What is Espresso Rooibos Tea?

Espresso rooibos is made from extra-fine ground rooibos leaves, giving it an intense flavor similar to coffee, without the caffeine. The finely ground leaves allow the tea to be used in espresso machines, coffee makers, French presses, or even AeroPress devices, creating a robust brew perfect for lattes, cappuccinos, or cocktails.

Benefits of Espresso Rooibos Tea

1. Caffeine-Free Energy: Espresso rooibos offers a bold, full-bodied flavor similar to espresso but without caffeine, making it a perfect evening or anytime beverage.
2. Rich in Antioxidants: Rooibos is loaded with polyphenols that help reduce inflammation and fight oxidative stress.
3. Supports Healthy Skin: Rooibos contains zinc and alpha hydroxy acids, known to promote clear, smooth skin.
4. Aids Digestion: Rooibos can soothe the stomach and support digestion, making it a great post-meal drink.
5. Immune Booster: With minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, rooibos supports the immune system and helps manage stress.

Skin Care with Espresso Rooibos

Rooibos isn’t just a delightful drink—it’s also a natural skincare powerhouse. Brewed rooibos tea can be used as a toner or facial mist to calm redness and inflammation. You can even mix ground rooibos with honey or yogurt for a refreshing face mask. The antioxidants help fight signs of aging, while the fine grind makes it a gentle exfoliant.

• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp yogurt
• 1 tsp oatmeal flour (for added soothing effect)

Apply the mask to clean skin and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water for a soft, glowing complexion.
