Oh so sweet and spicy! Tempt your taste buds with Coconut Vanilla Chai, a creamy, caffeine-free herbal twist on a classic tea favorite. We start with a base of quality South African rooibos, then add heaps of coconut, warming cinnamon and ginger, and a smooth vanilla flavor for a rich, fragrant cup.
Traditionally, chai is made with strong black tea, cardamom and a variety of spices, often simmered with milk. It's a beloved Ayurvedic-inspired drink enjoyed throughout India and now around the world. Our rooibos version keeps all the cozy warmth of chai while being completely caffeine-free, so the whole family can enjoy it.

Cinnamon
Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, rolled into the familiar curled quills. In the cup it gives a sweet, woody warmth with a gentle bite and a rich, bakery-like aroma. It is a natural partner for black tea, rooibos and fruit blends, especially alongside ginger, cardamom, clove and apple. Try a cinnamon blend with a splash of milk on a cold morning, or brew it strong and pour it over ice.
Coconut comes from the large fruit of the coconut palm, which grows along tropical coastlines from Southeast Asia to the Caribbean. Dried coconut flakes or chips add a creamy, nutty sweetness and a soft tropical aroma that rounds out the cup. Coconut is a favorite in black tea, green tea, rooibos and pu-erh blends, often teamed with pineapple, vanilla, almond or chocolate. Coconut blends are lovely iced in summer, and they taste rich and dessert-like with a little milk.
Ginger is the knobby root, or rhizome, of a tropical plant first grown in Southeast Asia and now cultivated in India, China and beyond. In the cup it brings a lively, peppery heat with a bright, zesty, slightly citrusy aroma that warms from the first sip. Ginger is one of the stars of chai and pairs well with black tea, green tea, rooibos and herbal blends, often alongside lemon, cinnamon, turmeric and peach. It is great hot with honey or brewed strong and served iced.

Absolutely gorgeous. Perfect level of spice rounded off with the mellow coconut and vanilla. I will be ordering a larger amount next time.

Absolutely delicious tea to unwind in the evening when you want something more substantial than herbal teas but don't need the caffeine. Or have it as a dessert treat with the vanilla rock sugar and your favorite creamer. Not very strong on the coconut side so if you avoid coconut I would still give this a try!

The Coconut Vanilla Chai is my favorite Tealyra tea! It is a light chai tea with subtle notes of vanilla and chai. For me, the flavors go really well together and are balanced perfectly. Wish they sold it by the pound.

Really lovely and light. Some chai can be over powering and end up tasting of cinnamon. This is a perfect blend of spice and sweet. Highly recommended

I love this tea! I agree with some earlier comments that it’s not much vanilla, the ginger is definitely the strongest. However, I do get the coconut and Rooibos with hint of vanilla. I still love this tea, it has easily become my favorite. Can’t wait to try more.

I drink about a gallon of this tea every day! The blend of flavors is wonderful, and it's bumped all of my other teas for morning, noon, and after-dinner. Sometimes I throw in a little bit of Cherry Goddess or Spicy Pear or almost anything vanilla - I haven't found a combination I don't like!

My go to morning tea it does require a longer brew but if you do that with a little agave or honey to add some warm notes its superb

This is my newest addiction...as someone who loves earl great and other black teas but can no longer drink caffeine, I was mourning the loss of those drinks. This has taken away my longings and more than satisfied my thirst, both hit and cold. Truly delicious!

One of my favorites from Tealyra! The coconut goes great with the chai flavor and adds just a bit of sweetness.

Beautiful by itself or with a spoon of coconut cream. My favourite.

I agree with some other comments.
It's a nice Rooibos, with a ginger kick.
Vainilla and coconut are inexistent to the taste.

As with all Tealyra teas I've bought, the quality is excellent, so no complaints there. However, I do want to stress that by far the dominant flavor in this tea is cinnamon and ginger. Coconut and Vanilla are definitely secondary. I personally also didn't end up finding the combination to be very good. I thought the sharp flavors might work well with the smoother coconut vanilla, but now having had it I don't think that's the case. Just my 2 cents, though.

I'm very disappointed by this tea. The name is Coconut Vanilla Chai - there is no vanilla at all, I can see the coconut but the flavor does not come through at all and I get none of the typical Chai notes. This tea should be called Spicy Ginger - ginger dominates the smell & taste of this tea. It's a good tea as long as I think of it as Spicy Ginger, when I'm in the mood for Coconut Vanilla Chai - this isn't it.
