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

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.

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.
-
Greg Bancroft
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.

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.

Julia Bentley
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.

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

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

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!
