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

Despite what others have said, my water infusions have always had a wonderful spicy accent to each sip. Skim milk sweetens the pot, but smooths the edges. The dry and steeping aromas are great, and my son is hooked. Husband isn't normally a chai drinker in retail shops like CBTL, but loves it freshly brewed at home.
5 minutes for aromatherapy and nutty finish tea. 7 for a full flavour brew. 10 in skim milk making multiple cups at a time.
There's a nice balance of sweetness from the rooibos and the spice from the chai. Lighter than other chais, of course, and serves a nice compliment in blends.
It's great just with water, but if you want something sweet some cream will make it amazing.
This tea manages to be sweet and spicy at the same time. I'm not usually a fan of rooibos, but this one is quite good and well worth trying.
Has a really good flavor. Distinct from other chais I have tried.
I really like this tea, but I think it would be better if there was a stronger vanilla smell/taste to it. I'm not sure how much the orange peels affect the taste of the tea or if I'm just grasping for straws, but I think it would be a lot stronger without those and with an increase in the vanilla flavor.
I got this for my wife, who loves her chai. I mix it with a bit of whole milk for a nice creamy flavor. It is relatively mild when compared to processed, packaged chai, but the flavor is there and is quite good.
My new favorite decaf tea! It's lovely straight or as a vanilla chai latte! Great for a nice warm drink before bed. It's got a nice balance of spices with no bitterness. This is my first rooibos and I'm incredibly pleased!
A new favorite. great way to start the day. smooth and satisfying
Best vanilla chai tea I've ever had, I suggest steeping with milk and honey
This tea has that perfect amount of spice that lingers at the back of my throat after each sip. It's great alone or with sugar and/or milk. Just delicious!
First rooibos tea I tried. Have to say I was pleased, chai flavors went well with it. Made Chai Lattes and they were fantastic.

As amazing as the description and reviews of this tea sound, it's not for everyone. Earthy teas are my favorite, however, in my opinion this tea is less earthy and more herby... there's a very strong almost garlic taste... which I found to be kind of harsh and overpowering. Clearly I'm in the minority here, so take my review with a grain of salt! But I gotta be honest... not a fan :(
P.S. In order to make the tea drinkable and not waste my money, I steeped only one tablespoon of tea (half of the recommended amount) at 212 degrees F and it softened it nicely and made it drinkable. Undecided if honey made it better or worse so I just drank it without.
I got this as a free sample for sharing on facebook and I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much, as I'm not much of a chai fan, but I was pleasantly surprised. This does have a bit of spiciness to it, but it's quite mild, and when you add milk and sugar it's the perfect warm drink for a chilly fall night. Bonus - it's herbal, so I can drink it late at night as an after work relaxer and don't have to worry about caffeine keeping me awake.
This tea is wonderful both by itself with nothing added and mixed with some warm milk. The chai flavor is strong without being overpowering, and it makes a great nightcap. I ordered the sample size, but will definitely be ordering more of this! I can definitely see myself drinking this one everyday.
Surprisingly, I actually prefer the rooibos vanilla chai to the Masala chai. It brews up strong and spicy, just like I like it, and is nice with or without milk.
Any sort of chai has always been a favorite of mine and rooibos vanilla chai definitely topped that list.
Got this one first in the sample pack, but went back for a 3oz baggie. My roommates are super caffeine sensitive, and I just love tea of most sorts, we all love chai... this had to be in the collection. It is on the spicier side of things, which I really enjoy.
One of my very favorite teas from adagio. Great complex chai flavor without the caffeine. Updating to mention that I cut tea steep to 4 min because at 5 min I was getting hints of bitterness.
Wasn't a huge fan of this one and I normally like rooibos tea. It tasted a little spicy to me, may have been the cloves. If you like a little kick in your tea you might like it better than me.
I love this tea! It was only a sample though, so I may need to order it in bulk some time.
Wow... this gets bitter WAY fast! Yikes! Watch your temps and times on this one. The rooibos is good though. Not medicinal and the chia is very soothing. I do wish it had more cinnamon though. Just saying. Good sweetened with agave.
More sweet than sharp, this chai is a nice way to wind down on a cooler evening. Good iced with coconut milk and a few drops of stevia too.
Was not as good as I thought it would be. And also it is herbal, which I stupidly didn't realize
I really love this tea with a teaspoon of raw sugar and some milk. Rich, creamy, and comforting.
