Overview
Red Bush Chai Tea combines smooth South African rooibos with cardamom, cinnamon, peppercorn, citrus peel, ginger, star anise, and cloves.
The result is a fragrant and comforting infusion with gentle sweetness, warming spice, and a bright touch of citrus.
What Makes This Blend Special
Rooibos provides a naturally smooth and softly sweet foundation for the traditional chai inspired spices.
Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, peppercorn, star anise, and cloves create warmth and aromatic depth, while citrus peel adds a fresh and lively note.
Flavour and Aroma Profile
Aroma: Warm cinnamon, clove, cardamom, citrus, and aromatic spice.

Caffeine
This rooibos chai is naturally caffeine free.
It offers the warmth and aromatic character of chai without a black tea base, making it suitable for morning, afternoon, or evening enjoyment.
Brewing Method
Use 1 level teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 250 mL cup.
Pour freshly boiled water at approximately 100°C, or 212°F, over the tea. Steep for at least 5 minutes, then strain and serve.
For a stronger and more aromatic cup, steep for 6 to 7 minutes. Rooibos does not become as bitter as traditional black tea during a longer infusion.
Brewing tip: Cover the cup or teapot while steeping to help retain the aromatic spice notes.
Chai Latte Preparation
For a chai latte, use 2 teaspoons of tea with 125 mL of freshly boiled water. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes and strain.
Add approximately 125 mL of warmed milk or oat beverage. Sweeten with honey or another preferred sweetener if desired.
Preparation tip: Using a concentrated infusion allows the rooibos and spices to remain flavourful after milk is added.
How to Enjoy
Enjoy Red Bush Chai Tea as a warming evening infusion, a comforting drink during cold weather, or a naturally caffeine free alternative to traditional black tea chai.
It may be served on its own or paired with milk, oat beverage, or a small amount of honey.
