What is Ground Rooibos and why is it unique?

Ground rooibos is not just ground-up tea. It is a carefully selected, high-quality rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) sourced from the Cederberg mountains in South Africa. Through a unique and refined grinding process, this rooibos behaves exactly like ground coffee beans in your espresso machine, moka pot, or French press.

The result? A deep, ruby-red extraction with a delicious crema layer, intense flavor, and a natural sweetness. It is the ultimate way to enjoy a barista-worthy drink, without the downsides of caffeine.

The health benefits of Rooipresso® Ground Rooibos

Choosing ground rooibos from Rooipresso® is a choice not only for flavor but also for your overall well-being. Our 100% pure rooibos is packed with natural powerhouses:

Naturally 100% caffeine-free: Unlike decaf coffee (which undergoes a chemical process), rooibos contains zero caffeine by nature. Ideal for the evening, for children, and completely safe during pregnancy.
Unique, powerful antioxidants: Rooibos contains aspalathin and nothofagin. These two powerful flavonoids are not found anywhere else in nature and help protect your cells and support your natural immunity.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: Every cup is a little moment of wellness, rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and iron.
Does not inhibit iron absorption: Regular coffee and black/green tea contain many tannins that can inhibit the absorption of iron from your food. Rooibos is very low in tannins, keeping your mineral absorption optimal.

How to prepare the perfect Rooibos Espresso?

The great advantage of Rooipresso® Ground rooibos is its versatility. You simply use it in the machines you already have in your kitchen.

Preparation methods for the Home Barista:

Espresso machine / Piston machine: Use 8 grams for a single shot or 16 grams for a double shot. Important tip from the barista: Tamping is not necessary, or do it very lightly. The grind has been specially developed to achieve the perfect flow this way.
Moka Pot / Percolator: Fill the filter basket loosely with the ground rooibos and let it percolate as you normally would.
French Press / Cafetière: Let the ground rooibos steep for a few minutes and slowly press the filter down for a full, aromatic drink.

Inspiration & Serving Tips

The Rooicino: Add warm, frothed (plant-based) milk foam to your rooibos espresso. Delicious with a pinch of cinnamon and a small spoonful of honey.
Iced Rooi Latte: Perfect for hot summer days. Pour a double shot of rooibos espresso over a glass with ice cubes and cold oat or cow's milk.
Pure & Powerful: Drink it pure as an espresso to taste the soft, rich tones of the South African sun directly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ground Rooibos

How long does a 250-gram bag last?
Depending on your personal dosage (a single shot of 8g or a double shot of 16g), you can get between 15 and 30 delicious Rooipresso® moments from one package.

Is ground rooibos safe for my espresso machine?
Yes, absolutely. Our rooibos is ground to a specific, constant microscopic size using a unique formula. As a result, it behaves exactly like fine coffee in the machine, without causing blockages.

Do I need to tamp the filter basket?
No, for the best result, we recommend not tamping the ground rooibos, or tamping only very lightly. Because its structure differs from coffee beans, the machine achieves perfect extraction without hard tamping.

How long does ground rooibos stay fresh?
In the original, tightly sealed packaging, the rooibos remains good for at least 2 years while retaining its flavor and aromas.
