I know some people that prefer Tazo chai over Oregon. In my area they even sell it at Target stores, in regular or organic for a few dollars per quart I believe. It has a really good taste.

Why don't you make your own? The range if ingredients for the wide range of recipes all seem to be readily available. You could come up with a distinctive "your" Chai.
I have never made chai but it doesn't seem difficult and I'm guessing that scratch built chai would be like most other things...better than pre-made, in the bag!

Blech yeah..we use Oregon where I work, but I'm doing my best to change that. It seems really sweet to me, and kind of bland. At least, I like my chai with more of a tea flavor, and a little more black pepper too. Oregon's all honey and cinnamon. Let me know if you try making it yourself at all, I'd love to hear what works for you...maybe I'll just start making it myself and not worry about waiting for official approval:-)

A couple of years ago I was into drinking Chai Tea by STASH of Portland, Oregon. Ingredients included ginger, cardamon, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and, of course, black tea. I found this to be a very fragrant and tasty brew. Good luck.

You can always use chai tea bags, steep it in a cup with a bit of water and add some steamed/frothed milk into it (I'm assuming you have an espresso machine, but if you don't then forget what I just said). You'll also need to sweeten it with something like vanilla and/or cinnamon syrup.
