No chai is as good as the liquid Chai from Republic of Tea. I think I've been using it in my latte for about 8-10 years. It's amaxing
Smells wonderland and taste amazing too! For myself it wasn't super spicy and also not overly sweet. Definitely will order again.
The tea is super delicious! I also want to note that when my order first arrived the concentrate had a leak at the bottom of the jug, with some partially gone from the jug. I contacted customer service and they were amazing told them what happened and they sent me a new jug that same day. So not only is the tae amazing, but so is the customer service!
Love the chai concentrate but the pump leaks and makes the bottle too tall to stand in the fridge.
This is the best tasting tea. Do yourself a favor and purchase it you will not regret it.
I started getting chai lattes from Panera when I was in high school and I really love the taste however, something has changed where Panera either can’t get the ratios right or they are no longer using this brand, but I was having a hard time trying to find the same taste. So after scouring the Internet, I found a Reddit post that said that this is what Panera used and I am so excited that I can make it at home for a fraction of the cost. I will say that the ratio recipe that they have on their label is a bit weak. I actually have to use 3 ounces to 8 ounces of milk to get that sweet and spicy balance.
The chai drinkers in the house love this.
Recently switched to this for our restaurant, and receiving rave reviews!
This is the Chai mix that Panera used until they changed to something else that was not good. It is well worth buying this jug as it lasts a long time and it is much cheaper than buying a chai anywhere else. It is also the best chai out there in my opinion (I have tried them all).
My chai tea concentrate is always the best ever, however the day I received my order they send an email about a free tin of tea. This is the second time that had happened.
Love this easy, ready to use matcha concentrate! Not too grassy, just sweet enough, and perfect for our spring specials!
This is too tall and can't be used. I wish I could return it. It is too tall to fit inside a refrigerator. Love the idea of a pump if they could make it shorter.
This is a staple with our family! Especially around the cooler seasons of fall/winter. Honestly we enjoy a warm cup of cha tea latte throughout the year giving us that nostalgic vibe.
Originally I had bought lots of the smaller glass bottles, and then realized I was going through them so fast - it made sense to buy the jug of concentrate. I'm still considering getting the pump.
Bloody best chai tea ever!
If you prefer Panera's chai tea latte over other commercial offerings, this is the concentrate for you. At a 4:1 ratio it becomes your preferred drink quickly made at home at a reduced price.
Tastes nothing like the same tea bag's. Too sweet for me. It has 70 calories per serving mostly sugar. Customer service was great. They provided the nutritional info and offered prompt refund.
I really like cold chai with milk. Ice, milk, and concentrate. It tastes fantastic (makes a great milkshake as well).
Love the flavour and it saves me a lot of time and money from spending it at a cafe.
It took several days for delivery and gone bad. I started having diarrhea after drinking the tea. The tablespoon chai tea is better.
I highly recommend this brand of concentrate, everything else is super watered down.
I split the jug between three people. I saved so much money purchasing this because as I usually get a chai tea latte from Panera. I no longer have to worry about getting an inconsistent weak chai tea latte from Panera bc i can make it myself. What a cozy drink for every season!!
Love chai
I have been a fan of this concentrate for many years now. If you like Panera Breads chai tea, this is what they use! I have to keep it on hand for not only me but my grandkids. It is a request when they come over to have some of "Nanas favorite".
Absolutely love this chai tea concentrate. It has a fantastic taste and is so much better than the competition
Oh my this was awful. Bad batch? I don't know but I threw it down the drain after 2 attempts.
This is definitely the best tasting chai tea latte mix!!
I have a Chai latte every morning and love the convenience of this concentrate with some milk! Please don't ever discontinue this item.
This chai syrup has a great flavor and make wonderful chai lattes.
I love the convenience of pouring in a container and adding the water. The resulting beverage has a wonderful pomegranate taste mixed with green tea.
