Stash Tea Spice Dragon Red Chai Herbal Tea

Reviewers consistently describe it as bold, spicy, and very flavorful — this isn't a subtle, muted chai. You'll get a pronounced warm spice kick with classic chai notes like cinnamon and ginger. With 9 out of the reviewed mentions specifically calling out the 'very flavorful and delicious' taste, this is a crowd-pleaser. It delivers a warm, spicy sensation that chai lovers enjoy, but it's approachable enough for beginners too.

The biggest difference is the base — this uses rooibos (South African red bush) instead of black tea, which makes it naturally caffeine-free. Most chai teas contain significant caffeine from their black tea base. The 'Dragon' in the name hints at the bold spice profile, and reviewers confirm it delivers. You get the full warming chai spice experience without any caffeine, which is fairly unique in the chai world.

Absolutely — and it's surprisingly good iced. Reviewers mention it as a refreshing iced tea option, which you might not expect from a warm, spicy chai blend. Brew it a bit stronger than usual, let it cool, then pour over ice. The bold spice profile holds up well cold. It's a great caffeine-free alternative to iced coffee or regular iced tea during warmer months.

This chai is ideal for a few specific groups: people who love chai flavor but need to avoid caffeine, anyone looking for a satisfying evening or bedtime tea, and folks who want a versatile tea that works hot or iced. It's beginner-friendly thanks to the simple tea bag format and forgiving brewing — steep it longer and it just gets bolder, not bitter. Chai enthusiasts also appreciate the bold, authentic spice profile, especially those who like to customize with honey, agave, or milk.

You get 18 individually wrapped tea bags per box. The individual packaging is something reviewers appreciate — it keeps each bag fresh and protected, and makes them easy to toss in a bag or desk drawer. At 18 bags, you're looking at about two and a half weeks of daily cups, or longer if you're rotating with other teas.

Reviewers mention honey and agave as popular choices, and both pair beautifully with the warm chai spices. Honey enhances the warming quality, while agave adds clean sweetness without competing with the spice notes. That said, the bold flavor is satisfying enough that many people drink it unsweetened. If you're trying to reduce sugar, this is a good one to try plain first — the natural spice intensity can satisfy a sweet craving on its own.

Traditional chai made from black tea does contain caffeine, but significantly less than coffee. However, this Stash Spice Dragon Red Chai has zero caffeine — it's made with rooibos instead of black tea leaves. So if you're choosing between this chai and coffee for caffeine reasons, this one won't give you any caffeine at all. It's all flavor, no buzz.

Steep the Stash Spice Dragon bag in about 6 oz of boiling water for 5-7 minutes to get a bold, concentrated base. Then add warmed milk to taste — anywhere from a splash to a 50/50 ratio depending on how creamy you like it. The bold spice profile holds up well even with added milk, so you won't lose the chai flavor. Reviewers mention adding honey or agave as a sweetener, which pairs nicely with the warm spices.

Traditional chai involves simmering loose spices and tea leaves in a pot with milk and water — a more hands-on process. The Stash Spice Dragon is a tea bag, so preparation is much simpler: just steep in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, then add milk and sweetener if you want.

For this Stash Red Chai, start by steeping the bag in hot water — it's a tea bag, not loose spices, so water is the way to go. The flavor is already bold and spicy on its own.

Some reviewers drink it black and love it, while others enjoy it with a touch of milk and sweetener for a latte-style drink.

This particular chai skips the caffeine conversation entirely since it's caffeine-free.

Adding milk to the Stash Spice Dragon Red Chai gives you some extra calcium and protein, which is a plus. Since the base is already caffeine-free and herbal, the milk version is still a healthy option. Just be mindful of added sugars if you're sweetening it. Whole milk makes it creamy and satisfying, while oat or almond milk keeps it lighter. Either way, it's a much healthier choice than most flavored lattes from coffee shops.
