So, I think Rooibus makes the best chai tea base. This is just an opinion, but it tastes like tea, can be steeped indefinitely without getting bitter and holds up a wide variety of flavors. Now, if you want GOOD chai, you should make it yourself (tutorial coming soon-ish), but there's nothing wrong with having a few sachets for a quick chai once in a while.
Outsides: The sachets are all individually foil-wrapped for freshness and you can smell that freshness the moment you open it. It's a lovely rust color and smells like cardamon, cinnamon and hints of vanilla.
Insides: You know, the vanilla really makes it for me. This isn't the strongest chai and quite frankly, you should make your own, but for a "quick" chai, it hits the spot. As stated in the intro, rooibus provides a nice base free of bitterness so the sweet spices and vanilla really shine through. The predominant flavors are cardamon, cinnamon and vanilla,with some ginger, clove and a bit of spice from the black pepper. There's also a hint of stevia in here but it works well bringing out the sweet flavor. The vanilla really makes this creamy and delicious.
Overall: For cheap organic chai, it's pretty good. Super strong chai purists may not like it, but it's worth a try.
My Rating: Try it! Here's the website.
