Big Train Spiced Chai Tea Latte Beverage Mix, 3.5 Pound (Pack of 1)

If you’re an East Coast Sheetz fan, you probably felt personally attacked when they got rid of the frozen Kona Mocha. Well, guess what? This is it. Identical taste, no road trip required. Honestly, I wish I had discovered this sooner—it’s ridiculously low-cost per serving, which means I can now feed my addiction without breaking the bank.It’s perfect for lazy days when I just want iced coffee, but the real magic happens when I bust out the blender for that frozen, creamy goodness. The measurements are spot-on, so there’s zero guesswork—just pure mocha joy every time.The only downside? The smaller bags are always sold out, probably because everyone else figured this out before I did. If you’ve been mourning the loss of Sheetz’s Kona Mocha, consider this your official sign to stock up. You’ll thank me later!

Pumpkin spice iced drink mix was the bomb. It was great, very flavorful and smelt amazing. It mixed well and was very easy to make. The quality was very good: a fine blend and it didn't take much to make great drinks. I'm very happy with my purchase. Def recommend

It's a nice drink mix, it has a nice light cocoa flavor with a hint of spice. You add more or less mix to get the taste that works for you. I use 4 level spoons myself in hot water. Great for helping warm up on chilly days. I drink it year round but more on cooler days. It's not coffee and it's not tea tea, it's its on thing. I was introduced to it by a friend about 5 years ago and I'm glad they did. I enjoy it, obviously.

I've never been much of a coffee drinker but I would occasionally purchase a frozen frappucino from various places (Starbucks, McDonalds, etc). Then one day I had a frozen Kona Mocha at Sheetz and I was instantly hooked. It had such a distinct, unique flavor that was unlike any of the others out there and I couldn't get enough. The only problem was the price. If you buy one at Sheetz, you'll end up spending over $4 for one (and theirs are small compared to other places). When I went online looking for a recipe on how to make one at home, to save a little money, I stumbled upon this stuff from Big Train. I decided to give it a try because all the ingredients matched up to Sheetz's online ingredients list. Well, let me tell you, they match up for a reason - it's EXACTLY the same. I couldn't believe it. I knew it was the second I opened it because it smelled the same. All you do is blend the powder, ice (I add just a little more than the bag says to, to make it slightly thicker) and milk (I always got almond milk at Sheetz, so that's what I use at home) and it's done. It's fine just the way that is, but because I've been adding caramel every time I buy one at Sheetz, I also add a tablespoon and a half of caramel sauce, too (just the cheap Hershey's kind). The ones at Sheetz also come with whipped cream on top and chocolate drizzle, but that was never that important to me. The bag will make approximately 20 of the Sheetz-sized drinks, so by buying this powder from Big Train, you can easily make frozen Kona Mochas at home for AT LEAST half the price, if not less. Though, to be honest, even though I initially hoped this would help me save money by not having to buy them at Sheetz once or twice a week anymore, I have a feeling, with them being SO good, tasting exactly the same and being so easy to make, I think I might end up spending the same every week anyway, but just having them a lot more frequently now that I found this product from Big Train. I highly recommend it. It's fantastic!EDIT: I've downgraded my rating by one star, not because of the product but because of its packaging/handling. I subscribed to get monthly shipments and my first shipment (the second bag I've ordered) arrived with a nick about an inch long in the bag, causing it to leak powder in the box. Because it's something edible, I didn't take any chances and decided not to use it and got a replacement. It's supposed to arrive in a couple days. I noticed a couple other people have experienced the same issue. I hope this was just a one time thing and I won't experience it again. I'll post again about its condition when my replacement comes. To be continued...UPDATE: My third bag (replacement for second that was damaged) arrived and it was fine. There WAS a small opening in the bottom seam of the bag (probably less than a quarter of an inch), but it was very small (a tiny bit of powder came out only after I lifted it up; there wasn't any in the box itself) and it appeared to just be a natural opening, from the weight/pressure of the powder. When I opened the bag all the way along that same side, the seam appeared to have been sealed all the way across (the grooves were all the way across on both sides), it just naturally opened slightly. The bags are filled with a lot of powder (3.5 pounds is a lot heavier than you'd think) and it must have just caused the seal to break during packing or shipment (or even when I lifted the bag up?). I've been enjoying it since it arrived and it tastes fine (and hasn't made me sick or any thing). I still feel like I need to examine each bag that arrives, but hopefully the bad experiences in the future (if any) will outweigh the good ones. I still highly recommend this product. It's fantastic. I also recommend dividing the powder up when you get it and put each portion in baggies to make it easier when getting ready to blend one up.UPDATE #2: My second monthly shipment arrived today in perfect condition - no holes, tears, cuts or openings.UPDATE #3: I ran out of my second monthly bag before my third (I'm getting another family member hooked on this delicious stuff) so I ordered an extra one. It came in perfect condition - no holes, tears, cuts or openings. I'll update again when my third monthly shipment arrives in a couple weeks.UPDATE #4: My third monthly shipment arrived today in perfect condition - no holes, tears, cuts or openings.UPDATE #5: My fourth monthly shipment arrived today. It was the first time it was shipped in a bubble envelope as opposed to a box, which made me really nervous. LUCKILY, I opened it and the bag was in perfect condition - no holes, tears, cuts or openings, but if they are going to be sending them like this from now on, I'm more concerned than before that something might happen. Hopefully nothing will. Also, if you're unsure whether your bag has an opening anywhere in it or not, believe me, you'll know the second you open the box or envelope, not because you'll necessarily see some of the powder in the box or a noticeable hole in the bag but because the Kona Mocha has such a strong, distinctive smell, you'll smell it right away. So, use your nose as a test, too. If you don't smell anything, it's probably sealed and safe.UPDATE #6: My fifth monthly shipment arrived today in perfect condition - no holes, tears, cuts or openings. This one arrived in a box with bubble wrap for protection (much better than the bubble envelope they used previously). Also, I had ordered an extra bag a little over two weeks ago and it arrived (even with a couple other things in the box) in perfect condition as well. Since I haven't had any issues in a while, I've been happy with my purchases every time since those minor issues happened, and I don't want this review to reach some length limit, I will leave this as it is and only update it from now on when or if an issue ever arises again. Thanks for taking the time to read this review and I hope it helped you decide to purchase some of this great Kona Mocha coffee drink mix. I still highly recommend it.

