Rooibos Chai
!!FIRST EVER TEA REVIEW ON CIGAR ASYLUM!! had some of this sunday, got it from "woops" at the KC herf (he gets it from a shop in St. Joseph, MO called "simply tea"). just going by memory, this stuff was kick ass. smooth, flavorful with a cinnamon-honey as the dominating factor. i tried it with sugar and a tiny bit o' milk, as the package recommended, and then another cup right after with only sugar. both were very good, probably prefer it without the milk. thanks, darien.

Re: Rooibos Chai
Glad you liked it. This is one of my favorite Rooibos (pronounced Roy-bus) tea's .... actually, it's a tisane and not a tea.
There is a tasty dessert blend called Rooibos Cream/Caramel. With some sugar, it's a liquid dessert! SWEET. Recently, I picked up a blend called Green Rooibos Key Largo. Need to try it soon.

Re: Rooibos Chai
There is a pure Rooibos tea called "Red Espresso" that I highly recommend. It would be very good indeed with some of the lighter cigars, or cigars with grassy/herbal notes. I enjoy pressing it in my Aeropress for a strong straight shot, or with frothed or iced milk. The strength is comparable to espresso, but with no caffeine and a totally different taste.

Re: Rooibos Chai
I have a number of these types of "teas" (sic) that I enjoy. One I have tried that never really grooved me was a rootbeer flavor.
