Rooibos Chai

This was my first taste of rooibos tea after I asked the barista what Teavana had in the way of decaf flavors. Done the traditional way (milk and sugar), it comes to mind of what (I have built up in my mind) I think coffee should taste like, considering the way it smells. I love the spices, but it gets a few points off for being a very mild blend (vanilla), instead of a spicy one (pepper). Nostalgic favorite.

Interesting combination. The rooibos is prominent, and the chai taste adds an interesting background to the tea!

This was my first taste of Roibos, bought it mixed with Matevana. I was surprised at how strong the flavors are. This will be a nice change from my black teas.

soo good

SO GOOD. I usually like my tea caffeinated, but I love how this chai tastes so I make an exception for it.

Teavana guy recommended this with the Rooibos Hazelnut Dolce (equal parts) and milk. I sweeten it just a bit and have it instead of regular chai when I don’t want the caffeine. It’s kind of my dessert treat when I want a change from pure tea.

This is a perfect early afternoon pick-me-up. I usually add a bit of candied ginger.

Probably the first loose tea I tried, and definitely the first from Teavana. So far its the best chai I’ve had and it serves as the baseline for comparing all others.

The cinnamon in this tea wakes you up! One of my favorite morning teas. This is what I use to persuade die hard coffee drinkers that tea can be just as energizing! Doesn’t even need anything added to it, the spices do everything for you.

Great calm-down tea. Or sick tea, becaue anything makes a nice sick tea..I think.. (Hot water+ variant herbs) + throat = instant healing? Looks good to me.

But back to the tea. Like most chais, I think this would be great with sweetener and maybe some milk (or vanilla soy milk for a real treat of treats). However, it’s great plain, which is how I am drinking it.

One of my very favorite teas.

this is a great tea. it is smooth and would be a great drink with milk

I am a big fan of rooibos, and certainly chai; this one isn’t too bad a blend. Easy and smooth going down, I believe the rooibos helps take the sting out of the chai’s spices. This might be good for people looking for a less-intense chai flavor.