This is a delicious sweet chai, without the bitterness some black tea chais can exhibit. It could be a little spicier, but the sweetness and the heat complement each other well.
This is my new everyday drinker! As a long time fan of adagio's Masala Chai tea, and a newbie in the world of rooibos, I was concerned this tea would differ too greatly from the spicy magic Masala I was used to.
While it no doubt does have a different profile than Masala Chai, I'm happy to say I love them both. The rooibos seems to have a gentler taste, both the 'tea' and the spices are somewhat toned down, but overall the notes I loved are still present. In addition rooibos has the benefit of being caffeine free, which has cut down on my bathroom breaks!
The one criticism I have, which is not even bad enough to doc the brew a star, is that the vanilla doesn't seem to come through for me.
Overall a great tea that I intend to drink day by day for the foreseeable future.
I was excited to get this tea but was very disappointed when i steeped my first pot. It was WAY too much cinnamon in it for me and destroys the taste.
This is my go-to flavor whenever I can't decide on my tea mood. Always a good choice! I especially like to mix it with a mate tea.
This tea is so smooth and soothing. Perfect for a rainy morning like today.
Hands down my favorite tea to have with milk! It's got a bit of spice to it, and with milk and some sugar, I really appreciate the vanilla part of it~
very good for any day when you're craving a good soothing cup of tea
This is a very nice chai for the evening when you don't want the caffeine of a black tea. It is a subtler chai with pleasant but mild spices.
I couldn't really taste the vanilla so much, but this is a great blend nevertheless.
A wonderfully balanced chai, the spices never overwhelm the delicate flavor of the rooibos tea.
My favorite chai when I want a decaf option. Love this tea.
I like this but it doesn't quite have the snap of the masala chai.
A tasty chai that is perfect for drinking in the evening before bedtime.
This is delicious! Some of the tastiest tea I have ever tried!
I love masala chai, but sometimes want something not as strong which is why I enjoy this tea. It has a slightly spicy flavor but can still be enjoyed when you don't want something spicy because of the creamy flavor.
Lively and yet soothing. I really enjoy it in the evenings before going to bed. I have occasionally added various fresh fruits to the steeping pot that give it a little different taste but its perfect as is. A little bit of sweetener gives it a party flavor.
Very pretty in a glass pot for evening or early morning company.
I expected a lot of spice to match the vanilla, but I was super pleased to just have it less so. I can taste it, but the spice doesn't take from the vanilla or the rooibos. It's a perfect mingling of tea and spice- and if you can pardon the rhyme, it was still amazing over some ice.
This tea is INCREDIBLE! I have had some authentic chai in the past, and I'm often disappointed by so-called chai teas. This tea is the real deal. It had all the fullness of flavor you would expect, and the subtle vanilla compliments the cream. You should definitely try it with cream and a hint of sweetener. My only disappointment is that I go through it so quickly, since each cup requires 2tsp to brew, instead of 1tsp like most of my other teas.
Not my favorite chai tea, but still pretty good. Tried a sample because I LOVE rooibos tea, but in the end, the spice covers the base tea and I don't think I would have known it was rooibos tea based on taste alone. Although I did add sugar and a touch of cream, this chai is almost too sweet for me (maybe the vanilla?), and I prefer more of a spiced flavor. Overall a great chai tea and certainly better than a grocery store tea bag.
This tea is delicious - it's spicy, but also smooth thanks to the warm vanilla undertones.
Being a non-caffeine type of gal for the last few years, I really missed good chai--real brewed stuff, not the powder. This is excellent. I had not been a rooibos fan before, having been turned off by the tannic aspects. This tea is much smoother and very drinkable. One of my favorites for the summer, hot for breakfast and cold (sweetened with milk) the rest of the day.
You know that feeling you get at like ten pm and you want a nice warm chai to drink but, alas, chai has caffeine and you absolutely just HAVE to go to bed soon?! Well look no further. Rooibos vanilla chai is the chai for you! Get that warm 'hug-for-your-insides' feeling without the buzz of caffeine!
This tea is amazing. It's wonderful to have a caffeine-free alternative for chai. The spicy cinnamon and clove is slightly tempered by the smooth, sweet vanilla. Sugar and milk are fantastic additions.
This tea is so mouthwatering . Its like eating a delicious cookie without the guilt . I love it with Soy milk and a bit of the amber sugar crystals. Its perfect for a cold day !
