I disnt have high expectations when I initially purchased this but I have to say I am beyond glad I did. It brews a lovely cup of tea. The tea itself isn't strong like a cup of black tea is. I cant tell that it's a cup of chai tea as the maple scent and flavor are very prominent. I will say that it's worth every penny and I'm about to order more.
I'm a chai fan! I listened to the reviews on this one and they are absolutely true. This is a delicious tea. I'm used to the spicy type of chai, but I am loving the maple. It is not too sweet. I could drink this every day. What a treat!
To my taste, this chai has the perfect blend of tea and spices. To my mind, many chai's are over spiced, giving the resulting beverage a hard almost angular taste. The taste of this blend is nicely spicy but with a nice rounded taste, I attribute that to the dehydrated maple syrup. As others have said this chai makes a delightful latte, I add maple syrup sweetened medium cream to mine. It makes a nice late afternoon beverage, especially on a Sunday afternoon in Winter. One note: I like my teas significantly stronger than the people at Lyratea, instead of 1 tsp/8oz, brewed for 2-3 minutes; I use 2 Tbs for a 20 oz. mug and brew it for 5 minutes. I am looking forward to summer to see how it stands up to ice.

This is a lovely dessert tea, full of flavour without being overly sweet. Like having pancakes but without all the fat and stodge!
We are new customers and thought we would order a few things to try and this was one! Oh my goodness! This tea is amazing! No more expensive lattes for me at the coffee shops! We made this into a latte and it was amazing. Just the right touches of maple and chai flavors! Perfection in a pot.
We just received this tea in our order and it's beyond delicious. No more expensive coffees for me...we made this into a Chai Latte and it's incredibly divine. A mix of maple and spice. A perfect blend!
What a delicious and unique puerh blend! I love the marriage of maple, chai spices and the earthy dark tea- definitely a puerh blend to try. Very tasty,.
Love this tea - it's got a real ginger kick, mellowed by the maple flavour, and no overly-earthy pu-erh taste. Everyone in my family thinks this is delicious!
There's no doubting the quality of the tea. But its sweet, not a little sweet. Like eating condensed milk straight from the tin sweet.