I’ve never had authentic chai but this is delicious. Great to drink warm or cold and I just use water for mine as I’m lactose intolerant and think milk makes it too thick. Good quality, great size for many drinks and easy to make whichever way you chose. Smells delicious as well.

With how prices are right now, I can’t afford to spend 8 dollars every other day on a Starbucks chai with extra caramel drizzle. So I bought this so I could just make it at home. The price is a bit high, but for the amount you get it can still last you for a long while depending on how often you drink the stuff! The taste is delicious on its own and with the added syrups I put in it, it tastes better than the drinks I get from Starbucks! You only really need one scoopI bought this in January and I still have more than enough even though it’s been a couple of months! Granted I only drink this a couple times a week, but it still surprises me how long this can keep you going! Will definitely order again along with other flavors they have

This is the best tasting chai. You can easily make delicious chai drinks at home for the fraction of the cost! There is a lot of sugar in in, but it's perfect for an occasional pick me up! This will last you a while, so it's a great value!

The Spiced Chai is amazing, but there is so much sugar. Using the recommended amount has an amazing flavor but by the end of the cup my stomach hurts from all the sugar. If I use less of the mix, the flavor isn't strong enough and the drink tastes watered down.I would love to see a low-sugar versionEDIT: I ordered the "No Sugar Added" Vanilla Chai and it clumps like dollar store hot chocolate mix. No idea why it's so bad with clumping as the "normal" chai I purchased before had no clumping at all. I have to stir it with a fork for a solid 60+ seconds to get the chunks to mostly break up. Dropping review to 3 stars because Amazon won't let me review these products separately.