This is the best Chai there is. Only downfall is the price (although you can save on shipping if you sign up for autoship, and earn points for discounts), and I wish they could find a better design for the bottle. Seal is hard to remove and if you don't get every little piece of it off, the bottle can leak when shaken.
Absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Exactly what they sell at Panera, and we all know Panera has the BEST chai out there. Unbeatable flavor experience. I mix with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's delicious.
I love the flavor, but it's the most expensive per serving of others we have tried. It takes more than the suggested amount to get enough chai flavor as well.
I love this company and all of their items. If this came unsweetened, this would be amazing. I put it in a frother with milk and it rocks!
Love that I can make my very own chai tea at any time along with saving lots of money by making it myself at home.
It is warm and loving and calming! Gotta try!
It is the exact flavor of cough syrup unfortunately. I tried putting it in different things to disguise it such as lemonade and grape Kool-Aid. It overpowers everything. It's not its fault that it tastes like NyQuil but why sell NyQuil flavored concentrate 😠Also the pump is super-goosey. One bump and that stuff is everywhere, staining & sticky. I would prefer to try something different and actually THOUGHT I was getting the papaya passion which they apparently only sell to Panera in the concentrate form. I would return it but don't feel like the hassle.
We have a horrible chai habit at our house. We can easily go through two or three boxes of other brands of chai in a week just between the three of us. We were excited about this chai because it said it was a 1:7 ratio. 1oz. Concentrate to 7oz milk. However this ratio makes a very weak chai. It's closer to 2.5 oz to 5oz of milk. It is a good chai sweeter than most chai, less of a pepper taste. Don't bother buying the pump. Even if you have the room in your fridge(we were able to move the shelves in our door to make it fit) the pump leaks a lot and leaves a sticky mess all over. So while the chai is ok its not worth the price tag.
If you like Panera Bread chai; then this is the tea for you. Wonderful chai!
Love this chai tea concentrate!! I make it using creamy oat milk and the level and blend of spices are just right for me!!
I looove this concentrate! Don't ever change??
Delicious! It tastes just like Panera chai tea. And making it with milk provides us with a good source of calcium. I agree with Jim from PA, though. Don't bother with the pump. It doesn't fit in the refrigerator.
I was on a hunt for some good chai and found it here. I placed an order, which unfortunately got lost in the mail. I reached out to customer service and they were extremely quick and helpful. They sent me a new one which came within two days. I was not only pleased with the chai and the way it tastes ( I make mine with creamy oat milk ) but I was also very pleased with how kind and helpful they were in replacing my order. I will definitely be ordering from here again, and I recommend it to everyone who loves a good cup of tea!
The Republic of Tea concentrated tea is excellent, delicious ??????
Taste exactly like the Panera bread Chai tea. It is really good and family loves. Very pricey but I love it. I was glad I was able to buy it
Republic of Tea makes my absolute favorite iced Chai, it's great being able to mix it myself to make it extra strong.
This is my favorite Chai mix hot or iced. I don't just drink it though, I use it when making French toast and also add a little to rice pudding. The only reason I deducted a star is because I'm still very disappointed that the smaller bottles were discontinued. So far I haven't had it go off, even after the expiration date, but that wasn't a concern at all with the smaller bottle. Also, it doesn't qualify for free shipping anymore which is annoying.
The flavor is so strong and complex and the perfect degree of sweetness. It's exactly what I was hoping for. I got this to make iced dirty chai lattes at home, and it comes through very well even with the espresso and with only 3-4 pumps of the concentrate. Not having to use a ton of it makes it last longer than I was expecting. I made the mistake of trying a concentrate from another brand that was much cheaper, and you definitely get what you pay for. It was so bland and weak compared to this. I will definitely be sticking with Republic of Tea for my chai!
So elated that Panera gave there secret ingredient. So I only have to purchase through republic of tea. Thank you for such a wonderful chai.
The chai itself is very good! The bottle, or more specifically the pump, is very tall. I bought this for work and our refrigerator has set shelves in the door so the bottle always hits the top of the fridge when the door closes and makes a mess. I'm constantly cleaning!
