Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Rooibos, the needle-like tisane originating from the Cederberg region of South Africa, is legendary not only as a centuries-old restorative, but for its black-tea-like body and silky, caramelized pecan sweetness. Its naturally low tannin content means its smooth and impossible to overbrew, making it a perfect foundation for the aromatic bouquet of our spice blend. Fresh ginger provides a fiery zest; black peppercorn and cardamom add a toasty savoriness; Saigon cinnamon and clove a robust sweetness. Together, our Red Chai lives up to its name in color and heat, brewed to warm and soothe to one’s content.
