This really shouldn’t be on the market. I was so excited about our new machine and while I love coffee, I wanted to have an alternative to coffee for a treat in the evening. I should have listened to the other reviews. This product is not good.
Disgusting. Odd cloying sweetness, not much chai flavor. Really terrible.
Great taste and unique product, give it a try!
I love chai and was so excited to try these pods. But you can taste the artificial sweetener in it and it doesn't taste like chai. Will not recommend.
On its own it was just like drinking spices it was gritty and over powering BUT once I doctored it up I was in love!!!! I added some vegan half and half and skinny mix choc hazelnut and it was amazing I was drinking two a day! I only wish they had sugar free versions
So easy to use with Nespresso machines. So good!
I love most teas from Republic of Tea so when my class (I am a teacher) wanted to do a beverage cart we started with a liquid chai tea concentrate (not from Republic of Tea) and it is great and big seller. When I saw these pods I thought this would be easier for my students, but we can not get it creamy and my chai drinkers will not buy it because of the way it looks. We gave a few free cups away and the result was now no one wants it. We have tried adding additional milk, but it is just not tasting good. I saw in one other review that they poked holes in the pod with a toothpick and this helped the taste. I have a couple pods left and I am going to try this because bland and watery would be a description of the drink we got so far.
Really glad I tried it despite some reviews saying aftertaste issues. While I don't normally go for presweetened drinks I really like theses pods! Nice to be able to use machine for something other than coffee that I usually only drink in AM. Not too sweet and I add a little more "cream" to it. Going to try some of the other pods now!!
I really wanted to like this, and was willing to give it a try even though most of the reviews were poor. The capsules don't fit well into my Nespresso Essenza mini (original not vertuo). After making them, they are watery, have an almost bitter aftertaste and are not creamy at all. I only drink plant milk, so was very excited by this. I'm glad I only got the small package to try. I also ordered the dream latte, london fog and cocoa shroom, but have not tried them yet. I suspect they will be very similar. I love a wide variety of teas and drink multiple cups a day.
I only buy capsules that will seamlessly flow in the Nespresso aluminum recycling channel. Plastic - no.
left an unwanted after taste. tasted artificial. capsules had white powder around them. very poor product.
Generally love Republic of Tea but this was enormous disappointment. Flavor is a bust.
Tastes predominantly of powdered milk. Brewed one capsule Lungo and one espresso strength. Truly can find nothing to recommend this. Also too sweet. Truly sorry I bought this.
Tastes like fake tea and has only a little chai flavor. I've tried some other chai mix tea and they are much better.
Great idea but very limiting with the added whey, milk and sugar. I'm hoping for a more stripped down version soon as I only add heavy cream to my drinks (its all fat without the allergens) and I have cut out sugar completely. Lovely for those who don't have issues with the above.
Excellent
Excellent flavor, but such a small dose!
They whey powder makes me bloated - if you made a vegan version I would buy it IN A HEARTBEAT
