No, it is naturally caffeine free. Instead of having a black tea base, this blend has a Rooibos base, which does not contain caffeine. If you are looking for a chai with caffeine, we offer a traditional Masala Chai.

Rooibos Tea (pronounced “roybos”) sometimes also called “red tea”, is brewed from the dried leaves of the rooibos plant. This plant is a low-growing shrub native to South Africa which is quite unlike traditional tea trees. The tea is made with oxidised leaves, which cause the reddish-brown colour of the brew and create a velvety and naturally sweet infusion.

Rooibos has a full-bodied flavour, which is remarkably smooth and sometimes described as slightly nutty or earthy. The natural sweetness of the leaves is complemented by the spices in this blend.

Tasmanian Pepperberry is the fruit of an Australian shrub native to the cool forests of Tasmania. It has a lingering fruity & spicy flavour, most commonly described as a cross between a plum, ginger and Sichuan pepper. Used for centuries by our First Peoples, it is known for its therapeutic properties and as a potent superfood. Due to its high antioxidant, amino acid and polyphenol profile, it was used to treat skin disorders, venereal disease, colic and stomach ache.
