Chocolate Chai Rooibos Tea

Adds a nice orange flavor. I often blend it with a basic black tea

Not a big tea drinker, just started, LOVE this stuff!

I am a huge tea drinker, and I LOVE this tea, and reorder often. The flavor is fresh and quality. The ingredients are quality, and that is rare these days. 10000% worth the purchase if you love tea.

I like everything about this tea, from scent to flavor. Knowing it enhances my immunity without caffeine is priceless. I drink it hot and cold. Sometimes I put milk in it (A2 milk, I'm choosy) and sometimes I put lemon in it. I like sweet tea so I use a packet of Earth Balance, that's a blend of stevia and monkfruit. I'm glad its loose tea because its so much fresher and wait until I get a rolling boil of water on the kettle. I love both the Fireside Vanilla Rooibus and Green Rooibus. Both are organic, another plus.

I was born and raised in South Africa. Before she married and had children, my mother was a teacher and before WW II she taught at farm schools in the Clanwilliam area of the Western Cape. This is where she discovered and acquired a taste for Rooibos tea (also referred to as Bush Tea and in the Cape Town area as "Bossies"). In my first year of school (1950's in an area called the Eastern Cape) my teacher was born and raised on a farm in the Western Cape. My mother obviously shared her teaching experiences in that area and must have made a big impression on my teacher. After the first school vacation, when we were all back at school, my teacher gave me a large brown paper bag to give to my mother. Apparently her family produced Rooibos on the farm and the bag contained raw, unprocessed, and, what to me, looked like smail twigs. My mother was over the moon to get the "real stuff" that she remembered, as the tea was not yet easily available commercially.I tell you all this so you understand that when I look for Rooibos tea, I want a product that takes me back to what I grew up with in my childhood. I have noticed that a lot of "Red Tea" sold in the USA is more like a boutique blend, cut with other ingredients, which does not impart the full unadulterated smell and flavour of Rooibos tea. This tea from Amazon does. I was delighted when I opened the package, and there was the familiar look and fragrance I remember. After brewing a couple of teaspoons, and smelling and tasting the tea, I can only say that to me this is the real stuff. If anything has been cut into it I cannot see it visually, nor can I smell or taste it.Of possible further interest, at business meetings in Cape Town, when tea is served, there are usually two pots, one of historical "tea", and the other of "Bossies". It has a large following in the Western Cape and I can only recommend it to those who have not yet tried it, or developed a taste for it. Also, most people I have known who drink it, do not add milk, and drink it black (or red, rather), and infrequently, the only additive might be a touch of sugar.

tea is real good

I love loose tea leaves. The flavor of these tea leaves is very good. If you like Chai, give this a try!

There are a bunch of other ingredients, it NOT 100% rubio tea…. wont buy again!
