From Rishi Tea

Rich red rooibos, along with sweet cinnamon and aromatic cardamom, impart a familiar taste to this caffeine free chai blend. Enlivening star anise mixes with assertive ginger, floral and pungent black pepper and the roasted coffee-like character of ramón nut to produce a truly original anytime chai. With its dark red infusion, West Cape Chai is the perfect base for lattes and innovative café drinks.

Decent Chai blend, not the best but average. I do like how this is a caffeine-free version.

Tried this in a local bookstore/coffee shop and was pleasantly surprised. I love rooibus, but had never had it with masala spices. Sweet, with not overwhelming spice. Was able to re-steep the DIY teabag 3 times with no loss of flavor.

Before I tried this Chai, I was pretty burned out on Chai in general. But this particular one sounded interesting so I ordered it from Rishi. I LOVE it. It is my new Autumn tea. I used a tablespoon per 8 oz water and once it steeped, I added Vanilla Almond Milk and Agave Nectar – will have to get back to you on exact amounts of the almond milk and agave when I make it again. But it is very nice. I like that it is caffeine-free. The flavor is robust, spicy, warming and ends on a light refreshing note (because of the peppermint in the Chai). I’m pretty excited to have found a Chai I like again. Will definitely be ordering more of this from Rishi.

Another phenomenal chai from Rishi. Spicy, sweet just plain delicious. Great for a night cap seeing as how it doesn’t have tea in it using Rooibos and Honeybush instead.
