Mandarin Masala Chai

Love this taste and ease of the tea. My absolute favorite Chai brand!

I absolutely love it.

This is the mild version compared to the Masala Chai, more pepper. If you don't care for spicy chai this one is for you. I chose this brand because it does not contain any milk or cream and it is unsweetened.

The entire line is perfect for mixing with mushroom powders to create my personal blend of a popular mushroom drink (water).

The flavor was good but it's not totally instant. The herbs leave grounds in the bottom of the cup.

This is the 3rd flavor of Blue Lotus Chai I've tried, and they've all been excellent. 100x better than other powders that have sugar and milk already included. In fact I just tossed a $10 can of that other stuff because it's not even worth drinking compared to this. I've been drinking a cup of Blue Lotus Chai religiously as my wake-up cup for the better part of a year. Let me share some preparation tips. I'm an impatient guy so I try to do things as quickly as possible. So to make my tea, I take a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup and add 4 oz water and 4oz of whole milk. I toss in a regular tea bag (Lipton or whatever) to add some extra tea flavor to the mix, and then microwave it for 2:30. (YMMV depending on microwave wattage) This gets it just hot enough without boiling over and making a mess. I then add some tea masala (Indian tea spice) for extra flavor and finally add my tiny spoon of Blue Lotus and 2 tsp of sugar. Quick and delicious! I used to make chai the traditional way by boiling the milk and water on the stove and adding loose tea to steep as it simmered. Took some time and was messy. This microwave chai is just about as good and way more convenient. If you like chai I don't think you'll be disappointed. Try my suggestion above of adding a tea bag to the mix, because I do find the powder is a bit weak by itself, but the addition of the tea bag and the masala makes everything just right.

For the last two years I have had Rooibos Masala Chai everyday and I have loved it. I recently purchased every one of the Blue Lotus Chai tea blends. Wow- all so different. The Mandarin is wonderful. It’s lighter. I use two heaping scoops in a 16 oz mug, a teaspoon of honey and a splash of my milk of choice. Just beautiful. I am loving the Golden blend also. Both are lighter and lovely. The others are just as good and more hearty in the spice category, which I like when it’s colder out. They warm me up.

I am in LOVE with this product, it makes my day everyday. I quit coffee so i needed a strong flavorful pick me up, this is more than perfect. Most chai mixes have tons of sugar and other crap in them that i cannot consume. I put a little erythritol sweetner and some cream and its AMAZING. So rich and flavorful. Ive been making an iced version. I put two scoops in a mug with half hot water, let it dissolve and cool a bit then add sweetner, then pour over a large glass full of ice, then add the cream and its PERFECT. you have to try it. I love hows its spicy. The mandarin has a more classic chair flavor with a touch of mandarin and the tumeric is outstanding, i use turmeric for inflamation from time to time and. I had begun to not enjoy the flavor so much but the mix of other spices compliment turmeric so well thatI am actually able to add in quite a bit more without it tasting too much like turmeric! I like to add extra cinnamon as well. the other spices are probably helping some health stuff too.
