QuikTea Saffron Masala Chai Tea Latte

It's about as simple as it gets—just add hot water and stir. No brewing, steeping, or straining required. Multiple reviewers mention this is their go-to for quick chai without any fuss. That said, getting the water amount right matters; too much water and it tastes diluted, so start with the recommended amount and adjust from there.

Many reviewers who are familiar with traditional Indian chai say yes—it has that authentic masala chai character with prominent cardamom and saffron notes. The spice profile is definitely there. However, some note the tea flavor itself is on the weaker side, with the milk powder being more dominant. If you're looking for a strong black tea base, you might find it a bit light in that department.

It depends on your taste. The cardamom is definitely a star player here—several reviewers specifically praise the 'strong cardamom flavor.' If you love cardamom, you'll probably be thrilled. But a couple of reviewers did mention it can be a bit much for their liking. Since it's unsweetened, you can balance it out with sweetener or milk to your preference.

It works both ways! A few reviewers mention they enjoy it iced, especially in warmer weather. The instant powder dissolves well, so you can mix it with hot water first to dissolve completely, then pour over ice, or experiment with cold water and a good stir or shake.

It's unsweetened, which many reviewers appreciate because it lets you control the sweetness level. You can add sugar, honey, maple syrup, or whatever sweetener you prefer. Some people enjoy it as-is for a less sweet chai experience, while others customize it to their taste.

Some reviewers have reported receiving expired products, empty boxes, or punctured packets, so it's worth checking the expiration date when your order arrives. A couple of long-time buyers also mentioned the quality seems to have decreased while the price went up. If you do receive a defective product, definitely reach out to the seller for a replacement.
