BLUE LOTUS CHAIMasala Chai Collection - Six Varieties - 0.5 oz each (14.17g)

When my usual beloved chai (Yogic Chai) became unavailable (probably due to COVID), I began looking for a replacement--one that contained no additives including fake milk and sweeteners. When I came across the Blue Lotus brand, I tried a container of the traditional. I really love the taste, the fact that it has no crap in it, and, especially, the fact that I don't have to steep and strain it--just stir it into hot water with my own sweetener and cream, in exactly the proportions I prefer.So then of course I had to try all the other flavors, and saw this sample set. I ordered it, thinking it would be one or two cup portions of each flavor. To my happy surprise, it was generous packs that make many cups, so you really can take your time savoring, comparing and deciding what you like. There's enough to share with others to see what appeals to them. I sent a box to my kid in college for her and her roommate, who also loved the Yogic Chai I can't get any more. We are all having fun trying out the flavors.Now my problem is, I can't decide which I like the most. Definitely not the mandarin or mint, but that still leaves the star anise, traditional, rooibos and turmeric. Since I already have a big traditional, I may get the turmeric (which may very well be my #1 favorite), and also the rooibos, which is caffeine free and so a great bedtime brew. I usually don't care for anything rooibos, but this one is terrific.The little scoops in each packet are cute but messy to get out. And then you don't want to put them back because you'll have to dig them out all over again. I think one scoop per package, taped inside the box, would be better than one buried inside each of the six packets. I didn't even realize there were scoops in there until I hit one with my spoon. But when the chai is gone, I'll have six tiny wooden scoops to play with.Great products and very generous samplers!

I love dirty chais. This is the perfect product for this. You are the master of your own destiny and/or flavor destination. You decide how much of you of any you want of flavor, milk, sweetness or what type and so on and so forth. It gives directions to make in the traditional fashion. This product is basically the spices and the tea in an easy powdered form. I even add it to baked goods for an interesting flavor. I love the variety, giving a chance to sample all the flavors pick my favorites. BTW all of them have been Delicious in their own way. If you're looking for easy chai but still enjoy being able to customize this is the product.

OK, so its always going to be more expensive to get things in little variety packs, but this is a great way to explore the different flavors and not be committed to a larger can. So for that reason alone, it is a GOOD Value! Each package has plenty of product so you can repeat the process and decide which strength is good for you. Would recommend this to anyone exploring the tastes of different chais! Very little residue in the cup,(which I think is VERY important!), dissolves immediately, and is Excellent Quality! Appropriate for really picky chai lovers!

This is a good mix. Many people have criticized it as being too spicy. It is very spicy. I like my chai spicy so this works out for me.I appreciate being able to taste all the flavors via this assortment. I found Mandarin and Mint to be the least impressive with very subtle variations of flavor.The aroma of all of the mixes in general is excellent. I like to make a drink with one part very hot water, a full teaspoon of the powder mix, a teaspoon of honey, and one part soy milk. I appreciate that they have no sweeteners or creamers in the mix so that we can make it the way we want. I only tried it cold once because the weather is so cold, but it was really good with ice cold soy milk. (I dissolved it in about a quarter cup of hot water first.)The spiciness definitely is excellent for winter and it will warm you up! My favorite flavors of the mix are Star Anise and Golden. I typically I’m not a fan of turmeric mixes because unfortunately most turmeric products just taste like dirt to me… But this one is fragrant and delicious. I think they got the balance just right.Each little packet says 17 servings. Like most people have commented, the bamboo spoon is adorable but useless and I don’t think anyone will get 17 servings out of each packet but… I do think you could get about 10 servings out of each packet which still makes this a decently affordable set. This is definitely an excellent drink for someone who likes spicy chai and something good to try out during the winter. I will go ahead and buy a big bag of the Golden or Star Anise flavor.

This is the best chai. Authentic, no sugar, takes very little and the sample set is well worth the price. It only takes two little tiny spoonfuls then, when mixed with Silk creamer, it was wonderful. I have also used milk but I liked the creamer best. Is totally delicious and authentic.

This Blue Lotus Chai variety pack is terrific! I enjoyed sampling all the flavors and finding my favorites (and mixing flavors together to my own taste). And it's cheaper and gives me more control over taste than the pre-mixed chai blends at my local stores. This stuff really does dissolve very well in hot water, leaving very little crud in the bottom of my cup. But follow the directions and add the milk last; the powder will clump up if you add the milk first. If you find a favorite flavor then buy the 3 oz. tin; it's cheaper and easier to scoop from than these little pouches.

Every one of the has a subtle flavor added, so none of them are my favorite. They all are! I don't even choose one, I just pick out of the box and drink what a reach. They are nicely spiced and fresh and easy to use, and I recommend this variety pack.
