Congrats! You made it to number 10 on the list. As per tradition, we’re going to end the list with I Try Chai’s favorite chai of this year. The Chai of the Year Award has been highly anticipated, and for good reason.
I am excited to announce that the 2021 Chai of the Year goes to Tipu’s Chai Now Sweetened Masala Chai.
This chai is * packed * with flavor! It really does live up to the sweet, bold and spicy taste that was promised. There is definitely a spice I’m picking up on that really kicks the whole thing up a notch.
I wrote an entire in-depth review on it, so be sure to check that out if you haven’t read it yet by clicking here.
I also did an exclusive interview with them on their values, what makes them better than other chais out there, and the history of their brand which you can read here.
This is the perfect bold and spicy chai for the on the go chai lover, as it’s already sweetened, you don’t even need to strain it! Simply add in your water and milk, stir and sip!
If you’d like to try it out, it’s included in the You Try Chai Sampler Gift Set .
And that's the top 10 things for chai lovers (2021 edition).
