My current favorite bag chai. Excellent with either honey or sugar, good mix of spices. Does well with longer (4+min) steeping; I usually set the timer to 4min but sometimes after first pouring water, sometimes let go a bit after timer goes off.

I think I bought this by accident once. EW. Did not like.

I don’t drink it very often, but when I do I really enjoy it. Goes way back to before I really started drinking tea, and I had this at a friend’s place. So there’s a part of my brain that always associates it with Middle Sunday at Steve & Paula’s. Nice mix of flavors. (Often good during a cold.) Occasionally add sugar, but plain is also good.

A reasonable basic tea, good with diner-type breakfasts. I always take it with sugar/half & half. Do not oversteep! (I’m tempted to try two bags as recommended by several reviewers.)

Decent but not awesome. What I drink if the Good Earth Chai isn’t on sale. (Definitely don’t steep as long as that one.) Sugar/half & half.

I really like this one at home, where I can get the water boiling and leave it to steep for a long time. (Sometimes I go do housework and come back as much as 8-10 mins later, almost always good that way.) In those conditions, great spicy flavor. Always have with sugar and half & half.

Unfortunately, it always just falls flat at work – not sure if it’s the not-boiling water or the shorter length of time I usually steep, but it’s just not that good.
