Laxmi Natural Tea Masala - Traditional Indian Tea Masala - 3.5oz (100g)

Excellent flavor. On the strong side.Not for wussies. Does not dissolve all the way (see photo) as it is a very fine (like flour), non- soluble powder of a " blend of spices " (the spices in question are not listed). It is quite spicy, clearly with black pepper, ginger, green cardamon..., and well balanced. No cinnamon here. A ¼ tsp is plenty for a full cup of flavorful, warming tea.Great value for the price. I am re- ordering.

Absolutely love this masala I wanted to learn to make my own chai tea and this was my very first try it turned out perfect! I didn't go by the 2 heaping spoons full I went by taste and added till I got the taste I was looking for! I mixed with a package of instant Thai tea and omg I have never had a better flavor Thai chi tea!! We deffinantly recommend Laxmi Natural Tea Masala 100% and will deffinantly be buying a lot more! And for the price it's way less costly then the other brands! And just opening the bag the smell was fantastic!

Best masala and I have been searching forever!

I now have three different types of powdered chai for whichever mood of chai strikes me. This was is perfect to add to oolong or black tea. And it works the best when I want to add Tumeric.Edit: After reading the negative reviews, there are a couple of tips for those who are not used to using a powder like this. These are strong spices. A little goes a long way. If it has no taste or only tastes of pepper, you have probably added too much (1/4 tsp to 8-12 oz of tea makes a strong drink for my tastes). So instead of pouring it out, add more liquid and more sweetener and take another sip (and it is possible that it will take far more than you think would be necessary). Remember that just for cinnamon, the usual ratio of spice to sugar is 1 part spice to 3 or 4 parts sweetener to get the full flavor for cinnamon toast.These spices are also fat soluable - which is why having whole milk or a nut milk helps bring out the flavor. I generally bring water and a sliver of coconut fat (or some powdered whole milk) to a boil, add the spices and then turn off the burner or take them off the burner after 20-30 seconds. Then I add the black tea.I will also do this process with just the spices, 1 to 2 tsp of spice to 8 oz of water (that has a sliver of coconut fat or whole milk). Then I can add this liquid to any leftover tea that I have made whenever I want a treat. I pour a portion of it into the tea, heat the mixture up and then add any additional whole or nut milk and about 3 times more sweetener than I would for just a cup of black tea until I have the taste I am looking for. This works wonderfully well for my preferences - experiment to find out what makes your tastebuds happy!

I used to my tea masala from a local Indian grocery store. However with COVID I am limiting myself on the amount of times I physically go into a store so one product shopping is not something I want to do at this time. The value was excellent. The flavor is good except it has a bit more kick/bite to it than I like. I will not buy it just based on my flavor preference; however I believe it is a product worth trying if you like your tea masala to be stronger in black pepper spice.

Very peppery. I thought that since it was the last ingredient listed it would just add a bit of punch. Nope. Mostly pepper came through in my tea. Not what I was looking for. Thankfully it was a small and affordable packet. I think if you like a heavy pepper flavor you’d love this.

First off let me start by saying that after looking at the ingredients list on the back of the package it states the ingredients are "a blend of spices". I was extremely skeptical about what I might be actually consuming but brewed it according to instructions, which aren't even on the packaging, I had to go back to the Amazon listing to see the instructions. Made it as instructed. Took 1 sip, straight down the drain. Disgusting. Literally thought I downed a spice bottle.

A little goes a long way. Very strong and delicious
