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

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.

The BEST masala - made a giant vat of chai and it was so good!

Good quality tea masala

Use this, added to cardamom and cinnamon, as base for good chai tea. Too peppery (from my perspective only) to use this masala tea spice alone but is great when other spices added.

This is really one of the best Masala tea I have had. I dont have to add more ginger like I did with others. It smells really great and tastes wonderful.

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.

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!

This is one of the best tea masala I have tried. I really like this one little bit more spicy but it tastes great if you just use pinch of it.
