Rooibos Tea Facts:
Much more than great taste!
•Rooibos (pronounced roy-boss) only grows in one region in the world - the 110km region around the Cederberg Mountains north of Cape Town South Africa.
•Rooibos is caffeine-free; free of oxalic acid, colorants, and preservatives - 100% organic; low in tannin, replenishes iron, boosts the immune system, and is very high in anti-oxidants.
•Research has shown that the espresso form of rooibos is four times richer in anti-oxidants because of the grinding process in an espresso machine.

How to Make Red Espresso Tea
Espresso Machine:
First, make sure your espresso machine is clean - coffee flavored tea is not the sensation we are going for here trust me.
Second, scoop 2 tablespoons (12g) of Red Espresso or your own ground rooibos into the double filter basket.
Third, Express a double shot - this is the basis for your espresso tea drink! Kapow, just like that!French Press:
First, again make sure your French press is clean - espresso tea yum, tea/coffee not so yum.
Second, scoop 2 tablespoons (12g) per cup of Red Espresso or your own rooibos into the cylinder.
Third, fill the cylinder with hot water (just under boiling for best results).
Forth, stir gently and set the french press on top of the cylinder without pushing down to retain the heat.
Fifth, allow the rooibos to brew for a few minutes, and then press down the french press slowly. Presto-chango you are ready to make your drink!

- What a great idea. I made Tiramisu with Rooibos tea instead of coffee. I tried it with Rooibos Pumpkin and Rooibos Spicy Chai. Both turn out really good. The Red Rooibos Latte sounds good.
The first video has very good content.