On a visit to Starbucks a few months ago, a friend of mine suggested getting an Iced Chai Tea Latte. After purchasing one five times a week for over a month and a half, I realized I was addicted. I also realized that I was paying over $100 a month for something I may be able to make myself at home. After trying recipes online and scouring through Amazon reviews of different Chai concentrates, I stumbled upon the Republic of Tea website. I am not saying that this is exactly the same as Starbucks or Panera's delicious drink, but it is very close. It also saves me the inconvenience of stopping on my way to work every morning, not to mention the money that I have been paying. Overall I am extremely happy with this product and highly recommend it.
Great value and the perfect chai flavor
This is my favorite chai. I am so happy I found this product. The shipping is fast and I even like the packaging of the box its delivered in!
I especially love a hot chai when the weather cools. Guess I might give the odd review but I don't usually add any milk or milk substitute. I love the black tea and chai spices to shine and these do perfectly in my cuppa!! Will be ordering again.
I got a latte from panera bread it was so good I searched and found this is what they use It is the same tea they use Im in love with this it been 2months Im about to order another one
love it I heard this is what panera bread use and it is true love lov love it
I absolutely love this chai, nothing else compares. I really wish you would sell it in the smaller bottles again, the gallon takes up too much space and doesn't fit into my fridge with the pump on.
I've been purchasing the re-mixed Chai on and off for two years since I discovered Panera uses Republic of Tea brand. Love the spices and the convenience of pre-mixed, but wish you would reduce the sugar content by half. The site states 40 Calories presumably for 8 ounces, but the label does not state any nutrition facts on the sugar content. I have read other reviews regarding the chai being too sweet. If if you did 1/3 less sugar it would be better--the spices can shine through.
I loved the idea of this concentrate. I buy powdered green tea, sweetened and unsweetened. I mix an then run it through the blender with soy milk. I feel like blending in the blender helps it settle less. I thought right on, I don't have to do that I can just shake up my soymilk with the concentrate. Not so much. Part of what I like about matcha is the earthy taste and the grassy green tea. I get the grassy green tea, way to much sweetness, no earthiness to balance that out. I'll give this to a friend you likes his green tea lattes sweeter than I do.
This tea is used at alocation where my son works. I now buy this for my home use and it is really good. The pepper is not too strong, as with some brands. I mix mine with Almond Milk for a Chai Latte and add stevia/brown sugar mix for sweetness. It is good but you have to keep it in the fridge and it is a space waster. According to the people in the house who don't drink tea!
I really love macha...this product is excellent, but just a bit too sweet for my taste. I will probably buy it again, it is convenient to use.
I have a recipe to make Chai from scratch. But this one is so much better. I make up a small batch the night before with whole milk. It seems to meld together making it creamier when I do drink. I shared with a friend and she couldn't get over that creamy texture and the great flavor. Thank you, so good, I just purchased 3 more so I won't run out. I'm going through it fast enough that I don't need to freeze any like others suggested.
Love this concentrate blend. Since I've been drinking this tea blend I have noticed my system (blood pressure, energy, etc.) has improved.
I dearly love this product!! If you have any kind of nausea try this with 2% milk over ice it will settle your stomach down right away ??
I love Chai Tea and have no problem using this size too quickly. I use cashew milk (25 calories) to cut the sugar and serve over ice. There is NO issue with it going 'bad' around my house.
I love that this concentrate is organic! It says that it is lightly sweetened, but the drinks I made using this product were way, way too sweet for my taste. I would prefer to buy an unsweetened version of this concentrate. That would leave one the option of sweetening drinks to taste, or leaving them unsweetened.
This is our absolute favorite Chai hands down. Our entire family drinks it and it save us a lot of money preparing it at home. If you feel you won't drink it before the expiration date, freeze it in small disposable cups. Once frozen, take out of cups and put in a resealable bag. I've had mine past the exp. and it's fine.
