Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The key to enjoying this chai masala is to mix it up before use. My first cup was ridiculously peppery. Although I love pepper, I knew that the spices must have settled during shipping. So, with the little wooden scoop inside as an agitator, I shook the can for several minutes. Sure enough, some of the spices were actually packed down at the bottom, while those on top were looser. I used the little scoop to break up clumps, and shook some more. You could actually see different shades of color in the different layers, so I stirred with the little scoop to mix the colors together. After shaking and stirring, my second cup had a wonderful balance of chai spice flavors the remind me of the chai at a nearby restaurant. I could still taste a little pepper, of course, but nothing like that first cup had. What a treat! So do yourself a favor before you use it, and shake it up!
