Vayu Tea & Blends - Indian Masala Chai | 100% Assam| Tea with Cinnamon, Cardamon & Ginger | Loose Leaf Pouch of 180 grams

I have always looked for an authentic masala chai in London and could not find anything close until I found Vayu Masala chai. I was recommended to try this by many of my friends and it surely has been totally worth it. The quality is top notch and premium. The aroma of cardamom and ginger is brilliant. I am enjoying a perfect cuppa of brewed masala chai which is really rejuvenating. Thanks Vayu for this amazing Masala chai !

A brew-tiful cup of tea!As a masala chai addict I can confidently say this tea is amazing! The spice blend is spot on—not too overwhelming but definitely has the flavour I expect from a good chai. I’ve been experimenting with different brands, and this one really impressed me. It’s super easy to make, and it pairs so well with a little milk and sugar. Highly recommend!

My first time trying this tea and wow, what I blown away. Let’s start with the packaging - it’s elegant, beautifully designed and well thought through (I love the resealability - function and finesse!)The first thing that hit me when I opened the back was the smell of the tea and spices. Simply wonderful.And did the masala chai deliver. It blends delicious tea with ginger, cinnamon and cardamom beautifully - it took me back to a visit to a tea plantation in India I made a decade ago. On a cold, wintery London day, it was just what I needed with a plate of hot Indian snacks. I’m usually a coffee drinker, but this tea may just have converted me. Try it, you’ll like it!

It is the first ingredient after the Assam tea but the cardamom is too overpowering for my liking. I can't really taste the cinnamon or ginger. However tea quality is good.

The media could not be loaded. I am an Asian and we do love our teas, especially loose tea. This tea is the best masala chai I have ever had available in the market. It’s got the perfect blend of spiced and at just the right balance. The dip bags in this range are great too for those quick cuppas.I keep buying it, and would like to try their other flavours.

This is by far the worst Masala Chai I have tried, even compared to supermarket own brand teabags. The Assam is mainly just dust, which results in an unbelievably weak brew. Because it is a very cheap dusty concoction some of the dust slips through the tea strainer. I bought this based on the positive reviews - perhaps I was unlucky and got a bad batch, but in my case this is for the bin.

I was wary about how confetti'd the leaves were after having a bad experience with a supermarket blend that would become nuclear after 30s of steeping but these fears were unfounded.Very high efficacy, can get 3 pints of tea from 2 tsps, perfect for my oversized mugs.Although I don't have the cilantro/coriander gene, I apparently have a cardamon gene and thus it tastes a bit soapy.I would dock a point for this but I don't want to, lol.It doesn't offend me enough to stop me from drinking it since it doesn't change the texture and the tea is otherwise perfect. highly recommend.

The mix is high quality. The assam seems particularly mature with fairly smoky overtones. For my tastes there is not enough kick, I think the ginger ratio is a little weak. It brews very dark in very little time and I have found that a second flush actually produces a more developed flavour. A little goes a long way. I add a little pepper to 'pep' it up. It's not the best chai I've had but there's nothing to complain about.At £6 for 180g this is fairly competitively priced for the chai mixes available on amazon.
