Thursday Tea Time

This week - Trader Joe's Organic Spiced Rooibos Ruby Red Chai 


Cost:  $1.99 at Trader Joe's.  It's also available on Amazon.
Number of teabags:  20
Caffeine:  No
Type of tea:   Red, Rooibos
Steeping time:  5 minutes
Add ins:  A splash of Coffee Mate's Natural Bliss Sweet Cream
Teabag fragrance:  Clove
Ingredients: Organic:  Roobios, cloves, ginger, allspice, cardamon, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Opinion:  Brews to a beautiful brick red color, turning a pretty peach color after adding the creamer. No other sweetener was necessary.  I can drink this almost as a dessert tea after dinner without having to worry about caffeine.  I like the fact this chai blend does not have black pepper, so it is very smooth and not bite-y.  And the addition of allspice is a nice touch.   I've already drank half the box already -- Apparently the word is out on this tea, when I went back to Trader Joe's (their dark chocolate caramel with black sea salt bar is TDF!  Look for it near the checkout registers.)  a few days later, the slot was empty.  Fall is here and this is the perfect seasonal tea to drink in and toast to the cooler months ahead.

The Mango black tea is very good, too! and you can't beat the price - under$2 a box - 10c a teabag! : )
