Review: Absolutely amazing! - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it organic and pesticide free?**
A: Yes. Organic and pesticide Free.

**Q: How fine ground is this? And, can you use it like a matcha tea by just mixing it with hot water?**
A: Ground very fine. I've only used it in my espresso machine. Have never tried just mixing it in hot water. Sorry!

**Q: Preferably for the Company:  Instead of wasting the grounds, can i toss them in my Nutribullet & make a protein shake for later ?**
A: The “grounds” of spent Rooibos tea is simply a fermented, dry leaf. The leaves may not grind. If you don’t mind a bit of chewy bits in your shake, they won’t be harmful; it’s just fiber as such.

**Q: Do capsules work in a Nespresso Virtuoso?**
A: This specific product listing is actually for the Ground Red Espresso, it comes in powder form and can be prepared just as you would make your coffee in any traditional coffee maker, whether it is a Drip Coffee-maker, French Press, Italian Moka, Aeropress or a professional Espresso Machine. 
We do also offer Red Espresso Nespresso capsules but unfortunately our capsules are not compatible with the Virtuo machine. 
Alternatively, we also carry a wonderful Instant Red Cappuccino Mix - all you need to do is add water and you get a rich and creamy rooibos cappuccino. You don't need any tools or machines.
