Masala Chai spices in an herbal rooibos vanilla base. Beautiful clear and bright cup, and crisp, tangy-sweet flavor.

UPDATE 12/6/23: This is still one of my love caffeine-free chai favorites, the spices in this tea add a warm and cozy touch, while the vanilla flavor adds a smooth and creamy finish.
This is one of my favorite chai teas. It’s robust and full of flavor. If you are on the look for the full chai experience with no caffeine, look no more. You can enjoy this tea with no milk and it’s simple exceptional.
I'm not a red rooibos fan and that's what I tasted with this tea.
The vanilla in this one is too heavy and I find myself wanting a heartier spice blend.
In the spirit of adagio, I tried this tea. I’m just not a huge rooibos fan.
Nice light chai with enough vanilla to disguise the red rooibos. On its own, it's fairly sweet; and it's a great sweetener once added to other blends. This is one I grab when I want mellow and caffeine free.
The flavor of the roobios tea itself overpowered most of the other flavors.
A sweet and slightly spiced chai, the rooibos base worked well for me. Delicious and smooth with no weird rooibos woodsy-ness. A great decaf option!
For me rooibos teas often have an off-putting aftertaste, that wasn’t the case here. I found myself having consumed a whole cup without even thinking/realizing it was a rooibos. The vanilla was subtle but present, the chai spices were well-balanced (no one spice seemed to overpower, it was nicely blended).
I don’t generally like Rooibos but it seems when it’s paired with vanilla it always works for me; this was really smooth and tasty. It needed sweetener for me to bring out the flavor.
For a person that isn’t a HUGE Chai Tea person, I actually really enjoyed this one! It smelled amazing and had a less intense flavor than other Chai’s I have sampled!
Due to the rooibos, I find I don't enjoy this solo as much as I enjoy it in blends. However, for a red rooibos based tea, its decent.
Nice cinnamon spice aroma from the packet, only one clove! 10 min @ 212. There's a slight sweetness at first, then the spice comes out to play. I think the rooibos, spices, and vanilla are a good blend. Very tasty, no additions.
It's ok. I LOVE chai tea, but this one will not be my main go to. It's probably because of the rooibos. I don't think I am a fan of rooibos tea. There's a few blends that I like, but after I finish this sample, I don't think I'll get more.
I really enjoyed this tea, both as is and after adding a splash of vanilla creamer to it. The ginger stood out to me in this blend, and adding vanilla creamer to create a latte made it taste like an entirely different tea. I'd order more of this tea to enjoy in the evenings.
I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. I was a little concerned while it was steeping because it didn’t have the same dark caramel color I’m used to from other Chai blends, so I worried it would lack flavor or taste weak. I was pleasantly surprised by a rich, warm, creamy flavor that lacked the intensity of some other Chais, but wasn’t missing anything in terms of flavor. I’m planning to mix it with the Chocolate Chai next!
Really solid tea will definitely buy again. Really solid tea will definitely buy again. Really solid tea will definitely buy again.
Just the right balance between sweet and spicy. Perhaps not my favorite vanilla chai blend, but superior in terms of its spice palette. The Rooibos also pairs excellently with a chai blend of this variety.
This tea is delicious! I love the flavors with chai spices, but often don't want the caffeine. Great for when you want a cup of spiced tea at night. This tea also got much tastier as it cooled, as the orange and vanilla flavors became much more prominent over time.
I think this blend is heavier on the chai spices, but it is still a great option.
Great tea! A great tea for breakfast, great with or without milk and with or without sugar. Would reccomend!
I mostly taste rooibos here. The spices aren't strong enough to call this chai.
Not as Vanilla as I hoped but still a lovely cuppa. I added a splash of milk and a touch of maple syrup. I brewed longer than suggested here- I like my rooibos steeped longer
Roobibos Vanilla Chai has become a favorite of mine. I love to have this cozy tea before bed and enjoyed adding a bit of milk. The spices are quite strong, which is wonderful, and not overpowering. I don't find that it needs any sweetener. It's wonderfully flavorful.
The best chai! I didn't even think I'd take to a rooibos chai, but I'm so glad that I got some. Great tea.
Very vanilla with a smooth aftertaste. A touch of honey and cream make it even better tasting! Smells delicious.
A hug in a cup is often overused for tea, but it really applies here. The rooibos and vanilla combine to make a slightly mellower and sweeter chai experience, but the warmth of the spices still comes through. Ideal with steamed milk on a fall day.
