The winter season is here and so are our chai cravings. While we all love that perfectly tailor-made cup of tea, not every time are you in the mood to make some on your own. Those who live in PGs, or hostelers may not have access to the right ingredients at all times. This is where Chai Premixes can help. But Premixed chais can sometimes be over sweet or the spice blend can be off-balance, creating a beverage that tastes bad. We tried the Girnar Masala Chai Premix to test it for its taste, blend of spices, and ease of use.
Here comes our piping hot Girnar Masala Chai Premix review. Read our quick review and #FirstImpression of this new interesting product by one of India’s most popular tea brands.

The tea made using the Girnar masala chai instant tea premix was extremely easy to make and all you need is water. You don’t need to brew it or steep it. Just add water, mix and it’s ready!
Aroma, color, and consistency – The dominant aroma is of cardamom which is very pleasing. The color is exactly like our homemade tea, not too dark nor too milky. Unlike tea from vending machines in offices or restaurants, this was not watered down. The ‘creaminess’ and thickness was exactly what you get from a regular ghar wali chai.
Taste – When we read that there are cloves and nutmeg in a chai masala, we feel that it borders on tasting like a garam masala than a chai masala. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case here. The tea made using the Girnar Masala Chai Premix was absolutely delicious and aromatic. The masala chai is very warming and the clove-cardamom flavor is more dominant than the rest of the spices. The sweetness might be a bit on the higher side for some but is really tasty overall.
When we think of premixes, we think of convenience. The Girnar Masala Chai Premix is quite convenient and can be a great alternative for those tea bags-dairy whitener-sugar containers in the office. That being said, it might be a temporary solution as it is not as cost-effective when used over a very long period of time. A single sachet costs Rs 13/-. For people who drink tea occasionally, this will work well. This is also a great option for traveling. Just a few sachets and your chai cravings can be satisfied anywhere around the world. All you need is hot water and these handy sachets. You can buy the Girnar masala chai online as well.
A good chai masala can be hard to find. We tried and tested 10 brands of easily available chai masalas over numerous cups of tea over a week. Here are our winners!
