      Mom absolutely loves it and calls it a cross between a French vanilla cappuccino and a tea.

      I found it to be a soft flavoured chai without any strong spice. The dry leaf smell reminds me of a frosted vanilla cookie though.

      I absolutely love this tea. The vanilla flavor is not overwhelming, and it's equally perfect black or with a bit of milk and honey.

    • 

      An exceptional tasty tea, the right amount of balance for each favor in the tea and it becomes a nice dessert tea if milk is added

      A nostalgic and sweet chai. It is lovely as is or with a splash of cream

    • 

      There's something toasty and almost cookielike about this chai. Mellower than Twinings' French Vanilla Chai, it's lovely with sugar and cream.

    • 

      I like chai, but I feel like this one more adds a bit of extra bitterness than anything else. I prefer their vanilla tea over the vanilla chai

      I'm biased against black teas. It had a good flavor but couldn't finish the package because of the caffeine.

    • 

      I'm not a fan of chai tea but this one is really good. The vanilla flavor balances out the chai.

      My go to for bagged Chai tea. I love Chai teas, especially, when vanilla is mixed in. Hard to find decent ones on the bagged end. This version is nice and smooth. Definitely my go to when I want Chai tea to go as I normally use loose tea instead.

      I used to drink this all the time in school. This and the now-discontinued Vanilla Hazelnut. Even though I've moved on to better teas, I still like this once in a while.

      I like this flavor a lot but I really wish the company made plastic-free tea bags.

      Chai teas are one of my favorite teas——I just love (most) of them! I save my collection of better quality loose-leaf tea for home. It’s really hard to deal with loose-leaf tea in airports so I stash a few bags of chai in my bag and away I go! This brand of Vanilla Chai is one of the better flavored ones IMO, and is suitable to travel with. There’s a lot to be said for convenience. But great quality teas are meant to be enjoyed for the experience, so this isn’t a tea I would turn to in order to savor.

      When convenience and price have to override quality, this is a pretty good blend. The vanilla and spice blend well, and carry along convenience is a plus.

    • 

      Medicinal with a very prominent gingerbread taste. The vanilla was artificial tasting. Not good, I've had much tastier chaos.

      I'm generally more of a loose-leaf person, but this is a go to for when I do have to have bagged teas. I've also used this in a cookie recipe before and it holds up well.

    • 

      We actually keep this tea on hand a lot because it's kind of a general crowd pleaser and tea bags are convenient when just one person doesn't want the pot if tea we're having. Splash of cream is nice and a little stevia.

      For a bagged Chai tea, was decent. I wasn't impressed with the fake vanilla, tho.

    • 

      The vanilla flavor is actually kind of nice and offsets the usual Bigelow spice hatchet job somewhat.

    • 

      Chai teas are a favorite of mine. This vanilla version adds a favorite flavor note to a lovely cup of spice. While this isn’t the quality of a lose tea, this bagged tea is wonderful for convenience.

      This off the shelf tea is good, I put a little creamer in it and delicious. I prefer loose leaf, but this will do.

      This is my go to for bagged teas, I have never had this tea go bitter and I enjoy its flavor and smell very much. The smell is almost exactly like gingerbread.

      I love a good chai tea. This was was pretty delicious a little too sweet for me to enjoy every day.

      A decent chai when you are looking for something a bit sweeter

    • 

      Decent but artificial flavoring and has a weird bitterness to it.

      It seemed like a good tea, but I just don't like chai. The vanilla was nice, though.

      I can imagine it is easy to love if you're a chai fan so I'll reflect that in my review.

    • 

      Pretty good bagged chai. I like the strong vanilla flavor.

      I love this tea! It isn't as strong as a typical cup of chai, but the vanilla flavor is very strong, which I like.

    • 

      For an off the self tea, this is a pretty solid chia. Best with sugar and milk.

      I was curious about this chai, so, I got it. I've tried dozens of chais as this is, without a doubt, unapologetically over the top with its mix of natural and artificial vanilla flavor and aroma.

      Perfect for those seeking bold flavors. I tried it with milk, of course, to balance it and with another high caffeine black tea.. I like that this is labeled GLUTEN FREE. I think more companies should do that.

    • 

      I bought a box of these, tried one, and never tried any more. Too much of a chemical, fake flavor, which wasn't softened by cream.

    • 

      I don't love the vanilla - it has a bit of a chemical flavor. Bigelow makes some better blends.

    • 

      Gross. Not a fan. Wish there was more spice in the tea

      My husband loves this tea, he puts a little agave and some heavy cream in it and says it tastes like dessert.

    • 

      As a big fan of chai tea, I rarely find a bad chai tea and this is definitely not a bad one

    • 

      Decent chai tea, I usually add a little of honey and some coconut milk

    • 

      I'm not usually a chai tea drinker, but this blend is very nice. It's not as strong as other chai teas I've had.

    • 

      Very vanilla! I like to brew this in oat milk with a wee bit of honey before bed during cold months.

      I don't know what it is about this tea, but it has a really off-putting aroma and taste.

      It's alright. I had to add milk to mine for it to be enjoyable. But hey, its good for the price

    • 

      This tea tasted like a candy bar. Its very artificial and sweet

    • 

      For a grocery store chai this one isn't bad. favorite out of the other mainstream chais.

    • 

      This is a tasty and decadent tea, but it also comes across a bit "artificial" to me. (I'll still happily drink it.) I appreciate that it's reasonably strong.

    • 

      Pretty nice little dessert tea. Make sure to use sweetener of choice and milk or cream of choice to make it great!

    • 

      Quite good as far as bagged teas go! A bit of an acidic bite to it but fantastic if brewed with milk or cream!
