The Quick Sip
Rooibos translates as ‘Red Bush' from Afrikaans and has long been drunk in South Africa. It is a fine herbal for those seeking a naturally caffeine free alternative with a high level of antioxidants. Chai is the name for tea, any type of tea, but here we've applied to high grade Rooibos similar warm spices used in our Bombay Chai for an altogether flavourful ‘Cape Town meets Bombay' version. Blended with aromatic ginger, cinnamon and a pleasantly original combination of Bourbon vanilla and lemon grass.
Tea Tales
The spices used in Indian Masala tea, or Rooibos in this case, are from no fixed recipe for each Indian household has its own variation, drinkers generally favouring ‘the way mother makes it'. Commonly, ‘warm' spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, peppercorn, and cloves are ground together, with diced fresh ginger thrown into the mix.
