The Gathering Place Chai (Ch-eye) soothes the body, mind and soul with its blend of all organic spices and organic Rooibos tea. Rooibos is perfectly blended with cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, black pepper, and ginger to create this incredibly soothing drink.
Chai means "spiced tea" and originated in India. North America has seized this tradition and Chai is fast becoming a household word. Traditionally, Chai is made with Black Tea, which packs a caffeine punch. We replace the Black Tea with Rooibos Tea, making a caffeine free Rooibos Chai which can be consumed all throughout the day. Many find it a soothing after dinner or bedtime drink. Chai is excellent for digestion and calming to the whole body.
We use fresh organic spices and hand blend the Rooibos Chai in small batches. Our top secret Organic Rooibos Chai recipe was hit upon after months of trials and taste tests with the many willing tea drinkers of Cortes Island. Thanks to all those folks who gave their input and helped create this special blend and to all our loyal customers across Canada who tell us this is their new favourite tea!
