"Chai (or Masala Chai) is traditionallly a brewed beverage, combining rich spices and black tea with milk and a sweetener. This tea contains Stevia rebaudiana, a natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of the plant. Stevia have a negligible effect on blood glucose, and best suits people with carbohydrate-controlled diets. Compared to artificial sweeteners, stevia can suppress the plasma glucose levels and raise glucose tolerance. Stevia has zero calories, and is effective in helping to control glucose level. With spices from around the world, Imperial Organic's Vanilla Rooibus Chai is a delicious experience. A special recipe originating from India, we blend exotic spices with fragrant vanilla. We use rooibos (or sometimes called ""bush tea"" or ""redbush tea"" or ""red tea"") to create an organic and naturally caffeine-free blend. This spicy chai tea is great hot or cold. Add fresh milk or soy milk for a delicious, traditional cup of chai."
