Red Espresso Rooibos Tea – Ground South African Red Tea for Espresso Machines – Caffeine-Free Herbal Brew, Coffee Alternative, Brews Like Coffee – 8.8 oz (250 g)

I love this stuff. I was a fan of Rooibos tea already, and I have a nice Espresso machine, so I thought this made perfect sense. I have seen some people on Youtube talk about needing a pressurized basket to brew this but I use the 14 grams as recommended in a single wall double basket with a very light tamp it is a beautiful sight to see and absolutely delicious. I tried to give it a good tamp once but it choked the machine out and tasted bitter. So again, no pressurized basket, light tamp, good to go. This said, it would absolutely work great in a pressurized basket. If you have a sub $100 machine and love tea, go for it. You don't need an Expobar Office Lever Plus or ECM to make a good cup of this stuff. You just need the right tools. It actually comes with a card that tells you recommended brewing methods and types of drinks you make with it. I have not tried a latte or anything with it because I think a double shot into my espresso glass with about a 1/4 tsp Lakanto or a couple of drops of liquid Stevia is perfect the way it is. I do wish this product was significantly less as I pay about $25 for 2.2 lbs of espresso beans, but it is really delicious. I have one to two cups every afternoon. One thing to point out, I have seen bad reviews because people tried steeping this like regular tea... no. This is very fine, specifically for espresso. No tea baller is going to work on this. If you want to steep regular Rooibos tea, but regular Rooibos tea. This has to filtered somehow whether it be portafilter basket, pour over, drip, french press. Do not steep like regular tea and you should be fine.

Love the tea that it makes.I'm not sure about the quantities suggested by the harvester. I don't typically like heavy espresso (and I don't have an espresso machine and I'm not going to buy one just for this). I use ⅔ tsp in a regular american drip coffee machine. I insert a filter and I use a tea infuser, and brew on bold setting. This way I get nice deep rich tea, but without any of the tea leaves/ground leaves.If someone wants to send me an espresso machine, I'll try using this as suggested by the supplier.

I have been getting into rooibos lately out of a desire to increase the intake of antioxidants in my diet, specifically to try to improve upon my hormonal adult acne.I decided to write this review because when I was reading up about this product, it wasn't entirely clear to me wether this would work using a standard coffee-maker, or was it only compatible with an espresso machine (which I don't have). I decided to take a chance and order it anyway, and to my delight it did just that. I'm thrilled about it, because had it not worked out, I would have been relegated to sticking with the rooibos matcha, which is also great, but is much much more expensive than this product.

I have a friend from South Africa who told be about this product. She said the best results are from using a moka pot which I also bought (Grosche). The taste is excellent, especially with some frothed milk and a little honey. I recently made some using a Chemex and it was still pretty good, but it lost some of the robust flavor that you get from the moka pot. It's a little pricey, but if you decide you like it, buying a couple of packages drops the cost. The other benefit is that it's decaffeinated so it's a very nice after dinner or evening treat.

Tasty and easy to use. Packed full, great for a long shot.

I love my espresso machine, but I don't always want the caffeine. Red cappuccino is the perfect answer to that. I discovered this on a work trip to South Africa, where red rooibos is from. It's ubiquitous there. Very cool that it can be brewed in the portafilter just like espresso, and it makes latte art the same way, too. So, I drink this fairly regularly and I've always been happy with it.

This tea tastes great. Unlike expresso grind coffee it does not easily tap out of the round metal filter in my sturdy Krupa expresso machine. You have to pry out the used grounds in multiple pieces with a sharp knife. I do like the product and have sent it as a gift to my sister. I discovered that I can find my own equivalent expresso for much less money in my Blendtec.

Love the tase and health benefits! Using it in regular espresso maker
