Dragonfly Cape Malay Rooibos Chai is one of our most popular teas. It combines the delicious & soothing taste of naturally caffeine-free rooibos (aspalathus linearis) with a unique traditional blend of aromatic spices, including cinnamon, cardamom, chicory & cloves. Cape Town was founded in the 17th Century as a staging post for sailing shiips carrying tea, spices, porcelain & silk from China, India & the East Indies to Europe. This tea is inspired by Cape Town’s wonderfully rich Cape Malay culinary tradition with its origins in Indonesia, Holland & India. All our ingredients are organically grown & include rooibos tea, cinnamon, cardomom, ginger, chicory, cloves, black pepper & citrus peel. All Dragonfly rooibos teas are still cured in the traditional way, as it was when Benjamin Ginsberg founded rooibos. The process takes place in the crisp air of the Cedarberg Mountains of South Africa's Cape. It requires great skill to know when the cure is at its peak; one sign is that it begins to give off a delicious sweet aroma that attracts wild bees. Dragonfly rooibos teas are naturally caffeine free, so they can be enjoyed at any time of day & are suitable for the whole family. Rooibos is rich in antioxidants & AHAs, long valued for fresh glowing skin, gently rehydrating & low in tannin.
