Coco Chai Rooibos

Tea #3 of 24. I didn’t know what to expect for my first Rooibos but I was happy that it tasted like the Chai that I hoped for. This was a nice evening warmup tea since it has no caffiene and the snow was blowing outside. I think it would be great to drink when stuck at home with a cold. Only downside I found was there wasn’t much left for a second brewing.

Got this tea in my advent calendar today and I brewed up a thermos full so I wouldn’t have to keep going to the kitchen for another cup.
I really love the way that the flavours in this tea work together; personally I’m a big fan of the way the coconut works here.

I don’t know if I care for this one fully… It’s good, it’s a nice chai flavour, but I expected it to be a bit stronger. I love the coconut added to it. I thought it was a nice touch.
I prefer black tea bases instead of rooibos for something like this. I find the black base makes it nice and… sturdy or something.
Still quite nice. I thought it was delicious. If it had some vanilla flavour it would be kinda nice too! Maybe some agave in a vanilla flavour would be nice.

This is a nice tea. I once forgot it and it got cold. It tasted almost better.
I am attracted to spicy tea rather than fruity so this tea works for me.

This came in a set of Davids best selling teas that was given to me for my birthday last year and I just got around to trying it. It’s one of the best chais I’ve tasted.

I am a big fan of black teas and their bold flavours, which is why I find nighttime a bit daunting. But this herbal tea does the trick!! It is super flavourful and offers that warming chai taste. I agree that the ginger is not very present, but the coconut is. The peppercorns offer a subtly spicy bite as an aftertaste. A spicy, sweet treat to warm you up, I find the cardamom very pleasing in this blend as well.

I got this tea in one of the two sampler packs so I decided I would try it Tonight
I haven’t tried a lot of chai teas so I was a little hesitant
Iv been looking around and it said this tea was good with milk so I added some heated milk to this (I actually spilt the milk all over the microwave :/ )
Back to the tea now
It was good. It had quite a bit of ginger in it so I didn’t like it very much
In all a nice tea but I probably would not buy it

This one is one of my all-time favorite from DAVIDs – I love rooibos, and this one is so spicy, fun and quriky! The red rooibos and coconut make it sweet, but the spices really jump out of the brew from the first sip until the last. Despite the strenght, there’s no unpleasant aftertaste. Amazing with vanilla cookies. ;)

One small negative note, though: sometimes the pepper comes out too strongly and tickles, overtakes the rest. If you’re not a fan of pepper, I would make sure there aren’t too many grains in each brew.

I’ve always had my Chai teas as a latte so I wouldn’t really have much of an opinion on whether if this is a good or bad straight Chai. I can note that it’s not as spicy as the ones I’m use to but it was probably the amount I steeped. Overall it’s decent to me and fills my chai latte cravings especially for night since it’s caffeine free. :D

I was at a lululemon where they were serving this exact tea for their shoppers. I fell in love with the aroma and the spicy-sweet infusion. I went straight to David’s tea to buy some! Its the best when I just want to enjoy and relax by treating my senses to the smell and taste :)

This is a very disappointing chai. My feelings of rooibos notwithstanding, everything is just very weak, there’s barely a spice kick, a chai flair, or even a silver lining of coconut.

Opening this tea, the smell intrigued me, as it didn’t give off a typical rooibos smell, which led me to believe this wouldn’t have that overpowering rooibos taste.

How wrong I was. And that was when everything fell apart, as the rooibos just overpowered the whole flavor of the blend. As well, the bland scent now makes sense, as this is just bland.

I would be curious to know how the chai spices would taste, had it not been a rooibos blend, and the coconut seems a subtle flavor as well.

But, when the whole damn brew is rooibos, you just can’t taste anything but.

Finished this one up today after being underwhelmed with Pure Chai. Still find that I’m not a huge fan of this one on it’s own, being too coconutty for me. I do love it in a latte with half this and half just about any other chai. It mellows it out to perfection and puts a smile on my face that way!

This tea has a rather intriguing flavour. It doesn’t seem quite like a traditional chai (which makes some sense — it has coconut and peppercorns, and is missing the traditional nutmeg). I didn’t find it quite as comforting as a traditional chai would be. Still, it was enjoyable — more enjoyable straight than a normal chai, though I prefer the other when mixed just right.

Delicious.

I brewed it with water the first time but it was meh. The second time, I heated just milk to almost boiling, then added this tea. That did the trick! The best tea that hits the spot for those “snack” cravings. Sweet, spicy, and frothy. A great balance.

Just a note though, it tastes better than it smells. A sniff will be too strong. Just have to have faith that the flavours meld more delicately after brewing.

This tea smells like gingerbread cake at Christmas, and tastes even better. Just missing the lemon sauce to drizzle over the top. The rooibos is as sweet as can be expected, but the mix of spice keeps it from going over the top. The coconut cuts down on the cinnamon, and the spices cut down on the sweetness of the coconut. It is a very well-balanced tea, perfect for the end of a long day before bed.

That baby hooked me up on Davids’ Tea. It’s the second tea I bought in Vancouver and I do not regret it! I took a 5k walk to get a refill for this one! My spicy-tooth is gone down so I kind of forgot about it. However, tea conserved in a can is good for 2 years. It’s just like the description renders it. It’s strong, spicy, but delicious. A Latte with this one is God on earth. For those who don’t like coconut, don’t buy it. The taste is quite something.

chai covers the rooibos taste and that is okay with me (although i’m not so unfond of rooibos as i used to be)

Part of a sampler provided by DAVIDs on my most recent order – and one I had no intention of trying but I am very glad they pushed me a free cup! In the past I have had some negative experience with Rooibos (granted it was lower quality), finding the taste displeasing and more akin to water used to wash macaroni noodles with a hint of something slightly fruity. Coco Chai Rooibos tastes absolutely nothing like I feared it would.

The dry leaf smell is one of the most pronounced I’ve ever come across, especially for a chai. The coconut and spice notes fill the head pleasingly, even the harsh bite of the peppercorn is welcome in such good company. Once brewed, I took a test sip and noted just how strong the spice profile was. The pink peppercorn stood up front, but the tea was clean enough where you could feel the other flavors swirling around it. The cinnamon coexists with the peppercorn very nicely and segue’s into the sweetness of the cloves and ginger. As the sip completed, a nice refreshing coconut trailed off.

As with other chais, I added milk to the brew to see how it would affect it. The spices hold up better than some other Chais I’ve had but the Coconut is what really stands out when milk is added. It’s delightfully exotic and another excellent chai from DAVIDs. Best of all, it’s caffeine free so you can enjoy it closer to bedtime and not have to worry about being up all night!

Really spicy. Hint of pepper.
Smell amazing.
It’s warming, like for when you are really cold and need some heat.
Not fruity at all, which I like from time to time.

Loves it with bit of sugar and milk. This I my favorite chai from David’s tea. Even when I am not in the mood I make a cup and think: this is so good. A great chai option to drink at night when you want something cafeine-free.
