Reviews for Monin 1 Liter Chai Tea 7:1 Concentrate

I purchased this and the peppermint syrup in hopes of running a few holiday drink specials at our cafe but unfortunately, the gingerbread syrup had a weird taste (another review referred to it as chemical like and I agree). Monin products are usually delicious so I'll continue buying other flavors but won't repurchase this one.

They were delivered horribly shattered glass pieces. I was so scared that I took out a few of the tops and stopped taking them out because there were pieces of glass in my hands. I couldn't get a refund because I didn't know the flavor and threw it all along with the ones below. I learned this time that it is correct to throw away all the boxes containing pieces of glass, but I wasted my time with a messy customer service.

Ok, I'm not gonna sugar-coat it (this stuff's disgustingly sweet enough), this flavor's a train-wreck: Having just had cookie-butter for the first time right before I ordered this, I was excited to get that flavor in my lattes.. I try to find redeeming qualities in these flavored syrups since they can't always quite hit the mark, and can be understanding when something just doesn't taste quite as expected, but I can't lie to you: this flavor is BAD. At it's best it's vaguely short-bready and at it's worst it's completely overshadowed by them going overkill on what tastes like cinnamon that's painfully artificial; In short, this tastes as far away as it can from cookie-butter as it can without being a fruit-flavor. Now maybe I got unlucky a "bad-batch", maybe my expectations were too high for this one and the disappointment hurt, but I can't even think recommend this unless you're a fan of "bready, watered-down fireball whisky (without the heat) that's been drowned in sugar." Don't disregard Monin for this bad flavor, they're usually great, just don't buy this particular one.

The best rose syrup ever. If you like roses, you will like this one. It is mild, and will give your drinks and desserts an exotic floral flavor. I like to add a dash while making smoothies: you need very little, maybe 1 tablespoon for two glasses. This syrup also works well with strawberries and cream. Just lovely.

This white chocolate syrup is what we were looking for. It gives you the sweet white chocolate flavor with a thin enough texture to blend well with coffee beverages.

Label claims Ube with "Notes of Fig, Vanilla, and Cinnamon" but that's all we're picking up. Heavy fake sugary fig taste with an aftertaste resembling grape Koolade. There's no detectable Ube flavor at all. Does not compare to the Ube flavoring we've used before, which is a lot more difficult to use but has a desirable flavor. Also Monin glass bottles don't work with the small pumps compatible with Monin's plastic (and everyone else's glass) containers.

This isn’t the flavor of fall lol stick to Torani

We've loved using this Maple Spice syrup for one of our fall latte specials. It's a little bit light (we use a tad more than some other syrups) but gives a really nice touch of maple flavor without being overpowering. We add a few dashes of cinnamon to each cup before pouring the latte which takes it up a notch, and has been a very popular drink! We'll definitely use it again next year!

This flavor is a hit with people looking for flavors that are out of the ordinary, it's delicious paired with peach or cantaloupe too. Works great as a soda or milk tea, the dairy cuts down the acidity.

This tastes SO bad! The color looked promising after mixing it with milk. After only a few sips, it was impossible to drink any more. It tastes fake and synthetic. It has a chemical after taste. This is not real chai. Don't serve your customers this!

I really like this energy syrup. I use it on my food truck for our iced coffees, Italian sodas, smoothies, & frappes. It doesn't have an overpowering flavor, which is huge, & I also like that it has "natural" energy, & that it doesn't have a crazy amount of caffeine. I'd totally recommend.

The Monin brand premium elderflower flavoring syrup is delicious! It's perfect for flavoring mocktails when you don't want to use an alcoholic elderflower liqueur. Also makes a delicious lemonade and coffee drinks too. Highly recommend. The flavor is great and it's not too floral or soapy at all. You don't need a lot to make it taste great. Will buy again!

This might be my favorite Fall flavored syrup. We have used it in espresso drinks and to make flavored whipped cream. It is sweet with a little spice.

First time trying this flavor and it is delicious! The flavor is very true to its name and represents the Monin brand well. We have used it in our hot coffee beverages and our cold brew coffees.

One of the standout features of Monin Premium Lavender Flavoring Syrup is its authentic and natural lavender taste. Many users appreciate that the syrup captures the essence of lavender without being overpowering or artificial. It adds a delicate floral note to various beverages and culinary creations.

The monin mandarin orange syrup is so Devine, very good mandarin flavor I wasn’t sure what the taste was gonna be but exactly like the mandarin orange ?? my mom always loved, good purchase and will definitely buy more

By choosing a Monin syrup, you know the quality will not disappoint and this is true of the cherry syrup. The flavor is not overpowering when added to our drinks. A great choice for a low price.

