Lore

The vanilla orchid is a captivating and alluring plant that has captivated humans for centuries. Its fragrant blooms are a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature. 

Did you know that vanilla beans are actually fruits? The vanilla orchid grows as a vine on support trees, reaching impressive heights in the wild. In cultivated settings, new growth is manually turned down to make harvesting easier.

Each vanilla flower must be pollinated in order to produce a bean. In the wild, this task is typically carried out by bees or hummingbirds. 

However, in many commercial settings, hand-pollination is necessary to ensure a successful yield.

Rooibos is a bush-like plant native to South Africa. Unlike the vanilla orchid, rooibos is relatively easy to cultivate. The leaves of the rooibos plant are harvested and oxidized to create the distinctive red color and flavor of rooibos tea.

Enjoy

To brew the perfect cup of rooibos vanilla chai, simply steep two heaping teaspoons of tea in 8 ounces of hot water for 5-7 minutes. Add sugar, cream, or milk to taste. 

Sit back, relax, and let the captivating aroma and flavor of this exquisite blend transport you to a world of serenity and delight.
