Additional notes: I made the brew only partly following the instructions of the manufacturer. Instead of water and milk, I used whole milk only. But I infused the tea for 5 minutes.
However I gave this tea a rating of 4/5, I felt not so impressed compared with Tea India Masala Chai made by Tea India LTD. If I needed to choose between these two teas, I would go for Tea India Masala Chai.
Also, I would recommend using 2 bags at a time to get a better flavour.
On the other hand, it is a great alternative option for Masala Chai.
