Does anyone have any thoughts about the differences between concentrates and powder? Which is better?

Also, does the powdered mix actually mix up easily?

The chai concentrates can be much better than the powdered mixes, because THE VERY BEST concentrates have been BREWED, and most powdered mixes are just the ingredients that you may mix. For example, which is better, coffee that you brew, or just stir up from a "mix"?

Also, if the producer cares about their product enough to brew it freshly, rather than just add chemical essences to a cheap mix, they are also more likely to also care about the quality of those fresh ingrredients -- are they 100% organic?, etc. For example, when I drink 3rd St. Chai, I know it was freshly brewed and it just resonates with me as I swallow it.
