This and the Rooibos Haute Chocolate were the first two teas I ever bought at Teavana, and the Rooibos Chai is still one of my favorites! It's great blended with Haute Chocolate for a caffeine-free drink, or with Matevana for a half-caff cup! (Although My Morning Mate has replaced that combo for me now.) My favorite preparation for the Rooibos Chai is a super-strong and super-sweet chai latte. I use double the amount of tea, then add lots of rock sugar and milk, or use a sweet coffee creamer. (French Vanilla or CoffeeMate's Italian Sweet Cream work best.)

I bought this tea after trying it outside the Teavana store. I also love Chai Tea Lattes from [@] so I bought this tea to try to imitate that drink. I bought 4 oz. of this tea along with 4 oz. of the MateVana in order to match the tea sample I tried. However, when I got home, the two didn't go well together. I really do not like the MateVana tea. I have limited my tea drinking (of the Rooibos Chai) because it just wasn't satisfactory. I think it was too weak where I am looking for a stronger and definitely spicier chai tea. I spent [$] on tea that trip and I kind of regret it. This chai isn't as full bodied as I'd like it to be. I think I am going to try the Masala Chai next time.

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
I really love this tea. It is especially good with a few rocks of the German Rock Sugar, as it really brings out the flavors. This is a mellow, slightly spicy tea (not too overwhelming) and the fact that it's caffeine-free makes it a great choice anytime, particularly in the evening.

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
One of the devastating parts of cutting caffeine out of my daily life was losing many of my favorite teas. I am THRILLED to find the Chai Rooibos. It has a really nice kick to it, but the cinnamon is a bit overwhelming and as a result it doesn't have the same balance of spices found in traditional black tea chai. I mix mine with a vanilla rooibos which lightens the spice just enough and brings back a bit of the balance. I use it regularly but right now it is a great detox for my cold!

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
The price was low for this tea... honestly that is why I tried this. I love Teavana but sometimes the wallet restrains you from enjoying all of their teas. This tea was very good.
Brewed for a bit under 4 minutes. A nice clear, pale brown color. Right off the bat you could smell the cinnamon. An earthy blend with a hint of spice hits the tongue. It is a strong first sip for those who have not had this before. It is an acquired taste.
If you like cinnamon and nutty teas, then grab some!

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
I'm a sucker for the free shipping offers; I always try to select a new type of tea each time, and this was the choice. I love flowery, herbal teas and am usually never partial to spicy teas, so I was skeptical about how it would taste. I never put milk in my tea, but decided to try it with this kind, since I've heard that that's the usual way it's served. I was swept away by the flavor and aroma. I think I found a new favorite! I added about half a cup of milk and a tablespoon of German rock sugar to a 16 oz. brew. I think I might try it with some vanilla soymilk next. It's perfect for a cold day!

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
This tea has too strong a cinnamon flavor for my taste. It was overpowering. If you like strong tea or love cinnamon you may enjoy this, but I won't be purchasing it again.

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
I received this tea in a gift pack. I was skeptical because I don't care for cream in my tea, which is the usual way to drink chais. I was pleasantly surprised by this chai. It is quite light but, the flavor is complex as long as you don't drown it in milk and sugar. You do need to brew it for the recommended time for rooibos teas, at least 4 or 5 minutes. One of my favorites.

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
Rooibos Chais are my favorite chais, but this one is not that great. The lemongrass in this is unnecessary and I don't love the flavor. This just isn't my favorite blend of spices for a rooibos chai. :( I mix it with Rooibos Tropica sometimes, but I'll probably end up giving it to a friend in the hopes that they'll like it more.

Comments about Teavana Rooibos Chai Rooibos Tea:
Thoroughly enjoy this tea anytime of the day but especially in the evening to relax and savor. Even my husband, who previously disliked tea, enjoys it! Bought 1/2 lb for my father for Christmas and he just called asking for more so here I am getting ready to buy some more. Highly recommend.
