I love all different kinds of teas, and I have used several of the Lipton varieties, so I was more than ready to try this Chai tea. For those of you who are not familiar with Chai, it is the Middle Eastern version of black tea with spices in it. The spices can include cinnamon, cardamom,different kinds of pepper, and others.

This Lipton Chai tea has cinnamon, ginger, allspice, chicory, cloves and black pepper. It is a wonderful blend of spices in black tea that gets stronger as it sits. I found that one tea bag will make two cups of tea for me if I take it out of the first cup after about 2 minutes because I don't like it really, really strong. However, my husband likes to let his steep for about 5 minutes to reach full strength and not add any more hot water. So to each his or her own with these bags as far as the strength goes.

I love the flavor because I like all the ingredients. The cinnamon and pepper seem the strongest flavors to me, but my husband says he can taste the cinnamon with just a hint of other flavors. So again, taste is particular to each person, but overall, it is a wonderful flavor.

As a added "bonus", the pyramid shape of the bags is cool and helps add to the experience. This beverage makes a great compliment to a cold, winter day. You'll feel great, inside AND out!

I tried Lipton's new Spiced Cinnamon Chai Tea for the first time this week. As an occasional tea drinker, I knew going in to this trial that I preferred green teas over black teas.

But I wanted to give Lipton, a respected brand, a chance to win me over with this blend of black tea and spices. The packaging is slick. Once you open the box, you'll immediately notice that the tea bag is in the shape of a pyramid, not the traditional tea bag shape. Ever been outside after a wedding where you're given a silky piece of material with bird seed to throw at the happy couple as they exit the church? That's what this tea bag reminded me of. It felt plush and it fits the image that Lipton may be going for here with its exotic spices.

It's important to note that I drank this prepared with hot water. So consumers who wish to use milk or ice with this tea may not want to put too much stock into what I'm going to say, as their experience may very well be different.

Unfortunately, I was not a big fan of the tea. The taste of cinnamon was present, which isn't a bad thing. But I think the other spices overpowered its flavor in my mouth, and the result was not a pleasant taste to me. The tea had an aftertaste that lasted for approximately 3 hours, too, which was unexpected.

I'll stick with green teas myself going forward, but adventurous tea-drinkers who like black tea and are looking to cover some new ground with their next tea purchase should consider Lipton's Spiced Cinnamon Chai Tea.

    I tried this tea for Bzzagent and was pleasantly surprised. I felt it had a great tang to it and was perfect for an afternoon tea. It wasn't too strong and definitely not too weak. I really liked the pyramid shape - it gave it an extra sense of being a fancy expensive tea when in reality, it is priced right for all of us.

    Comments about Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags, Spiced Cinnamon Chai, 18 ea:

    I received this free for being a BzzAgent and have to say, I'm not an avid tea drinker unless it's iced, but do have boxes in my cupboard for iced tea and the occasional craving for a flavorful warm tea. When I opened the box, I immediately saw the cool prism tea bag and loved that you could actually see clove and smell the aroma instantly. I love cinnamon and decided to test run it without any additions. The aroma itself is awesome and it seeped through the bag easily into my cup. I usually don't finish a full mug, but this was so enjoyable (even alone and I usually am an add a holic) just close to my face that I kept sipping. The aroma of the bitter cloves combined with a cinnamon sweetness truly made this an enjoyable drink while suffering the sniffles, and I intend to savor it on a regular occasion!

      Comments about Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags, Spiced Cinnamon Chai, 18 ea:

      I recently tried the Lipton Spiced Cinnamon Chai Tea and found it soothing. The base of black tea with a hint of cinnamon made it even more flavorful. I'm an avid tea drinker and choose my flavors based on my mood. This is definitely one I'm going to now keep on hand. It's perfect for a cold chilly night and lovely with a touch of honey or milk. I think a little honey or stevia helps the flavor.

      The packaging was a little messy. There was loose tea and it was a bit of a turn off, but once I opened the packaging and shook it off I was okay with it. The bags are a unique triangle shape which I find helps when steeping to bring out the flavors of the tea and entice your sense of smell with the fragrant aroma. I do like to steep my teas a little longer than most. I love the full flavor you get from doing this.

      Lipton's Spiced Cinnamon Chai Tea is readily available and is most likely in the grocery store you usually shop at.

      I tried this through BzzAgent for free.

        I really loved the look of the pyramid tea bag! So cute! The tea was very tasty, alone or with a little milk and honey! I would love to see a little more airtight packaging for tea bags though... When I opened the box I decided to place all of the tea bags in a plastic ziplock bag, so they would stay fresh, because there wasn't any airtight packaging once the box was opened. (Part of the reason it didn't get 5 stars in my mind)

          I was very eager to try this tea, and very disappointed when I did. It was very weak (even after steeping it for almost 5 minutes) and bland, and it gave me a headache after only a few sips. I almost tore the tea bag trying to get the string off of it so I could place it in my cup. Chai is one of my favorite teas to drink whether it's for breakfast or for a treat, and this just left me cold.

          I've been drinking Chai Tea and Chai Lattes for about 10 years now, and I hate to say, but this version by Lipton just wasn't strong enough for me. The smell out of the box was great, and I love the triangle, loose leaf style bags - but after brewing for the recommended 2-3 minutes and a splash of milk and coconut sugar it just didn't taste like Chai. A black, cinnamon tea? Maybe, but not a traditional Chai that I'm used to.

            **I am very, very, very impressed! And, the pyramid tea bag is way too cool.. The 1st thing I noticed was the aroma of cinnamon & other spices that came out in abundance & filled my kitchen & all from the hot water I poured over that single pyramid shaped tea bag. How genius Lipton was to make the tea bag shaped like a pyramid. I must say I am still in awe by how cool the tea bag is.. Ya don't need a special occasion to brew this tea but, you will make it special just by doing so. I like to have a cup around lunch time & after dinner kinda like an after dinner coffee, but an after dinner tea. I did feel like it was a dessert & felt a tiny bit guilty for enjoying it with my favorite treat Cinnabon's. This tea needs nothing no sugar, lemon or cream it's perfect the way it is . But, I did try some honey since my throat was sore & ahhhh I was feeling better fast. I have loose teas & bagged teas & I honestly think it was as good as the loose. Just in a cool bag which makes it easy to clean up. I also simmered my used tea ages on the stove for a few hours just to make the house smell extra nice. I would give this 2 thumbs up, but since its tea I say pinkies up & enjoy a cup anytime of the day. Lipton surprised me & it will you too! There wasn't anything bad about this tea only good! :)

              I received a free box of the chai tea for participating in a Bzzagent campaign and Lipton definitely scored a win with the Spiced Cinnamon Chai tea. This is one of the best chai teas I have tasted.

              Most days, I enjoy a nice hot cup of Lipton regular black tea. I have even tried a few red, white and greens teas and some flavored blend from other brands(i.e. Celestial Seasoning, Bigelow, Tazo, Stash);this was my first experience with the Lipton flavored blends. After this experience, I will definitely try other Lipton flavored blends. I cannot wait to try the chai tea chilled.

              The Lipton Spiced Cinnamon Chai tea had a nice, sweet and spicy taste. The aroma is soothing and is very light on the palate with no after taste that you sometimes get from drinking other teas. The mix of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and black pepper is bold but not overpowering.

              I like the unique pyramid shape and the texture of the synthetic mesh tea bag. I think the texture of the tea bag helps the tea leaves diffuse nicely to give you a rich flavorful cup of tea.

              This is a tea I would recommend to my friends and family, not only for the aroma and taste but for the value
