Chai Tea recs

[donutsmakemegonuts]

I am planning some Christmas gifts and I want to give my work friend a little something this year.  She likes Chai tea, so I need a rec on a good brand/flavor because I don't drink it.  I have a cute mug and a smores chocolate bar (her fave) to give her as well.

VAHDAM masala chai (chai is the word for tea, so what you are asking for is recommendations for tea tea - it's actually masala chai you are looking for).

+1 I love Vahdam

Blue Lotus Chai has been my favorite for several years. The little tins and spoons are cute, it's instant so no cleanup, brews strong, and it comes unsweetened so I can make it spicy, not syrupy. I keep a regular and a rooibos (caffeine free) on hand. IMO the other flavors don't taste much different anyway.

Adding to the Vahdam recs. Their chai and non-chai teas that I’ve tried have all been very good. Any variety will be good, and they should have samplers too if you want to go that route.

Vadham lovers - how do you prepare it? I have some right now and I'm underwhelmed.

Like all types of tea, there is a lot of variety in masala chai and picking one for someone else without knowing more about their specific preferences may be challenging.
