The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Organic Assam black with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove in a paper sachet. Lighter spice than a loose masala: more black tea, less fire. The compromise for people who want chai flavor from a tea bag without committing to a pot and a strainer.
Chai from a paper bag. Less fire, more convenience. Still earns the name. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve, without pretending to solve every stage after it.
