Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos
Last Updated: Aug. 7, 2015
↑About Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos

Rooibos chai is a bit of a misnomer, as "chai" means tea whereas "masala", the word that is usually dropped, is the word that means "spiced". This style of tea is also sometimes called herbal chai, although that term is a broader category that also includes spiced herbal blends that do not contain rooibos.
Rooibos-based chai has become popular due to the fact that it is completely caffeine-free, and yet richer in flavor than most decaffeinated teas. It has become a bit of a style in and of itself, and can be appreciated as-is rather than as an imitation of masala chai.

Even though ginger is the second ingredient (behind rooibos), I only co...

The aroma of this tea is almost pure cinnamon. In theory this would make it a great tea in my opinion... I love chai and I love cinnamon. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn't really match the aroma. Yes, there's a cinnamon feel to it, but it's extremely subtle, resulting in a weakly spiced chai that doesn't live up to its...

Rooibos Vanilla Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: ?????Jan. 11th, 2018
Overall A very "meh" tea. It smelled quite nice but when a took a sip it was not what I expected(in a bad way). It had almost no vanilla taste and was almost a depressing masala chai.

Rooibos Chai (Formerly Ruby Chai) from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Rooibos Chai / Spiced Rooibos – Region: BlendDec. 19th, 2017
I don’t like chai teas as much normally but this one I do actually like, probably because it also has rooibos which is good! It smells strongly of nutmeg and I enjoy that. The flavor is really pleasant and reminds me of the holidays. I would definitely drink this again! The only reason I didn’t give this a higher s...