I love this product! We live in Virginia, where sweet iced tea is the traditional summer drink. I mix 1/4 cup of the chai tea concentrate in with a gallon of my traditional sweet tea recipe and everyone who drinks it says it's the best iced tea they've ever had - and they want the secret ingredient. I also use it to make chai tea coconut milk lattes!!
I love the subtle variance in flavor this has over the other chai concentrates. Maybe it's the honey or cardamom. It's the one that Panera uses. I use this almost 1/2 syrup & 1/2 milk with a little water, so it goes quickly with me. Wish I could just get the recipe, lol
I love this tea but it expires before I get even close to using the whole jar. I won't be buying it again until there is a smaller size. Too much wasted money and product.
Placing my second order. Three things I love to drink; Matcha tea, High Alkaline water and organic unsweetened juice. I have been making Matcha tea from powder and many times trying to rush out the door in the morning to work and had to skip my tea. Not anymore. The night before I fill 2 glass bottles with Alkaline water, Matcha concentrate and organic pure pomegranate, cherry or cranberry juices and put in the frig. Now it is grab and go and it taste great.
I disagree w/ a smaller size since I bought my 1st 64 oz bottle thought for sure I wouldn't use it up before shelf date. Well just put my 2nd order in for 2-64 oz bottles I save so much by not buying drinks at Panera but still eat there!!!
The only reason I haven't bought this product is the size!! I would never be able to use 64 oz of this stuff, but it's so good!!
I love this and can't keep it enough of it stocked. If the Green Chai tea is as good as the black I would love to see it in a concentrate.
I really enjoy this tea hot or cold, it's not too sweet. I mix it by the half gallon and keep it in the refrigerator.
I've tried many chai teas, and this is absolutely my favorite. Would love to see this without the sugar -- I'd rather sweeten it myself.
First bought this when you had the 12 oz sizes in regular and decaf ordered both. This is absolutely the best chai around. I told a Starbucks employee that if they wanted to know what a superb chai taste like they needed to try this from Panera ( i was getting a gingerbread latte )would never get chai any where else but Panera or prepare mine at home which I am about to do. Please bring 12oz reg & decaf back. Please Please Please!
This Chai tea is absolutely, by far the most delectable tea I ever tasted!!! Please consider producing a smaller, more manageable size than just the large 64oz Republic Chai Concentrate.
...that this has not yet been rated. Ordering was very simple on Sat, shipped on Mon, arr on Wed. Got it with free shipping. I searched the web, but this product was only available here-biggest selling point-unlike the other concentrates here, this is the only that is organic. I opened it immediately and licked the foil used to seal it. Delicious! Rich matcha taste which be diluted as it states on the label without losing it or tasting watered down. I was concerned since the label calls for milk or milk type product, but water and ice work just fine. It was very tasty and refreshing. This will make 64x8oz servings at a ratio of 1oz of concentrate to 7 of water/milk. I usually use almond or rice milk and will have to pick some up tomorrow. Plan on making smoothies with this. It comes to abt 72 cents per 8oz serving after mixing it with water. If you mix is with anything else, you would have to add that cost. Of course that is abt 1/3 of what you would pay in a tea/coffee shop and then it would no
I put a few pump spritzes in my cycling water bottle before a ride. Because it tastes great I find I hydrate much more frequently. The calories help too!
I used to work for a coffee shop on campus when I was in college(since then it's been closed due to building renovations) and they sold this, mostly as an iced drink. I loved it! It's super refreshing and doesn't have a strong "tea" taste to the flavor so is a good accompaniment to a sandwich or salad. If you are expecting a strong "tea" or tannin flavor you may be disappointed, but as a sweet light beverage to replace a juice or soda it gets high marks. Just note they are NOT kidding when they recommend the pump, accurately measuring this concentrate is key, although I always liked To go heavy on the flavor personally many people seem to prefer the recommended ratio of concentrate to water/ice and this will pour quick and syrupy without the pump. I am so excited to have this in my home as I have looked for the last 3 years for somewhere else that sells it locally.