There's something a little off-putting about the nuttiness of this syrup that I don't like. I love brown butter and I love toffee, but it's missing the mark for me somewhere along the way.

This is so rosey. Seriously. It's so unique. I've used it on shaved ice by itself and thinned down. I've also used it on chocolate shaved ice and it was so good and different.

If u make think that Starbucks is making a killing on Frozen, Coffee based drinks, then take a grande step, push the appropriate buttons and buy this, it's a Barista in a Bottle !

This pumpkin spice is OKAY. It doesn't taste like pumpkin at all and many of my students said it tastes like medicine. I was putting two small pumps into a 12 ounce cup (half of what it calls for). I am giving it a two star because if you add a pumpkin creamer and only one small pump of this, the drink is amazing. If you want to spice up your current drink, this is for you... if you are looking for a true pumpkin pie type flavor- this is not it.

I ordered this product out of frustration the first time. I used to be one of those people who stopped at the gourmet coffee shop every morning and dropped about $7 a day on a coffee. After the third day in a row of receiving an awful iced coffee and wasting money, I ordered the Monin True Brewed Espresso Concentrate. The flavor is SO much better than what I was drinking, the convenience of having it on hand is outstanding, and the options I have of mixing it with the Monin flavored syrups is just too good to be true (but it IS true!). So happy with this product!

I tried Monin, Torani and Dolce brands. Monin came in a distant second. It is not as strong or flavorful as Torani Brown Sugar Cinnamon

Noticed a big difference in taste switching over to Monin brand! The raspberry in particular, while it is sweet, does taste like fruit. It's improved our lemonade and latte recipes that are made to order with this coffee syrup. Would definitely recommend.

Wow this elderflower syrup is delicious it was a very good price for the 750 mL bottle to a lot of people don't even know what it is great product though

Having tasted the pumpkin spice syrups a lot, was excited to try the pumpkin pie syrup but the syrup was a little too sludgy and particulates settled down with the constant need for shaking the syrup bottles. This becomes a hazzle when you have it on a line.

This syrup is pretty good, but like other Monin fruit syrups, a bit thinner than I had expected. I bought this syrup to use in italian sodas, and I have found that raspberry with french vanilla added is divine. I have also added this syrup to southern-style sweet tea in place of some of the sugar, and it is great.

The Monin Toasted Almond Mocha is AMAZING! The flavor is so rich and the taste is great. It mixes great in our lattes and frappes.

Monin syrups are the best! So glad I was able to find this venue to purchase them through! Great flavor and price. Saving money making our own favorite coffees at home is fantastic, and they actually taste better! There are so many flavors to choose from.

I love this Monin syrup! I purchased it to use for mimosas for my bridal shower, but we continue to use it for everyday things like lemonade or pancakes or cocktails!

French Vanilla is my absolute favorite. It’s a richer vanilla flavor reminiscent of French Vanilla ice cream. This is a flavor I always have on hand - I like the large bottle as I go through it so quickly.

This Monin Sugar-Free Strawberry Syrup is fantastic! It has a rich, authentic strawberry flavor without the extra sugar, making it perfect for my drinks and desserts. The 750 mL bottle is a great size, and it mixes well in both hot and cold beverages. Definitely a must-have for anyone looking to add a sweet touch without the sugar!

This flavor pairs really well with fruity flavors. Blackberry hibiscus is a winning combo for us with lemonades and frappés. It’s a lesser known floral flavor and adds a unique menu offering. Highly recommend.

This is a great floavor option for out flavored lemonade stand!

I accidentally bought a bunch bottles and I can’t use them. It doesn’t test like chocolate at all

Bought this product for our seasonal drink menu and the flavor is not great. It's very chemically tasting, even when it's a minimal amount added. I've tried cutting it and it just is a real rough flavor.

I'm not a pumpkin fan, but the majority of our customers are! We get so many compliments on the taste of this syrup.

The first fall season we had this, no one really picked up on it. The second year it seemed like everyone was getting it! Still very popular, although once we got a good pumpkin it had competition. Really great, balanced flavor, warm feel to it and compliments coffee flavor so very well. Easy one to recommend to people.

Every time I order Monin products, one comes broken and open, the packaging is terrible, the same with all Monin products, change the person who packs this product.

This is just nasty. Can't use any other word to describe. Monin is usually an OK brand to use, but this was just gross. Made a couple caramel apple lattes with it, and every person didn't drink them. I had to make new drinks without this apple.
