THE STORY OF CINNAMON BUN ROOIBOS CHAI

Is there any aroma more inviting than that of hot cinnamon buns fresh from the oven? 
Cinnamon Bun Rooibos Chai is not only delicious, it's packed with antioxidants, polyphenols and essential minerals. What's more, it's naturally caffeine-free. This makes it perfect for easing into a morning, wiling away an afternoon, or settling into your evening.

To make this fabulous chai, we've taken pure Cederberg rooibos and blended it with a healthy dash of cinnamon, (a staple of South African cuisine,) ginger, cardamom, pepper, cloves and more for a cup that delivers all the flavour of a cinnamon bun, with none of the guilt.

Luxury grade Rooibos (Latin: Aspalathus linearis) grows only in the Cederberg district of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It was discovered more than 300 years ago by inhabitants of the region, who found it could be brewed into a refreshing, nutritious tea.

Important: Turn your bag of Chai upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom of the bag during transit.

 

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT TEA: Infuse one slightly heaping teaspoon for each 8 ounce cup with water brought to a rolling boil (85 degrees Celcius) for 3-7 minutes.

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Pitcher): (To Make 1 Liter/Quart):
Infuse 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of tea with 1 1/4 cups of boiling water for 7 minutes.  Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water, and add the infused tea, straining the leaves, to the pitcher.  Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Add lemon and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.

ICED TEA BREWING METHOD (Individual Serving):
Infuse 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea with 6 ounces of boiling water for 7 minutes. Add the tea to a 12 ounce glass, filled with ice, straining the leaves.  Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Add lemon and sweeten to taste.

NUMBER OF CUPS: 15-20 cups from each 50 grams of tea, with a single use of the leaves.  Loose leaf tea is traditionally infused 3 times, with a different flavor profile following each infusion.  Accordingly, each 50 gram bag can make up to 60 cups of tea.
