Product Description

Have you heard of Chai? Chai (pronounced as a single syllable and rhymes with 'pie') is the word for tea in many parts of the world. It is a centuries-old beverage and has been popular in many cultures throughout Asia. Chai from India is a spiced milk tea that has become increasingly popular throught the world. Chai has become very common at over-the-counter speciality beverage shops from Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts. In its most basic form, chai is black tea that is brewed strong with a combination of spices and is diluted with milk and sugar.
Twinings Chai Tea Latte is made from a fusion of black tea, exotic spices of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger, and milk creamer to create a wonderfully creamy and rich texture. And now your Tassimo can create this delicious warm, soothing beverage in your home when you want it.
The full-bodied, lush and gentle flavor of Gevalia Teas is made possible by how, when and where the teas are harvested. Early in the morning, the high valleys of Ceylon are drenched in tree hugging mist, nursing tea leaves with minute beads of pure moisture. As the sun gently warms the leaves, our pickers work their way silently among the tea bushes, removing only the top two leaves and the bud by hand and carefully placing them in wicker baskets. This gentle harvesting, is one of the secrets to the extraordinary flavor and taste of Gevalia Teas.

Customer Reviews

Tastes like a pumpkin spice latte!
Found this flavor at Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm not one for teas, usually, but the Tassimo has opened a whole new world of tea-drinking to me. I decided to be a little adventurous and try this one out.

I enjoyed this flavor quite a bit... like most Tassimo flavors using their ultra-pasteurized 2% milk pods, you'll either love or hate the drink because of the milk. Also, I have a real sweet tooth and this drink did not disappoint in that regard, though it might be too sweet for a lot of people. Cloves and cardamom are well-represented in this drink, though the cinnamon and ginger were a little overpowered by the sweetener and the milk. To me, it smells and tastes a lot like a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks, only sweeter and less bitter (yes I know one is tea and the other is espresso).

For those of you terrified of sucralose (SPLENDA), you should know the tea contain it as a sweetener. I personally don't buy into all the paranoia, but I just thought I'd throw that in. My girlfriend is a self-professed "Splenda detector" and hates it, but she didn't notice.

For those of you having trouble with grounds in your drink, try changing your piercing mechanism? The piece can be replaced for $9.99 on the Tassimo website. ... Just my suggestion.

YUCK
VERY sweet. I bought 2 boxes and threw them away. I could not finish one cup.

Doesnt taste like Chai should
I really like other coffee's and hot chocolate available for the tassimo system so I bought the chai latte discs - and I was dissapointed. The chai is overpowered by a syrupy flavor. If you're looking for a great cup of chai, dont pick this one. If you love synthetic tastes, this is the one for you.
