Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
Rich red rooibos, along with sweet cinnamon and aromatic cardamom, impart a familiar taste to this caffeine-free chai blend. Enlivening star anise mixes with assertive ginger, floral and pungent black pepper and the roasted coffee-like character of chicory to produce a truly original anytime chai. With its dark red infusion, West Cape Chai is the perfect base for lattes and innovative café drinks.
