One of the best traditional chai teas I’ve ever had. I just got some more and can’t wait to start every work day with a cup.

Excellent chai, liked it because it is unsweetened, organic and not peppery. Some chais are so heavy on the pepper! I steep this, then add tiny bit of honey and top with a little frothed milk and cinnamon for added decadence!

I have tried so many chai teas, and have finally come back to Divinitea’s Mayan Chai. Just the right organic flavorful blend of cloves, cinnamon, and ginger make this a perfect chai to warm you up!! I have mixed this chai with Divinitea’s organic coconut cream tea. The coconut pieces and vanilla add a little extra sweetness to the Mayan spices to make you smile!!!

The flavor of this chai is very good. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is a nice balance of sweet and spicy. I only gave it four stars, however, because I like my tea strong, and the recommended tea/water ratio tastes somewhat weak and watery to me, even when steeping for longer than recommended.

Mayan chai is the only thing I’ve ever had success drinking that made me just as happy as coffee, sometimes even more so. When my small bag runs out, I’ll probably be purchasing more!

I tried this tea at a local coffee shop that I have gone to every day for almost a year simply to drink their chai. It wasn’t until recently that I was able to track down where they ordered it from – and so, here I am!
This tea is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet. It is full-bodied and smells as delicious as it tastes. I cannot recommend this flavor highly enough.

I was introduced to this Chai Tea Blend from a Coffee Shop in the college district of Fredericksburg VA. The flavor of the spices is like having a party in your mouth. I drink this as a latte with steamed almond milk and add coconut butter as my sweetner and then top it off with a sprinkle of Ceylon Cinnamon. It is a true pleasure I look forward to having every day.

I found this chai a bit on the peppery side, but other than that very flavorful.

This is my favorite chai tea of all time. I first tried it at a coffee shop in Virginia, and one of the girls told me where to find it (it was supposed to be a secret). I’ve been ordering it off the website ever since. Nothing else compares!
