The word Rooibos comes from Afrikaans, the language of the Dutch who settled in South Africa about 300 years ago - “rooi” meaning red and “bosch” meaning bush.  So Green Rooibos is a bit of a contradiction in terms!  In this post we give the subject a bit of a stir then serve up some answers.

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day on the 17^th of March and that means the whole world goes fifty shades of green. Why green?  Because Ireland, getting a lot of rain, is known as the Emerald Isle?  Because in the Rebellion of 1798 the Irish wore green to distinguish themselves from the English “redcoats”.  Or because early St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made them invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see?  It’s all of the above.

Variety is the spice of life – and that is literally true with Rooibos Chai.  It’s Rooibos as we know it…but infused with warming and aromatic spices to give your taste buds a delightful surprise. If you have a few questions about what Chai is, where it comes from, and how best to enjoy it, then read on.
