Reviews for Bold Black Chai

Spicy!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I didn't drink chai teas for a while because I don't take milk in my tea, but this tea makes a wonderful, warming, spicy cup of black tea without milk also.

Needs to be bolder
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This needs to be bolder. I need two tea bags in a 8 oz cup and it needs to steep 5-8 minutes. If it was truly bold, would I need two bags?

Not the boldest chai I've ever had
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I love a strong masala chai, but this requires 2 teabags per cup to even come close to my chai from Dubai, Adagio and Spicewalla. Still there's no such thing as bad chai, so I will just add more spices.

My New Favorite Chai
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have been a longtime Republic of Chai lover, but decided to pick up a tin of Bold Black Chai on a whim and boy, am I glad I did! Bold Black Chai instantly brought me back to college when my professor from India would bring carafes of homemade chai to our class. I was shocked at how close this tasted to that and although Republic of Chai is still a winner in my book, I don’t think I’ll be switching back. It’s been less than a week since I got my Bold Black Chai tin and I’ve already bought the 250 bag refill!

I did enjoy this tea - and I love that it is elephant friendly - so I gave it 4 out of 5, but I have found another chai blend that I like better. I don't have a refined enough palate to tell what exactly I like better about the other, but that's on me. If you like chai, you should try this blend, it might be just right for you!

The clove flavor and aroma is way too strong.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

When I first opened the tin I caught only the aroma of clove with a hint of pine - like a cheap Christmas candle. The clove overpowers all other spices. I am disappointed because I have loved all the other R of T kinds I have tried, but not this one. There is a Republic chai with orange in it. Maybe that one would be better.

Bold (ish) but Concentrate is Bolder!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a really nice mixture of spices. I can smell and taste the cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. I don't get a definite taste of ginger or black pepper, so if you are not a fan of those two spices, don't worry! The blend truly works to create a mellow flavor of it's own, a real chai. If you are a fan of chai, you will like this blend because it's fast and easy. However, true lovers of chai will adore the bottle of chai concentrate! OMG - so so so so good!

Chai with Attitude
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

When my husband and I were courting, we had a habit of trying out chai wherever we went. All too often, the spice mixtures were harsh rather than flavorful, with way too much clove and poor-quality cinnamon. Bold Black Chai is assertive but in all the best ways. It's smooth rather than coarse, and the spices are perfectly balanced. Best of all, the lingering warmth is delicious rather than numbing. My daughter, who is a chai addict, says this is her all-time favorite.

This may sound strange, but I love this tea as my "breakfast "tea. Every morning I have this tea. I put a touch of maple syrup for sweetener. My absolute favorite tea. I have it on autoship every month. It isn't overly spicy. But just enough that you know it's there. And if I feel like more later on, I often have it again. Even though I have plenty of flavors to choose from. Order today and get you some. You will be forever thankful.

No offense to Republic Chai, but I tried it as a refill for this tin because it was cheaper, and it was not the same!

This is the third chai from the brand (Apple Pie Chai & Republic Chai included) I have tried. I like this the best. It is the darkest color brew & has the strongest flavors.

While not labeled as a chai, it brought home the thunder!

This tea lands sweet with a very smooth finish similar to but almost sweeter than the Republic Chai. If you like a stronger tea, I recommend doubling the amount of tea you use. Interestingly.

This is labeled as bold, but the flavors are quite muted compared to other teas labeled as "chai." The spices such as black pepper, cardamom and ginger are mild and hard to pick up.

My 2nd favorite pre-made chai
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

For many years, I lived a mile or so from a fabulous Nepalese restaurant, with chai to die for. I've always hoped to find something similar in teabag form, and this is one of the closest I've experienced (I prefer the bold green chai by a smidge). Unlike many competitors, this has a fair amount of cardamom that's not overpowered by cloves and pepper. I like it with steamed milk, no sweetener needed (caveat: if Oregon Chai or Starbucks' chai is your idea of chai, you probably will want to add some sweetener).

Not sure what makes this "bold"...

Chai tea
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

This tea is smooth and perhaps bland but not necessarily in a bad way. It is comforting in its VERY mild taste. It is chai tea for those who aren't really into chai. I like strong Chai with little to no cardamom I usually have to mix my own. I will keep buying this because the cardamom flavor is low. For a flavorful Chai tea, I will go to Starbucks and endure the overly sweet syrup used to make their chai tea (the taste comes from the syrup not the tea (I think this is not authentic Chai, but it is seriously tasty and comforting). This review might seem to contradict itself so the bottom line is that I do like this for what it is - mild chai tea.

This is favorite at my house--we brew one teabag in a whole pot for an hour or so and chill before pouring into a tall glass with a generous pour of whole milk. For me, it's well balanced and fragrant. Some chai blends are too heavy on cinnamon, but this one allows pepper and cardamom to shine through as well.

It has the freshest Chai spices that I ever had. It is the freshest tasting Chai tea that I've ever had. The spice flavoring is what makes this tea stand out above other Chai teas, you may have had elsewhere. The Republic of Tea makes the best! I will keep buying this tea as long as it's available.

Not Bold. The Opposite of Bold.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

While I admit to like being kicked in the teeth with my chai, there is nothing bold about this tea. It barely registers as chai, in my opinion. I tried doubling up on tea bags, it didn't help. If you don't know what chai should taste like and you prefer weak beverages, this could be the one for you. I ended up leaving my canister in the staff room at work for someone to try. Two pots for overall quality of product and elephants.
