From Zhena's Gypsy Tea

Naturally caffeine-free Roobios from the Cedarberg mountains for South Africa which recent studies found to be high in antioxidants, is married with the stimulating spice of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. The luscious zest of Valencia orange adds a tart-sweet note of fruit to this savory health inducing cup. Wonderful with a splash of milk.

Ingredients: All organic, fair trade certified South African Rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom pods, whole cloves, Valencia orange peels, nutmeg, & black pepper.

I really enjoy this tea. I love that it’s naturally decaf, and with the splendid rooibos color. I enjoy it both with and without milk depending on my mood. It is extremely fragrant, but the taste itself isn’t overwhelming.

I believe I may have found my favourite chai. I love how wonderfully sweet, flavourful, and spicy it is. I could not taste rooibos, but I still enjoyed the blend a lot.

This is a mild chai with a nice balance of spices and a hint of orange. On its own, it works pretty well, but a single teabag isn’t really strong enough if you want to add milk. Personally I prefer the spices in my chai to be a little bolder than this. It’s definitely pleasant, though and has a pretty well-rounded flavor for a rooibos chai.

Probably one of the most amazing chai teas that I’ve ever had! The Zhena company story is inspiring and the customer service fantastic.

A nice chai tea, but I think I would like it much better as a milk tea, which I have never attempted making by myself. Merits further experimenting.

One of my favorites, it takes me back to one those winter days where you can curl back with your favorite book and cup of tea. The flavor is not overwhelming and perfect to relax with.

Great taste and scent. Nice Color. Very smooth for a Chai. If you are looking for a Chai that still has a spiciness to it but isn’t over the top and yet still has a strong pleasant flavor to get you thru your day…this would be it!
