I tried Adagio's masala chai again today. This time, I deliberately used half as much tea as the package called for. The resulting brew was a little bitter but not unbearably so, even with a five minute steeping time. I put in stevia, but I think I'd have been okay without it. I'm not sure how I feel about the cloves in the mix, however.

I don't think any of the Adagio chais I've tried is my one true chai. Adagio has a green chai and a white chai that I didn't order samples of. I don't know if I will try them later on or not. I'm not sure how well either would work. Don't green and white teas normally have shorter steeping times? I have the impression that chais require longer steeping because of the spices.
