Pompadour's New Rooibos Chai: A Refreshing Taste of Tradition and Innovation
As the chai market experiences remarkable growth, Pompadour is poised to make a significant impact with its upcoming release of the
New York Chai Rooibos Tea. Slated for launch on
November 21, 2025, this product is set to tap into the growing consumer demand for chai while offering a unique twist featuring rooibos tea as its base.
The Expanding Chai Market
The chai market has claimed a prominent place in the beverage industry, largely driven by the growing trend of health-consciousness and a rise in specialized tea shops. During the past two years, the sales of chai products in tea bag form have skyrocketed, experiencing a 2.1 times increase from 2022 to 2024. The surge in popularity is attributed to the convenience of ready-made tea bags that deliver the rich tastes and aromatic spices of traditional chai by simply adding hot water. Chai-flavored drinks are becoming increasingly available at cafes and convenience stores, further propelling this vibrant market.
A Unique Flavor Profile
The
New York Chai Rooibos Tea, crafted by Japan's own
Nihon Ryokucha Center Co., Ltd., combines the delightful sweetness of honey bits and herbs with the soothing aroma of spices. This caffeine-free chai offers a refreshing alternative to traditional tea options. With notes of lemon peel and a hint of vanilla, the blend provides a sophisticated and calming experience, reminiscent of the eclectic yet harmonious culture of New York City, where diverse influences coalesce.
Pompadour enhances its chai lineup with this unique formulation, categorized distinctly from their existing
Indian Chai. Unlike its predecessor, the New York Chai Rooibos Tea is caffeine-free, making it suitable for enjoyment at any time of the day—whether you're seeking a midday refreshment or a bedtime tea.

Pompadour has made a name for itself as a venerable herbal tea manufacturer in Germany. Over the years, they have garnered a global following, known for their dedication to high-quality ingredients sourced by expert tea historians and herbalists.

In 2025, Pompadour offers over 20 varieties of herbal and fruit teas, including the innovative
Fruit of the World and their cold-brew offerings, designed for a fresh and invigorating experience. Customers can purchase their products from local retailers or through their online store,
Tea Boutique.
