I had tried various masala chai from other vendors and was always disappointed with either the mix of spices or the quality of the tea or the level of spices relative to tea. And then I came upon NMTC's masala spice mix. It's the perfect mix of spices for my tastes and it smells and tastes fresh and flavorful. I love that I can mix the spices with my own teas or rooibos, as well as adjust how much spice mix to put in.

This mix is amazing! It is bold and spicy and mixes well with green tea or is delicious with just a bit of almond milk and honey for a non-caffeinated treat. And the customer service…absolutely amazing. Responsive and they go above and beyond.

Verified Purchase

I ordered a pound of the masala spice mix recently and feel free to make it now everyday. I had been hoarding some I bought when I was visiting in Albuquerque almost a year ago. It is the best masala spice mix I have ever had and mixed with rooibos it makes a delicious, dark rich and invigorating tea! It was shipped immediately and arrived much sooner then I expected. Thank you David and New Mexico Tea Co.

Fresh and delicious. Just what I was expecting. I boil with almond milk and a little maple syrup for a dairy-free treat!

A long time ago I had some chai made by David and just loved it. Then I forgot about it for a while. So glad to remember it. The spices are fresh and pungent. I like the idea of being able to tailor my chai depending on my mood so sometimes I make it stronger than others. I use it with the Organic Irish Breakfast tea as it has a full body that can stand up to this delicious blend of spices.I add a bit of honey and half and half cream and this brew sustains me through the afternoon.

The New Mexico Tea Co. Chai Spice Mix is the best - no need to make your own any more because make it so well - just the right amount of all the ingredients and they make it fresh all the time!

I love Chai tea, but I have found that the teas that I have ordered are normally not as pungent as I like. This one is different. It has a stronger flavor that I like and the spicy flavor actually progresses. I also replace the milk with almond milk which gives it a different flavor.

I just got this yesterday. I don't think I have the proportions figured out yet, but it makes a good cup of chai. I use non-dairy milk and the Assam CTC tea "pellets" that I bought along with the chai spice, per David's recommendation. Try it out!

I've tried several different chai blends from various vendors with mixed results, but this is my favorite. The spices are well balanced; there's no specific one that overpowers the others, and it's very versatile. This is a great "basic" chai blend that anyone can enjoy, by itself or in other drinks (it tastes fabulous in hot chocolate and green tea).

I love Chai tea and this blend is the best I've tasted so far. I like my Chai full bodied, so I add a extra 1/2 tsp. per cup to achieve perfection. I add a tiny amount stevia and a splash of heavy cream to enjoy with my evening tv program.
