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.
