Monster Chai Hai is possibly the tastiest of all the new monster non-energy drinks, and a first for Energy drinks – Chai tea. This is without any doubt the best tasting of all the Monster drinks. The problem with this drink seems to be accessability. While most stores carry the regular blue, green and orange, ad some might also their purple, yellow and BFC, most stores wont also carry all their coffee brands as well.

Very sweet and super creamy. The flavor is completely Chai, very strong and very aromatic. I could taste the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, peppercorns and fennel that make Chai such an amazing tea. I have loved chai for many years, and this is as good as any you could get in the box at your local natural grocers.

Sucralose is very heavy in this one. I did not mind the flavor, but could completely see how Chai enthusiasts would have a problem with it. The chai I am used to having is sweetend with honey, not lab chemicals.There is the usual Monster mix in here too, with 200mg of taurine, B vitamins and the usual energy drink mix(inositol, glucruonolactone, ginseng, etc…). There is 180 calories, 26 grams of sugar, 8 grams of protein and 3 grams of fat per can, and the completely expected 160mg of caffeine. I was hoping for more out of this can, because there could be so much more done than just using chai for flavor
Chai itself has many things that could have boosted this moster to monster proportions. Rather than their usual 80mg of caffeine per serving, they could use black tea for an extra caffeinated boost. Chai has been reported as help ing lower cholesterol and help Alzheimers, even boost immune systems and heal muscles faster. In this case, however, the Chai is for taste, not for nutrition.

My only real problem with this can, even though it is quite beautiful, is the lack of originality it SHOULD have for being the only chai drink I have come across. The Gold M and the faded leaves are nice, and the use of fonts is good too – but it should really be something more momentous than that.Therre is a lack of caffeine content and lack of weebsite info, and a pretty stupid paragraph about the kind of people who drink this chai. While certainly better than so many others, this could have been something special.
