Red Espresso : a new coffee-tea hybrid

Like many, I enjoy a good cup of espresso, and other espresso-based drinks (for example cappuccino and caffe latte) every once in a while.В  However, not everyone can, or prefers, to drink coffee. В  Now there"s an alternative called Red Espresso. В  What is Red Espresso? Contrary to the name, Red Espresso is not coffee.В  It is actually rooibos tea (sometimes also known as red tea).В  Red Espresso has been developed so that it can be a replacement for coffee beans -- so you can use it in espresso machines. В  Red Espresso produces a crema just like coffee espresso, except that the creme is a deep saffron colour with golden flecks. В  What makes Red Espresso special? Red Espresso is a hybrid between tea and coffee.В  It is more robust and flavorful compared to normal tea - it is rich-tasting, full-bodied smooth with slightly sweet, earthy undertones .В  The rooibos plant is native to the Cedarberg Mountains, which lies north of Cape Town in South Africa.В  Rooibos tea has been used traditionally in South Africa to treat many ailments, includingВ  colicky stomach cramps,В  insomnia, fever, headaches, asthma, digestion problems, and skin disorders. Red Espresso isВ  naturally caffeine free, which makes it attractive to a number of people who would otherwise skip coffee, for example pregnant ladies.В  Red Espresso also has 5 times more antioxidants than green tea, which makes it a great healthy alternative. How to brew Red Espresso Red Espresso is versatile -- you can brew it any way you like.В  Aside from espresso machines, you can also prepare Red Espresso drinks using other familiar methods, including, drip / filter coffee machines,В  the French Press and the stovetop Moka Pot. So the next time you consider stopping by your neighborhood coffeehouse for an espresso, do ask them if they have Red Espresso.
