I wish it had a touch more cocoa flavor.
This blend isn't as spice-forward as some teas labeled chai are so it took a few cups to adjust. I add a fair amount of milk and no sweetener. I wasn't sure at first but now I love it and drink several cups a day with such regularity that I've become a subscriber!
This is a great tea. I love it with a touch of half and half. I also love to froth my half and half make it into a teaspoon by teaspoon of half & half with my Mushroom Cacao. A special treat. The packaging is fun and the service fast ! Thank you. May we all be healthier.
A delicious twist on chai with a lovely grounding quality to it. My husband quickly claimed it as a favorite. We love it with honey and almond milk creamer.
As always Republic of tea has come through with another great tea
Wonderful, smooth blend that is not too strong and very soothing! I often have this as an afternoon or after dinner pick-me-up. After tasting this in their chai sampler, I ended up buying the refill - it's delicious!
My husband is a huge chai fan and likes this flavor. He gives it 7 out of 10 on flavor.
Great robust earthy chocolate tea with subtle spices. Mushrooms are not noticeable. Must have more.
This tea just ticks all the boxes. The spices are warm and strong, very reminiscent of masala tea. The cacao and mushroom add a subtle complexity that supports and compliments the spices. I enjoy this tea so much. This is the third or fourth time I've purchased it.
Well blended, earthy, chocolatey, and lightly spiced. It’s not particularly strong in cacao or chai flavoring, but both flavors come through just enough! I’m do generally enjoy milk with chai but I prefer this tea straight up- no milk to sugar!
I appreciate the chocolate component of this chai. I don’t need to add milk or sugar to enjoy it!
I love it! Great taste.
I'm a chocolate lover! I have tried a couple of mushroom teas, but this one is my favorite. I don't add sugar to keep my tea healthy and this particular tea doesn't need any sweetener as an after dinner finish with a nice chocolatey taste.
My favorite of the chai family because of the cacao and low caffeine. Adding a mint leaf adds herbal freshness. I plan to make a batch with cream and milk and put in an ice cream/sorbet maker for a frozen treat.
Who would have thought I’d love mushrooms? This is the only way! Yummy!
Love this tea's earthy chai and cacao flavor notes as well as the health benefits! It's delicious whether paired with a little bit of honey or without any additions. It's quickly become one of my favorites.
This is one of my favorite teas, but why (as other reviews have stated) is there no tin canister? I know there is a mini tin in the chai set, but I can’t have tea with caffeine so buying a set that contains two caffeinated teas for a tiny tin is a waste. Please Republic of Tea, make a tin for this tea so I can add it to the shelf with all of my other Republic of Tea tins!
This tea taste really nice. And of course I love how healthy it is.
I am not even sure now many times I have bought this. I hope it never gets discontinued. I dont even like carob, and I can't get enough of this tea. It has so much dimension, and such a comforting and full flavor, and is unique without being off putting or odd. Herbal and yet could mask as real tea with how much earthy flavor it delivers. My husband thinks it smells a bit medicinal in the canister, but once he tried it a few times, he likes it too. We are going through this one and Coconut Cocoa very fast this winter!
I don't like mushrooms but my daughter does, so I purchased this for her as she buys other mushroom coffee products. She encouraged me to try a cup, and finally after much hesitation I did. I was really surprised. I tasted the chocolate (carob) and other chai spices, making it not too earthy (just pleasantly so) and surprisingly good. Plus the healthy benefit of the reishi mushroom powder is a great positive. Would consider buying this for me too!
When I first opened the bag (side note: this tea needs its own tin!) I was immediately worried because the small emanating from the bag was... unpleasant. Nevertheless, I persisted, and made myself a cup with some milk. And my concerns were alleviated! A nice subtle (but present!) chocolate flavor with chai spices and a very subtle earthiness added by the mushrooms. The bags are a tad weak, but the flavor is a very nice and comforting flavor. Good with a tiny bit of honey, too.
I've newly discovered the benefits of Reishi and love chai so I took a chance on this and I'm so glad I did. The smell was a bit off-putting but it tastes really wonderful. I don't detect mushroom at all. It's a very rich, smooth flavor. The spices are lovely and balanced, sometimes cinnamon can overwhelm the other flavors in chai but not this one. It will be a very cozy cup of tea this Fall..if I still have any left.
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 the Bold Green Chai and Bold Black Chai are the closest I've experienced. This tea (which comes in the stackable tin with the aforementioned) is a nice alternative for when you don't need the caffeine. It's got a similar flavor to the other two--a fair amount of cardamom that's not overpowered by cloves and pepper--but is a bit more earthy. 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). The only bad thing about this tea is that I can't get it in its own tin!
The tea had a good flavor, but very weak. The tea bags are VERY small, and only for 6 oz of water, not even a full 8 oz cup, and if you like a splash of milk in you tea, you either have to use even less water, or have very weak tea. I can not recommend this tea, because I like a strong flavored tea. So combined with the fact you have to use two tea bags, and there are only 36 bags, it makes it an expensive cup of tea for the price.
Now that I'm on my second bag, I feel it's only fair to revise my review of this outstanding tea. This fantastic tea has become my afternoon favorite. It's chai with a chocolatey twist and some health benefits of mushrooms. How could you go wrong? Add a touch of stevia, a splash of milk and a cozy blanket, I'm set!
The scent when I open the bag smells delicious. I brew for 7 mins then add dark honey and milk. I'm so glad I brought this herbal into my life as the nights are getting cooler. Feels like comfort and contentment when I sip this special treat. I love cinnamon, and this provides the cinnamon I crave. It'll be difficult not to choose this every evening for my winding-down sip-on.
Love this tea so much that I'm purchasing my second bag already! Drink it at night now that the weather is changing and nights are colder. Someone commented about the powder in the bag…I use it in my tea. It's extra cacao powder. And extra chocolate never hurt anyone ;-).
Wow! This is some tasty Chai tea! Love it! Different and GOOD! Highly recommend trying it.
I enjoy this tea. For me, it is just the right amount of cinnamon. My only complaint is the powder in the bag. It feels like I should be able to put it in a bag of my own. It seems like RofT should do that for customers. As with another tea I like, it is not a deal breaker...mostly annoying and concerning.
From the description, I wasn't sure I would like this tea. Now that I have tried it, it is the bomb! The chocolate is like a liqueur, heady and dense. The flavor is deep and clean. I add this to my chocolate chai to round out the best flavor. I love this tea.
This is a delicious and unique chi that was bought for me as a gift. I would have never tried it on my own. It is now one of my favorites
I thought this tea had strong cinnamon overtones. I was expecting more carob with the essence of the cinnamon. It's okay. Probably will not buy this again.
Tried this on a whim, was blown away by the overwhelming scent upon opening the bag. I add it to my chai to make an amazing chocolate chai. Love it iced with stevia. Like eating dessert all day!
Glad I tried this tea, now it's one of my favorites. Oddly enough the aroma and taste kind of reminds me of Christmas. Never been a huge fan of chai tea which can be too pungent, this tea on the other hand is nicely balanced.
i just ordered more, my adult children go right to the tea when they come over. i add some honey, they drink as is. i like chia and i like chocolate, so the taste is pleasing and reishi has health effects . no caffine, so nice as a evening treat. much better than having a cup of hot cocoa
I read the review on the stackable chai tin and people had great things to say about the mushroom cacao chai tea (so if you need more reviews go there to read it.) I decided to try this because I didn't want any more chai tea. I love the taste of mushroom cacao chai tea. I think it will be my new favorite and go-to.
