Why vanilla-y Rooibos has so many benefits

We chose red rooibos as a tea base for our Chai to add natural sweetness and color to the cup — but its health benefits are also off the chain, too. We call it a ‘free radical warrior’ because it has super-high levels of antioxidants.

This shrub, known in Western taxonomy as Aspalathus linearis, is endemic to South Africa. Endemic means it's from there, and only grows there. It's not related to the "tea" plant Camellia sinensis at all, with no caffeine, hardly any tannins and just a very different chemical profile (and therefore, flavor profile) overall. But both plants are full of antioxidants, and that's where the health benefits come in.

Rooibos in particular has more antioxidants than almost any other plant around. These compounds reduce inflammation, especially associated with sugar and diabetes. Rooibos is heart-healthy too, potentially by protecting blood pressure levels and lowering "bad" cholesterol.

Sure, we followed our tastebuds to craft this amazing brew — but we definitely followed the wisdom and science of Ayurvedic chai for this tea. 

Benefits of Tulsi

Tulsi — a naturally sweet, adaptogenic herb — is a cute flowering bush from the mint family. We like to say it’s the best friend you never knew you had, because it’s a powerful yet gentle adaptogen overflowing with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Commonly known as holy basil, tulsi is a sacred herb to our friends in India, commonly potted and placed near the entrance of homes. 

While tulsi has a long list of medicinal properties, it is most commonly celebrated for being an adaptogen. Adaptogens also balance the negative effects of metabolic stress (blood sugar, pressure, and lipid levels) and psychological stress (memory, cognitive function, and antidepressant). 

Benefits of Ginger

Grandma might've given you ginger for nausea, and she was spot on. It does more than soothe your tummy, though. If consumed regularly, some of its compounds accumulate in your digestive tract, keeping a healthier digestive environment stable in your body. 

Benefits of Cardamom

We love using lots and lots of this green, naturally sweet, menthol-flavored seed pod in our Chai — seriously, there's really nothing like it. It's a favorite in savory dishes and desserts for these reasons, and South Asians have always known it's good for digestion.

Cardamom is super healthy too. It’s so packed with antioxidants and free radical-fighting properties, it's clinically proven to guard against chronic inflammation. It can also lower blood pressure, and can protect against all kinds of illness in pre-diabetic folks.

In fact, cardamom is kind of an all-around superhero, fighting cavities and harmful bacteria, and containing effects across the board: antispasmodic, gastroprotective, antibacterial, anti-food poisoning, carminative, diuretic, expectorant, heart-function improving... Just wow.

Benefits of Peppercorn

Black pepper is a serious healer. Piperine is the active ingredient that gets the most press, but peppercorn also contains disease-fighting agents that boost your immunity. We use Malabar black peppercorn from India's coast because it's known for being fruity and bold.

Benefits of Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a good friend, too. It contains the same antioxidant polyphenols tea leaves have, it's anti-inflammatory, and it's heart-healthy. Folks with diabetes might benefit from cinnamon, too, because it's been shown to lower insulin and cholesterol in animals. Cinnamon even shows promise to protect against brain damage and neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and  “upregulates” (boosts) positive hormones in the brain!

Benefits of Allspice

This little Jamaican ball of flavor, carrying hints of nutmeg, peppercorn, juniper, and more (hence its name "allspice") has lots of awesomeness compounds. Protecting against disease, we've got another wellness spice, here! 

Antioxidants are here to save the day again. It's even got loads of polyphenols, those free radical-busting antioxidants that make tea so special. Plus, it's antibacterial, which means you can bet it helps you fight bad breath and food poisoning.

Benefits of Star Anise

One last spicy antioxidant babe on our list! Just a little goes a long way, but Chai wouldn't be the same without her. Star anise is a powerful anti-viral agent, as well as an antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insecticidal, secretolytic, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective agent, and more. There may even be ways that star anise increases the body's ability to use energy and nutrients. That remains to be seen, but we've got our ears open.
