After work I ran near table mountain and then headed up the street for a Tea research group. A company is in it’s trial period of selling RedEspresso, expressed Roibos tea. I was excited to check this out as I have come to love Roibos tea. It translates to “Red Tea” and comes from a tea leave indigenous to the Western Cape of South Africa. They have found a way to break down the tea leaves small enough to put through an espresso machine. Thus making, cappuccino, lattes and similar “coffee style” drinks. The drinks are all caffeine free, completely natural, and packed with antioxidants. I found the hot drinks to be just ok, if I want to drink tea, I want to drink it like TEA. However, the iced drinks were out of this world. My favorite is “Fresh Red.” It’s red espresso iced and mixed with apple juice. It’s just amazing. We each got a free package of the grounds. I plan on taking it home and experimenting for myself! I was also informed that they are in the process of selling to some coffee shops in Boston. I would just love to see Roibos in the states! Then I can stop wondering how I’m going to have it shipped to me…
After our tea, I stopped over Doug’s to say goodbye to him. He leaves tomorrow for Italy, and will be there for 19 days. We exchanged some last few photos, had some tea, and parted ways. This “goodbye” thing is getting really old.