I am not a Rooibos fan but this one has enough other spices to mask it. I like having a variety of decaf choices to sip at night instead of snacking. This one fits the bill for a nighttime treat.
I like this tea, but I prefer the Masala Chai to this tea. Overall, I prefer black tea, so this may be why I didn't like this chai as much.
Lovely taste. The rooibos flavor comes out more strongly than the chai. I think it would be even better with some milk.
I really enjoy this chia. Perfect chia for an evening of relaxing. I do enjoy the decaf chia better, but I still drink this daily.
I love that I can make chai without the caffeine. Very tasty. I make it like a traditional chai boiling it in a pot with water, sugar and milk and it’s lovely
This is my wife's favorite uncaffeinated tea. Strong vanilla chai flavor, can steep for 10 minutes and it still tastes delicious.
Personally, chai blends tend to give me a bit of a headache, but a lady I know who adores chai blends loved this; I appreciated it too as well for the flavor. It was a warm, comforting, spiced blend with a smooth mouthfeel and no astringency, although the vanilla was a little weak. It was delicious with a little sugar, and a splash of milk. I would definitely go to this again if I wasn't prone to headaches, and I know the aforementioned lady drinks this frequently now!
This is one of my favorites. I drink it with Cinnamon Sugar and 2% milk. It is like dessert in a cup. It is great hot or cold.
Love the flavor of this tea! The vanilla is subtle and it has just the right amount of spice!
This smells *amazing* and then tastes fine, but not amazing. What is there in the flavor but seems to drop out in the actual brewing is a full-bodied sweetness. In the actual cup I do not taste vanilla at all. Strangely, the most forward flavor in the drinking for me is pepper. And not because it's very spicy (I like peppery chais) but because all the other flavors seem to fade away, leaving only the pepper. I'm a bit disappointed.
My favorite so far. I add a bit of cream and some honey and it's perfect, hot or cold! Just ordered more.
Gave this to my family as a gift. It was a huge hit!
The chai flavor was a little too pungent to my taste.
This is decaf and insanely good! I rate all my teas and this one is 5/5 stars. Incredibly delightful. It's chocolate and Vanilla and leaves your palette with a the spice of chai!
This is my new favorite Chai of ever! For some reason I've often had an upset stomach after drinking Chai, so despite my love for it I've mostly avoided it for the last several years. This one though is exactly the flavor I've always looked for and after drinking several ounces of the loose leaf I've never had any of the mysterious associated tummy troubles.
Rooibos vanilla chai is a very creamy, mildly spiced chai. Very enjoyable overall. The vanilla notes are subtle under the high clove notes. It’s warming and delicious with milk. I steep mine for a long 10 minutes to bring out the creamy rooibos flavors.
A delicious way to settle down in the evening, pair with a good book or a good friend!
This tea is amazing! All of the different spices come together to make this a very warming cup. With 2tsp of rock sugar added, it becomes a sweet & spicy experience that my mother and I enjoy again and again. It's definitely our favorite.
Update: After ordering a 16oz bag (the one before was a 3oz), Mom and I have both noticed a difference in the flavor... It's almost like it has a hint of black pepper in it, which isn't the best as it masks the vanilla flavor and stings the throat a little. It's a little overwhelming. Not sure why this happened, even after I gave the bag a good shake.
I am already a chai lover, and this is definitely one of my favorites that I’ve ever tried. Made it as a latte and it was even better!
Wonderful. Smooth and rich, just what I want in a Chai, and if caffeine isn't necessary or wanted, I'll take this anytime. I don't know where this has been hiding my whole life. If rooibos isn't your line, this might not be for you, but I love it, and I think it pairs exceptionally well with the vanilla and chai spices. I actually think that the Adagio's vanilla is often overpowering or artificial-tasting, but the rooibos and chai spices here are strong enough on their own account that the vanilla blends well.
I liked how not overly cinnamony this was. I also enjoyed the vanilla element to this tea though I think I need more of that baker's vanilla quality to this (easy personal fix there). Overally, this blend is solid and I can see why it's a good blending tea too.
Love this blend. Flavors very well balanced. I will definitely order more!
I've been searching for the perfect Chai, and I think I've finally found it. Not too spicy and a little bit sweet from vanilla
This is a smooth, enjoyable tea. The vanilla flavor is not very pronounced, but it works in harmony with the rooibos. I enjoy sipping it before bed. Vanilla essence seems to calm me down for a good night's sleep.
