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

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 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.

I tried Everest tea masala before, because I wanted to make my own chai. It was alright, but nothing like this stuff. It has a heaty peppery spice sort of like it's got some allspice in it, and lots of ginger, and other (probably undetectable) spices. Great stuff if you want to make your own chai.

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.

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.

I bought tea masla, for to use for when i make chia, i was Very disappointed, nothing like chai masla, However, some are disappointed with the flavor and have mixed opinions on value for money. I can only taste papery flavor, don't buy it wast of money.

UPDATE - I still LOVE this masala blend. It’s the closest I’ve found to what my relatives bring back from India. It’s very spicy - LOTS of pepper, just like what is common in my relatives’ native region. We do not use water when making chai. We start with a pot of milk and a heaping spoon or two of masala and let it heat over a low flame and stir regularly to keep it from burning to the bottom of the pot. If you like, you can add a dash of cardamom or turmeric and let it start to steam. When the milk is nice and hot, we add 2-3 heaping spoons of assam tea and let it steep for 3-4 minutes then add 3-4 heaping spoons of sugar, stir, then strain into cups. Assam is a rather strong tea, so this strong masala pairs very nicely with it. The milk (I recommend whole milk) helps tone everything down and provides a nice base for this spicy, savory chai.FROM 4 YEARS AGO: I've been very spoiled because my relatives from India bring chai masala back with them when they visit and keep me stocked up with a delicious blend they get from a spice shop in India. I've tried MANY brands of masala from our local Indian grocers and haven't found ANYTHING close... until I got this! It's SO good! It's the perfect amount of spicy and savory.

Much more economical to buy premade vs. Making myself
