Firepot Nomadic Teas Rooibos Chai Tea Latte

Firepot Nomadic Teas  Delicious Rooibos Chai Tea Latte

It’s not easy for a Crazy Tea Chick to admit that there’s actually a tea she isn’t perfectly crazy about. And yet… well… Rooibos tea and I don’t have a very good history. Throughout my tea-obsessed years, I’ve tried Rooibos tea – each time ordering myself to fall in love with it.

Alas, not a single spark ever flew. Heck, I never had one even begin to kindle.

Me… the Crazy Tea Chick who loves black, green, and white tea like they’re members of the family. Me.. the one who orders a tea-based drink each and every time she’s in Starbucks. Me.. the nut with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR shelves devoted to tea in her kitchen.

It has always bugged me that there is actually a tea I’d have to warm up to in order to even reach “lukewarm.”

On the other hand, I am (without a single doubt) the biggest Chai Tea Latte lover in the world. Obsessed doesn’t cut it and fanatical doesn’t even come close.

So, here was a dilemma recently presented to me: Rooibos Chai Tea Concentrate from Firepot Nomadic Teas! When I picked the bottle of concentrate up, I kind of felt like I had one little devil on one shoulder and one little angel on the other. While I’m sure Rooibos never did anything to earn such an association, it is what it is.

I’ve been so blown away by every Firepot Nomadic Tea I’ve tried that I held my breath – not wanting one to break the streak, yet fearing that if one WERE to break the streak, he’d answer to the name Rooibos.

Naturally, I used my Breville Milk Café Milk Frother to make my Rooibos Chai Tea Latte. Simply pour in equal parts of the concentrate and milk (skim, lactose free, whole milk… your choice) and push the button.

While it worked its magic, I tried to tame the doubts but my brain just kept trying to process the unlikeliest of pairings.  In fact, the Eagles classic “Hotel California” started playing in my head, “This could be Heaven or this could be Hell…”

Finally. The moment of truth.

My first thought was literally, “You have no right to be this delicious.”  And, yes, as a matter of fact, I do talk to inanimate objects. All the time.

They don’t judge, counter, or rebuff.

From Firepot Nomadic Teas:

Inspired by an ancient recipe from Northern India, our masala chai (meaning spiced tea) has won the hearts and captured the tastebuds of Firepot devotees for almost two decades. Our exotic and aromatic spices are hand-blended and freshly ground for a uniquely vivid and balanced taste. Firepot Rooibos Chai is brewed with South Africa’s mineral and nutrient-rich herb, making our popular chai recipe caffeine-free.  {Continue Reading…}

The Firepot Rooibos Chai Tea is just ridiculously delicious. While I do, personally, think the Firepot Masala Chai Tea (click for my review of this beauty) is EVEN better, I am wild about the Rooibos Chai Tea. There is a uniqueness to it that floats my boat and I totally recommend it to anyone who loves lattes – whether or not you’re into Rooibos or not.

If you do happen to love Rooibos… why are you still reading?!?! Go order a bottle right now!

As for me, I believe I’ll have a nice warm cup of it right now.

I have to admit it, Firepot’s Rooibos Chai Tea has inspired me to renew my search for a great Rooibos Tea. There may be hope for us.