I used to make the Oregan Chai mix at home, until I found this. This stuff is the best! I know the description says only 90 days refrigerated, but I've had mine in the fridge for close to a year and it still tastes great! Don't worry about buying the larger portion...it's cheaper and it lasts!
Great tea!!
I was not happy witht he taste of this concentrate. It had the sweet pomegranate flavor of a soda, but not of a green tea. So disappointing.
Wow, this is the best chai tea. I have ordered 4 different chai teas from online stores and nothing compares to the taste and quality of this one. Mine lasted 10 months in the fridge, it still tasted great.
When I tasted this tea for the first time I was in heaven! I will buy this tea and share with my family members. Everyone should try this tea. Exceptional flavor!!
I agree that the 64-oz. size is too large for the standard household, but here is a solution to your problem: Freeze the concentrate in 1 oz. portions. The typical ice cube tray is perfect for this task! When frozen solid, simply pop out the cubes and store them in a Ziplock bag. I hope this helps.
I love the Chai Tea concentrate, but the 64oz Jug is just too much. I can't use 64oz in 90 days, I threw out about a half of a jug just two weeks ago. I want to order more Chai, I just don't want to keep throwing out more money. The smaller containers (12oz) I think, worked well for me. I could keep 3 around, and might use all 3 within 90 days, but since all three bottles weren't open at once, I had plenty of time to use. The big issue, well besides the 64 oz, is that you've got 90 days to use after opening. Please, please, please bring back more manageable sizes for those of us, who drink a wide variety of teas, rather than daily doses of Chai (regardless of how fabulous it tastes).
Thank you for making the concentrate available again. This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHAI EVER!!!!
This is the same Chai tea from Panera Bread. I can't get enough of it. I served it to some friends and family after a dinner recently and I just heard that they too are purchasing some. It's just the best.
This chia is so good. Its the same that Panera Bread uses.
I have tried a lot of chai mixes looking for one that tasted like my favorite chai that I had in a shop once. This one fits the bill. The amount of spice is perfect, it's easy to blend, works great with the (naturally sweeter tasting) lactose free milk I use, and I can't get enough of it! This is a great all around chai that is sure to please anyone.
I have tried dozens of chai teas, and this is easily my favorite. It has just the right balance of flavors.
love it hot or cold over ice with vanilla soy milk. Yum!
Just awesome, the best.
This mix make other chai mixes look bad. It's such a lovely gingery, slightly-sweet blend. It's just fantastic.
I am a chai tea gourmet and this is the best chai I have ever tasted. They use it at Panera bread where I first had it and had to order some for myself . I wish you had a larger container of it we could order.
I love, love, love this chai!! It is the perfect blend of sweet and spice. I just wish it was sold in larger quantities.
Best Chai I ever bought! I will be buying this agsin. The shipping was also easy and arrived really fast.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Only wish it was offered in a larger size.
Wanted to compare this to another brand I get at the big box store. No comparison, this Chai tea is the best by far. I also purchased the Chai Latte Whip and have such fun creating a frothy top on it. I've now ordered other flavors and can't wait to try them.
I love this. I tasted this latte at a chain sandwitch shop and had to buy some for home and office. I wish the bottle included a 1oz. measure of some kind. Othewrwise it is perfect.
I am a huge Chai tea drinker and I had friend tell me about this. I bought my first bottle, received it today and I have to say I absoutely love it !! Awesome flavor - If you love Chai tea I would defenitely recommend buying this. I also want to mention that the ordering process was easy and I recieved my order very, very quickly.
Best chai tea ever.
I am an Iced Chai drinker. I seem to drink at least one every day. Usually from Starbucks. I have been know to drink from the rivals. If you are at all curious, this is finally a mix that tastes like the drink you buy for a premium. I am saving lot's of money drinking at home, and think this tea is a closer match to store drinks than from the box they sell in/ on site. Yum
