Award-winning, gingerbread rooibos chai created as homage to the Nordic city of Bergen. They build a life size gingerbread city every Christmas, wow! Originally a Limited Edition blend, we received tons of special requests to make it all year round, so we did!
Please note: you will still see our old kraft pouches in circulation while we introduce our new eco pouches.
Tea Mixologist Top Tip:Try me as an iced Gingerbread Chai latte! Brew a strong shot of tea, pour it over ice, swirl in some honey and top it off with oat milk!
1 heaped teaspoon per cup - 100° water - 4+ mins - with or without milk
After the lovely scent of the tea wafted from the bag, I was instantly excited; the smell is rich, warm and almost dizzyingly appealing. I brewed a cup with the recommended quantity of tea.
After taking a sip, I was smacked by an affront of incredibly potent ginger; it was exceptionally spicy, and more akin to a liquid madras than a cup of tea! The fieriness completely overwhelmed any of the flavours hiding behind the ginger which clearly takes centre stage. I think this tea could be much more tasty and palatable if they balanced the proportion of ginger to all the other lovely ingredients in the mixture. I liked the sound of them, but can't notice any of the subtler qualities of the tea because I was temporarily embodying a dragon and breathing fire for the next few hours.
Sadly, I have tasted mass market ginger teas and enjoyed them far more. I think the creator of this tea probably has an unnatural propensity for gingerbread, spice, and turning a typically pleasant experience into a gustatory gauntlet!

Hi Jonah,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our Gingerbread Chai tea blend. I'm sorry to hear this wasn't your cuppa. We love to hear back from our communiTEA and the experiences they have with our brews as it is so valuable to us - especially when it turns them into a fire breathing dragon haha!
I find when I make my Gingerbread Chai latte, I always like to shake the bag up so that I get an even mix of ingredients in my brew, maybe this might help to bring out the other flavours for your cuppa too!
I have popped you an email to see if there is anything we can do :)
Yours Brew-ly, Marlie @ B&B

New pantry staple!
I had this blend as an iced chai in London while visiting on holiday last month. Once I got back to the states, I was craving it, so I ordered a 300-gram bag (and some other teas)! The blend looks, smells, and tastes lovely, especially mixed with a bit of oat milk. Will always have it on hand now!

Hi there! I'm so glad you're enjoying Gingerbread Chai so much! Try it as a latte too, super satisfying. If you've not tried Carrot Cake tea, I'm sure you'll love it. Similar flavours and lovely and cakey! Happy Sipping! Ian @ B&B
