Chai Rooibos ORGANIC

Masala chai is a strong tea base with the Indian spice set. Traditionally it is simmered with milk and sweetened, but it works on water too.

A product with no flavourings or additives.

The raw material is certified organic: grown without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilisers, with a documented supply chain from plantation to warehouse.

There is no caffeine at all and little tannin — the infusion does not turn bitter even after a long steep.

Preparation: 15–20 g per litre, 5–8 minutes, water at 100 °C. Rooibos is brewed with fully boiling water and a long steep does no harm: unlike tea leaf, it does not turn bitter over time.

The proportions are a starting point, not a rule: adjust them by up to 20 % to suit your water and your taste.

It works well both in retail and in a venue: caffeine-free, forgiving of brewing mistakes and still good cold — it makes an iced tea with no extra outlay.

Storage: in a tightly sealed opaque container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Tea readily absorbs foreign aromas, so it should not be kept next to spices or coffee.

Packaging: sold loose, the price is given per 100 g. Alveus supplier code — 82817.

The supplier is Alveus (Germany), one of Europe’s largest tea houses. Packing and dispatch from the Verdamare warehouse.
