Rooibos Turmeric Chai

I've been drinking this every night before bed since it's caffeine-free, and the turmeric gives it this warm, earthy kick that plain rooibos never had. Steeping it for about five minutes brings out the hand-ground spices nicely.

The spice blend smells incredible in the bag, but it truly blooms once steeped—that turmeric warmth is unmistakable. I’ve been swapping my afternoon coffee for this and the rooibos base keeps it smooth without any caffeine jitters.

The turmeric comes through gently without tasting medicinal, which I was worried about. Spice level is milder than a real masala chai, so I add an extra pinch of cinnamon. Still a solid caffeine-free cup after dinner.
