Ingredients in Rooibos Chai Tea

Each ingredient found in Rooibos Masala Chai Tea has its own unique story and background. The base component is Rooibos Tea (Aspalathus linearis), a plant that grows exclusively in South Africa’s Cederberg region of the Western Cape Province.

It belongs to the Fabaceae (Legume) family, boasting needle-like leaves that, when processed and then brewed, are a herbaceous delight to the senses. 

Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale) is another worthy inclusion. It is, in fact, a relative of Cardamom Tea, and is cultivated in India, Africa and the Caribbean. As a standalone Herbal Tea, it has bold peppery characteristics with zingy, zesty overtones.
