Rooibos base, cinnamon bark, ginger root, cardamom, vanilla bean. The chai blueprint rebuilt without caffeine. Holds up to milk and sweetener the same way a masala chai does, but the evening version — nothing in the box will keep you up.
The chai ritual, rebuilt for the hours after dark. Zero caffeine. Full spice. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
