Best Chai Tea Recipe

Julie R. Thomson

There were a lot of good ones out there, but also some terrible choices. Here's what we found - in order from worst to best. (For the record, this taste test is in no way sponsored or influenced by the brands included.)

• Bigelow
• This is an atrocity. It tastes like a cup of artificial flavoring.
• Equal Exchange
• Where's the spice? Way, way, way mild.
• Stash
• Middle of the road chai. Forgettable but totally passable in a pinch.
• Celestial Teahouse
• They must not like bold chai in the mountains.
• Tea Pigs
• We forgive Teapigs for calling it "chai tea" (hello, redundant), because their blend is so delightfully fragrant.
• Twinings
• Ultra spice ain't a lie. This tea is bold, in the boldest of ways, with a strong taste of cinnamon. Awesome choice if that's what you look for in a chai.
• Yogi
• True to its description, this tea is naturally sweeter than most (which means you can add less sugar). Mildly spicy, but pleasantly so. You can pick out the cardamom flavor.
• Nice balanced flavor. Not too strongly spiced - perfect for those who like milder chais.
• Organic India
