Chai Masala usually refers to the blend of spices that are steeped with black tea. Replacing the black tea with rooibos tea, however, removes the caffeine but keeps the spiciness! In addition to the bite of ginger, the sweetness of cardamom, and the warmth of cinnamon, velvety red rooibos tea ties the assortment of flavors together into a unified cup that is energetic, engaging, and rich.

decoctionConsider decocting this blend traditionally: Simmer this chai spice blend with milk and cream over sustained heat versus adding pre-heated water for an infusion. Be sure to strain the botanicals from your drink before sipping.
notes on tea strength The strength and flavor of tea is a personal experience.

We aim to provide times and temperatures that reduce the risk of allowing the actual tea leaves (or other delicate herbs in blends) to taste bitter due to too much steep time or to get scorched from too much heat.

If you desire a stronger cup, we suggest using more tea rather than a longer steep time to minimize the potential for a more bitter flavor.
