Chai and I don’t relate well to one another. Normally I just don’t get it. I have had a white chai I liked. This is rooibos. I like rooibos but never crave it. There is just something about the combination of rooibos and chai that I find appealing. I found myself easily finishing this one. The spices are sweet and don’t overwhelm the senses. Cinnamon possibly being the most prominent but really they all blend well together. The rooibos is present mid sip. I think the vanilla (which I don’t taste) knocks the scratchy edges off, making the rooibos very well behaved. I don’t really taste cola other than as hints that may be subliminal because I expect to taste it. After the cup cools the spices grow a little stronger, but only a little, and I can taste ginger in the aftertaste. I found this to be one of the more appealing rooibos I have tried and amazingly it is a chai. Thanks CelebriTEA for sharing.

Glad you mentioned Cola…I have some cola/rooibos that needs to be drunk up; makes a good cold steep in the summer. Which continues to elude us; we are now enjoying monsoon season.

No, keep the monsoon. We are finally dry and warm. I hope it goes south of us.
The white peach I had recently was my favorite icy drink, though I never think to cold steep.
