Underwhelming
Seriously disappointed in this flavor...well it lacked flavor. I love red bush tea I have the Chai flavor from a tea bag another company and it was sodelicious. I was expecting this to be far better :(
Our organic, Fair Trade Certified Masala Chai Rooibos loose leaf blend offers soothing herbal qualities combined with the "zip" of masala chai spices (including cardamom, ginger, cinnamon) and the creamy richness of vanilla. Rooibos (pronounced ROY-bus), grown in South Africa, is known to be one of the more relaxing beverages one can brew. The needle shaped leaves of the rooibos bush, (Aspalathus linearis) produce a caffeine-free drink that is noted by nutritionists and health consultants the world over for its soothing character. In contrast, masala chai renders an overtly spicy brew. Interestingly, the mixture of these two distinct characteristics gives this chai a lovely sense of balance. For the real chai experience, combine a concentrated infusion of our Masala Chai Rooibos blend with warmed milk and honey!
Ingredients: organic and Fair Trade Certified South African rooibos, organic cinnamon, organic ginger root, organic cardamom, and organic vanilla flavor
Our delicious flavored teas use the same top-quality organic tea that we offer in our unflavored varieties, but are blended with pieces of real fruit, spices, flowers, and 100% natural flavors. When blending our teas, our goal is to create a cup that balances the taste of the tea with the flavors of the additional ingredients so that neither one overpowers. All of the natural flavors we use are either extracts taken directly from the botanical ingredient, or extracted using 100% GMO-free grain alcohol as a solvent. You can rest assured that none of the flavors used in our blends are synthetically or artificially derived, and do not use artificial preservatives.
At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend herbal and rooibos teas to be steeped for 5 to 7 minutes in water heated to a full rolling boil. For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible, and avoid overboiling. If you want a stronger brew, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!

"I love the spices in chai, but I always crave it at night. I love making this as a night cap!"
"One of my favs to end the day with. This is a softened version of the Masala Chai Black Tea. I love to steep it and drink it without any add ins... it's so flavorful, yet it doesn't need all the milk and honey!"
"My favorite way to make this is a Masala Chai Latte! I like whole milk and honey stirred in, so yummy!"

I just brewed my first cup and wow I must say I’m impressed. I usually use a lot of sugar and milk in my chai but not with this. So much yummy flavor that nothing else is needed. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
This is my second or third order of masala chai rooibos, and I keep coming back to it especially in fall and winter. The rooibos is a wonderful earthy undernote and the masala chai spices are just right, not too peppery like some. I prefer the rooibos base to the more traditional black tea base. I drink this plain and am able to get two steeps out of the tea when using a French press.
I have had black tea and this version, and I like both. But hands down this is the best I have had. This has initiated my love for masala chai tea.
I LOVE this in the afternoon with a splash of coconut milk and a drizzle of honey. Such a satisfying treat!
