I also order this stuff from coffeeam.com but it is a concentrate; it says right on the carton to add equal parts of milk(or milk substitute - I use 1/2% milk to watch calories and cholesterol levels). I also use the Krups espresso machine in order to steam my milk before mixing with the heated up Chai. And as a result, it tastes exactly like Starbucks. I can drink it at a much lower cost though by making it at home! If your Chai is made this way, you shouldn't taste a 'peppery' or 'spicy' taste. That means there is too much chai. Of course, after reading the other reviews, I realize that some people enjoy the stronger flavor. But for those who enjoy the Starbucks Chai, this is the way to go.

Tazo Tea is excellent - you most likely already know this before even reading this review. Tazo Chai Latte is no exception. My only issue is that I paid CoffeeAM for this item, listed as "Tazo Chai Latte Concentrate" and when it arrived, found that it is NOT actually Concentrate - it's just the normal Tazo Chai Latte. This changes the purchase in my mind dramatically - the cost per volume just went up. Please know before buying that the product is great, but it's not what's advertised, so factor that into the cost.

I have purchased this from the star place many times and here. It is the same stuff. The amount you use depends on how strong you like your chai. I mix mine 1/2 and 1/2 with soy milk for a rich creamy warm wintery beverage. Works great mixing in a blender as well for a cool creamy beverage (does seperate if you don't drink it fast enough, but a few swirls or shakes fixes that right up). Add a little extra chai for stronger flavor. Highly recommend! One container makes anywhere from 3-8 glasses of chai for me.

This is the same brand, but not the same concentration (and therefore not the same flavor) as the Chai extract used by Starbucks. The extract used by Starbucks is more heavily concentrated and therefore more intense in flavor. Very disappointing.

Tazo Chai Latte Concentrate
Although this isn't the same product they use at Starbucks (same manufacturer but the actual product they use at Starbucks isn't available to the public), it is a decent replacement. To get the full flavor of a Starbucks Chai Tea Latte, I have to use this at 50% mix/50% milk. Since there is no Starbucks within 30 miles of my location, this is a good replacement.

Great product.... just like starbucks... 1st day I recieved my order i made 4 cups 3 for me 1 for the wife. I have an chopper attachment which works with my hand mixer and found it does a great job as a frother...... mix while the milk and syrup heats up on the stove...unless you own a expresso machine. You will love this if yor a fan of the starbucks chai lattes.

I've been trying to duplicate the terrific spicy chai tea I get at my two favorite local Indian restaurants and so far the only one that has come close is the Third Street brand. This Tazo brand is very good, but it doesn't have the spicy kick that Third Street Chai has.

If you're used to this brand or don't go for spicy chai, then Tazo is very good, but if you want a bit of 'umph' to your chai, definitely go with Third Street!

This Tazo Chai is exactly what I was looking for. This concentrated liquid is perfect for a cold Chai (I like mine w/ Vanilla Silk) or steamed for a latte during the colder months. A comment about some of the reviews I read before purchasing: if you are drinking this hot, unless you are steaming the milk/silk/etc., it will not taste like what you get at starbucks or your favorite coffee place. Just heating the milk does not add the micro-bubbles that make a drink a latte.

this is the original chai tea stuff, and is good almost straight over ice, or with a little milk - iced or hot. But please note, that this chai is not the same as you get when you order Chai in that Star place on the corner. they use a stronger concentrate. this one is the same, but with water ordered. thats the difference.

I Know I am in the minority here but I do not like this tea. I've had chai tea before and loved it, but Tazo's version is weird. It contains black pepper. It strongly overpowers the drink for me. In my opinion black pepper does not belong in a drink. I found this undrinkable.
