A rooibos chai with proper depth
This blend brings together authentic South African rooibos with chai spices for a rounded cup that feels full, not sharp. The rooibos gives natural sweetness and a soft finish, while the spice layer adds warmth and a little lift on the palate.
It is a good choice for customers who want chai flavour but prefer to avoid black tea. In Stellenbosch, Cape Town and coastal areas alike, it holds its character well in both plain hot water service and milk-based drinks. The cup is steady and easy to drink, even after a meal.
- Caffeine-free rooibos base
- Spice notes of cinnamon, ginger and cardamom
- Suitable for daily service and gift packs
- Works well as a brewed tea or chai latte base

Where Chai Rooibos fits best
This blend suits places where people want something warming but not too heavy. It works in breakfast service, afternoon tea tables, winter menus and after-dinner drinks. It also performs well for offices that keep loose-leaf tea on hand, especially when staff want a caffeine-free option later in the day.
For hospitality use, it pairs neatly with rusks, scones, oat biscuits and light cakes. In the Western Cape, where cooler mornings and coastal wind can make the first cup of the day matter, it is a practical choice for guesthouses and cafés. It also travels well in gift hampers for year-end packs and wedding favours.
- Guesthouses, lodges and B&Bs
- Cafés, tea rooms and farm stalls
- Office tea stations and staff kitchens
- Gift boxes, wedding favours and corporate packs
Brewing notes for a clean, steady cup
For a single mug, use about 2 to 3 grams of tea to 250 ml of freshly boiled water. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes, then strain. If you want a stronger chai profile, leave it a little longer and serve with warmed milk or a milk alternative.
For a jug, use roughly 10 to 12 grams per litre and taste before serving. Because rooibos does not become bitter as quickly as black tea, it gives you a bit more room to work with. That said, over-steeping can still make the spice feel heavier than needed so it is best to test your timing first.
- Water temperature: 95 to 100°C
- Steep time: 5 to 7 minutes
- Serve plain or with milk
- Optional sweetener: honey, sugar or syrup
Ingredients, storage and shelf care
Our Chai Rooibos is made as a loose-leaf blend for quality flavour release and a tidy brew. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sun, steam and strong smells from spices or cleaning products. In humid coastal conditions, especially near Durban or the Cape coast, airtight storage matters more than ever.
If the pack is opened often, decant into a clean tin or resealable container. Avoid leaving the tea near kettles, dishwashers or warm windowsills. Proper storage helps preserve the spice aroma and keeps the rooibos from picking up moisture. Use clean dry spoons when measuring, no wet scoops please.
- Store in an airtight container
- Keep away from heat, moisture and strong odours
- Use dry utensils only
- Best used within the pack date guidance on the label
What to check before you order
When ordering Chai Rooibos, check the pack size, quantity and whether you need retail packs or bulk supply. For business use, confirm if you need plain packs, private label packing or a mixed order for different outlets. It also helps to know whether the tea will be used for cups, teapots or chai latte service so the grind and pack size can be matched properly.
If you are buying for an event or a gifting run, send through the date, delivery town and the number of recipients. We courier across South Africa, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Bloemfontein, and can work with staged deliveries where needed. For larger hospitality accounts, it is useful to plan ahead around school holidays, load-shedding interruptions and busy seasonal trading periods.
- Confirm pack size and total quantity
- Choose retail, bulk or custom packing
- Note the delivery town and required date
- Tell us if the tea is for gifting, hospitality or resale
