Blenders Notes Friends in Chai Places:

What is Chai?  Chai is tea with a personality upgrade. Instead of plain leaves in hot water, its black tea dressed up with milk, sweetener, and a spice squad—ginger for zing, cardamom for sweetness, cinnamon for warmth, and cloves for depth. Any many other add-ins to make each blend take on its own personality.  Basically, it’s tea that decided to throw a block party in your mug.  People love it because it is ~ Creamy and cozy, but with enough spice to wake up your senses ~ In many countries chai isn’t just a drink—it’s how people connect, gossip, and pause life for a moment ~ Many places have turned Chai into the “chai latte,” but at its core, it’s still the same spiced hug in a cup!!  What is Chai…In America – this specialized blend has become known as a “taste” of tea with predominantly cinnamon or cardamom notes and pairs well with dairy.   Cardamom is the most common ingredient, followed by some mixture of cinnamon, ginger, star anise and cloves. Pepper, coriander, nutmeg and fennel are also used, but they are slightly less common.

Our Red Rooibos is a great alternative to a standard tea because it has no caffeine.  Many customers often use this as a wonderful desert tea option with low to no calories. It has such a soft and creamy taste and can be sweetened, and it will aid in digestion.  This blend has the great rich taste of Red Rooibos with a bit of Vanilla.  We combined our best-selling Vanilla Rooibos with all the goodness of Chai!  We added a fun twist with a bit of Chocolate!  We added Cacao Nibs with the accompanying tastes of Cinamon, Cloves, Peppercorns and Nutmeg!  A fun alternative to your regular chai!  Taste it today!

Rooibos is a very unique type of tea…and it actually isn’t a part of the Camellia Sinensis plant at all.  Rooibos comes from a shrub Aspalathus linearis that  is a part of the legume family (e.g. peas, beans and peanuts) and grows to about four feet high and looks like a sagebrush. Since the 1700’s, Rooibos has been grown primarily from the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa’s Western Cape.  This tea will have slightly red color and will have a slightly sweet taste.

Most of the harvest for Rooibos is done during the Summer months.  The two types of Rooibos are Green and Red. The Green Rooibos is simply a plucked leaf that is dried and packaged.  This has a more mild taste and a beautiful green color. The most popular is Red Rooibos (its namesake) and is plucked, fermented and oxidized giving it its rich red color.  This version is a very creamy and sweeter taste. However, both versions of Rooibos have their own set of antioxidants and offer many health benefits.

Pu erh is also very forgiving when steeping, you can steep the leaves with boiling water for 10 minutes or several hours because it will not get bitter.  The flavor of Rooibos will get richer and creamier with longer steep times.
