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.

Good product

It’s a tasty drink!

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.

No caffeine makes my late night espresso drinks by the fire so much better. It works perfectly in the new nespresso Vertuo machine. Just over a little milk and honey it is perfect.

This stuff is delicious. I have it when I want a latte at night and don’t want caffeine. I can’t believe I’d never heard of this stuff

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

Enjoying iced latte. Brewed in Moka pot.

great in espresso machine as healthy cappuccino alternative

Davvero un ottimo prodotto di qualità, ho avuto benefici, utilizzato con la moka, peccato per il costo, comunque consiglio.
