The evening cup for anyone stepping back from caffeine. Honeybush (a naturally caffeine-free South African herb) brings a soft, honey-sweet base, and chai spice gives it warmth and depth: ginger, green cardamom, and Ceylon cinnamon. Brew it hot on the stovetop, with milk for a café-style cup or on its own when you want it lighter. It suits a slow evening or a cold, wet afternoon.
Honeybush is a cousin of rooibos, mellower and a touch sweeter, and the chai spices give it a warm, spice-forward character all its own. We blend it fresh in small batches in Portland so the ginger stays sharp and the cinnamon stays bright.
Blend: honeybush, ginger, green cardamom, Ceylon cinnamon. Caffeine-free. No sugar, no preservatives. Vegan.
Common Questions
How do I brew it?
How do I brew it?
Use one teaspoon per eight ounces of water in a pan. Bring it to a rolling boil for two to three minutes. Add milk at a ratio of one part milk to three parts water, then boil for another two minutes. Strain, sweeten to taste, and serve.
Is it caffeine-free?
Is it caffeine-free?
Yes. Honeybush is a herb, not a leaf from the tea plant, so the cup carries no caffeine at all.
Will it turn bitter if I steep it too long?
Will it turn bitter if I steep it too long?
Honeybush is forgiving and stays smooth even with a longer brew. Hold to the timing above and it keeps its honey-sweet edge without going harsh.
How is it different from black chai?
How is it different from black chai?
Milder and naturally sweeter, with no caffeine. You get the same familiar ginger-cardamom-cinnamon spice, over a soft herbal base rather than a bold black tea.
