Rooibos Chai Tea
1 review

Rooibos Chai is fun to say, but with woody notes and natural sweetness, it’s even better to drink. Powerful cinnamon and zesty cardamom make for a comforting taste of home. Just wait for it to cool (or try to).
Sustainable goodness
Numi works tirelessly to make a positive mark on the world, with an environmentally- and socially-based action plan.
Why we love it
Chai translates to “tea,” so when you order a "chai tea," you're technically asking for "tea tea." Today, chai is associated with rich spices reminiscent of fireside chats with friends and fragrant dishes cooking on the stove, like peppery allspice, woody cinnamon, and almost-hot cloves (plus many more). Add these to mellow rooibos, and you’re in for a caffeine-less treat better than any latte.
Rooibos chai is caffeine free, like other rooibos teas.

How it does good
A global family business serving the global family
Tea-making is hardly as simple (or as soothing) as pouring water into a cup. Deforestation, water shortages, and threats to biodiversity are all results of less ethical tea-based agriculture. Numi, a brother-sister team based in Oakland, is out to change that, with environmental practices focused on making great, flavorful tea while protecting land and employees. They cut out pesticides, fertilizers, and machine picking that impact taste, farmland, and the workers who handle them. They also use practices that sustain ecological harmony and send out their products in compostable bags and wrappers. The word “Numi” refers to an Iraqi drink, symbolic of hospitality and community. True to its name, Numi is introducing new, global tastes and new, globally protective practices with their tea.

supporting key causes
The Numi Foundation donates fresh fruits and vegetables to food-insecure families and works with communities for long-term access to drinking water and sanitation. And community gardens, diversity and inclusion organizations, and a 2020 ballot initiative to eliminate truck emissions in California are just some in a long, long list of their contributions. -
low carbon footprint
Numi began eliminating direct and indirect carbon emissions along their growth and production lines in 2011. As of 2020, they have officially achieved Climate Neutral Certified status, which means that they have reduced and offset their emissions down to zero. Way to set a goal and stick to it! -
recyclable packaging
In 2020, they introduced a first-of-its-kind, plant-based wrapper, made with sugarcane and eucalyptus to be industrially compostable and break down fully, without any leftovers that will be harmful to the environment. -
responsible sourcing
Their founders maintain direct, decades-long relationships with tea producers, with traceable products from more than 34 countries. They support their farmers and producers with Fair Trade Certification and Fair Labor Verification, which uphold living standards and sponsor education, health care, community, and infrastructure initiatives for farming communities.
How to use it

For a perfect, steamy brew, steep 5-6 minutes. Add milk and honey, or enjoy it on its own. For an indulgent iced version, steep 2 tea bags, allow to cool, and pour over ice.
When you're done...
The carton is curbside recyclable. The tea bag is home or industrially compostable. The wrapper is industrially compostable. Find a location near you.
These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.

I meant to order plain rooibos but must have had a fat thumb and ordered mix by mistake. Not a real fan of chai. Have ordered your Rooibos in the past and love it so I will be a while getting rid of the tea I ordered by mistake.
