Toasted. Buttery. Indulgent.
Chai, but make it chocolate.
Our Chocolate Chai Herbal Tea Blend starts with naturally caffeine-free red rooibos and freshly roasted cacao nibs, then piles on all those warm chai spices—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, and vanilla—with orange peel, roasted chicory root, and licorice rounding everything out.
The result is rich, toasty, chocolatey, and warmly spiced without being overly sweet. It has that deep, cozy flavor that feels a little decadent and is practically begging to be consumed under a blanket with a book.
Drink it hot and sweeten it with maple syrup or brown sugar. Trust us on that one!
