I love what I do and I do what I love. That’s the thought that skipped through my mind as I drank a hot mug of Jaipur Avenue Chai Tea.
As a tea review blogger, I have the enviable blessing of testing and reviewing tea. Yay me! As a result, I was sent a beautiful set of Chai Tea Mixes from Jaipur Avenue. This was a special thrill for me because I am the biggest fan of Chai Tea Lattes on earth or off. The Starbucks baristas within a three state radius know me, on site, and know to have a grande Chai Tea Latte waiting for me, with a smile. Actually, take that back, I don’t care whether they’re smiling or not.
I also really like Panera Bread’s Chai Tea Latte but I have to admit, I tend to get iced green tea when I’m anywhere near Panera.
I’ve tried many times to create my own versions of Chai Tea Lattes at home but they somehow always lack that certain special exotic magic. Until now, that is. Jaipur Avenue’s Chai Tea mixes allow you to have Coffeehouse Chai Tea Lattes without stepping foot out of your home. They’re as fast and easy and boiling water (probably because that’s all that’s involved) and taste so exceptional that you’ll lose yourself completely in each sip.
My set included the following flavors:
- Original Masala
- Cardamom
- Ginger
- Vanilla
- Saffron
I’ve only had the Chai mixes a couple of days, so I’ve only (so far!) tried the Original Masala and the Saffron. I’ll give reviews for the other flavors as I try them… as in tonight and tomorrow.
Jaipur Avenue Original Masala Chai Tea Mix
The first chai mix I tried from Jaipur Avenue was the Original Masala. With the name, I assumed this would be the one that tasted most similar to coffeehouse Chai Tea Lattes. I was right, except for one tiny detail – It’s better! The fragrant mixture of cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and peppercorn had me floating on air before I even tasted it. After one taste, I was in Chai Tea Heaven and wasn’t sure I ever wanted to return to earth. When giving reviews, I always like to give the first words that pop into my head, as these are usually the most descriptive and accurate. After one taste, I thought, “Exotic. Flavorful. Delicious. It tastes like I’m actually in India!”
This is what Chai Tea Lattes are supposed to taste like.
The health benefits of the spices in Original Masala are nearly as impressive as the flavor:
- stimulates metabolism
- aids digestion
- boosts immune system
- relieves nausea

Jaipur Avenue Saffron Chai Tea Mix
I’ll be honest, I was a little leery of the word Saffron and wasn’t sure what to expect from this particular Chai Tea Mix. However, the Original Masala blew me away so completely that I was confident enough to try one of its friends. The Saffron Chai Tea Mix has the similar exotic flavor and intense deliciousness of the original. It’s outstanding! The main difference I noticed was that the Saffron Chai Tea seemed a little bit sweeter and had a distinct extra flavor that my mind processed as “pretty.” Strange description, I know, but truth be told my mind can often be a strange playground. I honestly love the Saffron, almost as much as I do the Original Masala.
The Saffron Chai Tea Mix has less of a “Chai” flavor than the original, or than any Chai teas I’ve had. It would be ideal for anyone who isn’t into Chai (you know who you are, Emily).

Be sure to watch for my reviews of the other flavors: Vanilla, Cardamom, and Ginger. Vanilla’s next up. In fact, I find that I’m not doing anything at the moment….
EDIT: Emily (Little Miss “I don’t like Chai Tea“) tried some of the Saffron Chai Tea from Jaipur Avenue yesterday and LOVED it. She’s coming around and I knew Jaipur Avenue would be the one to make her see the light.
