A Tale of Two Tea Traditions
This blend represents a unique cultural fusion. The rooibos base speaks to the heritage of South Africa's Khoisan people, who discovered this remarkable plant in the Cederberg mountains. The traditional chai spices trace their roots to ancient India, where they were first blended with tea thousands of years ago as part of Ayurvedic medicine. Local healers would prescribe different spice blends based on individual needs, creating what we now know as masala chai. Together, these traditions create a bridge between two ancient healing practices, offering the best of both worlds in one harmonious cup.
