Rooibos tea is just so 2008! Red Espresso is 2009’s take on the healthiest tea on the market! Its caffeine-free, and has 5x more anti-oxidants than green tea. How does it work? Treat it like you would your coffee – put it into your espresso machine for a gorgeous red espresso with a red creamy froth… be creative: you can make red frappés, red iced tea, and our favourite: red cappuccinos (with honey whirled on top of course)… anything you can do with coffee, you can do better and healthier with Red Espresso!
