I consider myself a tea expert, as I have worked in a similar tea cafe for years and dabble in herbalism as well. I prefer medicinal teas and blends that offer cleansing benefits. I visited Teavana mostly to browse, at first I didn't find anything too extraordinary. By suggestion, I was shown this tea and instantly shrieked, "That one!" It smells like christmas, you could probably clear out your sinus cavity just from the whiff of it! I tried it as soon as I got home and instantly felt energized(which is saying a lot, as I have been immobile for over 6 months, diabetic and also a singer with a sore throat!) The combination of pepper/cloves/cinnamon/ginger is good for circulation, and the white tea gives it a really nice, delicate balance. I can't tolerate drinking chai on a regular basis, as the black tea is super dehydrating. Overall, this is a great tea that I am super impressed by. If you are looking for a tea you can drink anytime, or a cleansing tonic to help battle colds/improve circulation, this is definitely it!

This chai has a nice kick to it, but the cinnamon flavor overpowers everything else. I like chais where you can taste the individual spices, and although cardamom and clove are included in the ingredients I can't taste them at all (and cardamom is one of my favorite flavors so that disappointed me) OR taste the tea itself. The cinnamon also has a slightly fake aroma - some people have mentioned that the tea smells like red-hot candies, and to me that's an artificial scent. Even adding milk doesn't help. It just tastes like fake-cinnamon-flavored milk.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
I usually associate Chai with energizing beverages, but I enjoy White Ayurvedic Chai in the evenings and before bed. This tea has chai spices of cinnamon, ginger, peppers and cloves, but the additional tropical notes of bright pineapple, and creamy coconut make it outstanding. This tea is refreshing, yet calming and soothing, and it smells beautiful.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
When it's blended with the Samurai Chai Mate the pineapple and papaya flavors are great, but there are days when I just want an intense chai experience. My favorite chai blend now is the White chai and the Maharaja chai oolong, which is full of dry, dark spices. The white chai is my go-to chai whenever I'm in a chai-blending mood!

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
This was AWESOME! This has a strong smell out of the bag that made me a bit nerveous at first but brews into a calming, spicy and naturally sweet tea. Not overly fruity and the spice seems just right. No need for sugar with this one. Just brew and enjoy. Has a very dry finish that was a bit much for me but over all a VERY good tea.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
I was introduced to tea by my daughter and son-in-law. They love this tea and have stores in their malls. I went for a visit and went to the store and they had the SAMAURI CHAI MATE & WHITE AYURVEDIC CHAI TEA MIXED AND SERVING SAMPLES. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS TEA RIGHT THEN AND NOW HAVE BOUGHT SO MANY DIFFERENT BLENDS. Tea is so healthy for you. At least you have a web site for people who live way out in the country. Thank-you.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
We tasted this in the store. I wasn't a tea fan in general before but my husband is. I adore chai though so this was our compromise. I like that it has low caffeine so i can enjoy it in the evenings. We both love the flavor although it is a bit more mild then traditional chai. I really looking forward to blending it with some other flavors of chai.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
I got a huge tin of this tea (mixed with Samurai Mate) for my birthday and I'm going to need a refill really soon. Whenever I have friends over or feel like relaxing with a hot drink on a chilly day, I turn to this tea because it's the best. I love mixing it with almond milk and adding cinnamon so that it's like a chai latte. The only downfall is that you have to use a lot to get the rich flavor that I like. But that's okay because it is relatively cheap. I definitely recommend this for anyone. Even my friends who don't regularly drink tea love it.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
I drink tea throughout the day with Thermax Thermos that I got from Teavana. The experience of this tea starts when I unscrew the top. The aroma hits other senses immediately after the smell. It's almost a feeling other than smell. Drinking it is like drinking a piece of candy. It is sweet, with cinnamon, pepper, citrus, and other flavors that I try to find on my own. It is a white tea that is great in the morning. It is a fun flavorfull tea.

Comments about Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea<br />:
I love this tea! I first tried it blended with the Samurai Chai Mate at our local Teavana store and loved that blend. The salesman then told me that while they sold the blend, he liked to buy the two teas separately and blend them according to the time of day himself (more mate in the morning, or whenever he needed a boost, and more, or all, white chai in the evening). I decided to do that. Now, the White Ayurvedic Chai has become a staple on chilly fall evenings for me... I adore it alone! Some have complained that the cinnamon is too much, but I love it that way! Besides, the tea still has a light taste to it because it's a chai made with white tea rather than traditional black. Even my husband likes it!
