Tazo Organic Chai Black Tea (6-Pack, 120 Bags)

This is significantly spicier and more authentic than most commercial chai lattes. Reviewers consistently praise the 'strong, authentic chai spice flavor' with a noticeable 'kick' and peppery warmth. Unlike sweetened café versions, this has no added sweetness—just bold black tea and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. It's what enthusiasts call 'real chai' rather than a sugary chai-flavored drink.

This is a black tea with moderate to high caffeine content, so it's best enjoyed in the morning or early afternoon. Several reviewers specifically mention avoiding it later in the day because the caffeine kept them awake. If you're sensitive to caffeine or want an evening chai, you'll want to look for a rooibos or herbal chai instead.

Absolutely—this chai is designed to shine with milk. Reviewers report excellent results with dairy milk, oat milk, almond milk, and cream. The bold spice profile holds up beautifully when you add milk, creating that classic creamy chai latte experience. Many people brew it strong and then add their preferred milk for a homemade chai latte that rivals coffee shop versions.

It's actually great for beginners because the tea bag format makes it super convenient and consistent. You get authentic chai flavor without needing to measure loose spices or brew complicated recipes. That said, if you're used to very mild teas or sweet chai concentrates, this will taste bolder and spicier. Start with less steep time (3-4 minutes) and add milk and sweetener to taste—you can always make it stronger once you know what you like.

Most reviewers report receiving fresh, aromatic tea bags with strong fragrance right out of the box. The organic spices come through clearly when the product is fresh. However, like all teas, freshness matters—buy from sellers with good turnover and store the boxes in a cool, dry place. If you're buying the 6-pack, you're getting 120 tea bags total, so consider how quickly you'll use them to maintain that fresh, bold flavor.

No, and this is important. Some reviewers noted that the newer 'Regenerative Organic' formulation tastes different—described as blander and disappointing compared to the original organic version. If you loved the classic Tazo Organic Chai, make sure you're getting the right version. Check the packaging details carefully, as the flavor profile may vary between formulations.
