favorite tea bar none. I am a fall flavors fanatic and will eat, drink, or otherwise consume anything with the spicy goodness of this tea. It is strong, but oh-so good, and reminds me of the good times (i.e. the holidays). It is on the expensive side, but worth every penny to me.
As another reviewer has shown me, I now give my ratings of other teas to show readers of this review what my tastes are.

I cannot recommend this one to anyone. Writing this review, I realize I am a misnomer and outlier – most people have heaped praise upon this tea. I however was bitterly surprised by the disgusting peppercorn undertones which overwhelmed the clove and other spices (I made 16oz. and put in 2 tsp of German rock sugar). The tea smells aromatic and quite pleasant before brewing, but take in the rising steam after steeping and you will likely be repulsed.
Then again maybe this is a tea that should not be sweetened... even so this is really disappointing considering how much I invested in tea equipment from this place... now I will have to be very thorough in investigating the ingredients of every tea before I buy.

My sister got this tea for me for a gift one year a while back and I ran out of it really fast-it was so delicious! I've been meaning to get it again because this is probably one of my favorite teas at teavana <3

I use this tea more than any of my other ones. It might be a little strong for others, but I find it beyond delicious. In order to dilute it a bit, a greatly suggest mixing it with White Ayurvedic tea. The two compliment each other perfectly, and just make a delicious tea. If you do not like other chai teas, however, you probably won't like this one. If you like other ones, this one will be perfect for you.

If you want a robust, full-bodied Chai, this is for you.
I prefer my chai teas with a "kick". I don't like them mildly flavored. The best chai I ever had was at an Indian booth at a local ethnic festival. The way it warmed me up from the inside out was such a unique and invigorating feeling. I have been trying to capture it ever since, and I am so glad I found this particular blend which brings back that wonderful memory.
Many people will find this too strong, my advice is to use less tea and brew for a shorter length of time. I also drink this tea with milk, and I find it would be a little too much no to add it.

I turned to Maharaja looking for a new chai after being disappointed with the Skinny Chai Pu-Ehr. This one did not disappoint at all! It's hard to say exactly what I love about it, but this is the best chai I've tasted yet.

I have been let down by other Teavana chai teas, but this one is surprisingly great! It smells strong and has a flavor to match! I brewed it with water and it was great, I can imagine using milk or cream it would be quite lovely!

This is the best chai ever. Strong but smooth. There is a subtle spiciness to it but the word that comes to mind is earthy. My new go to for study time.

The Tea is good but it steeps stronger than it smells. For those that describe this as an "Atomic Fireball Tea" I feel they are dead on in my book. It is not bad but if you are looking for an normal everyday Chai this is not it, be ready for something different.

I like it, but it is a little too strong without milk. With milk, like they drink it in India, is beautiful.
