Anyone else drink this stuff? After I went caffeine free, I tried some herbals, but most where way too weak or flowery. Even tried Lebanese white coffee, but dang, that stuff tastes like an ACID cigar. Looks like Rooibos is about the only option left. Not bad stuff, and from what I hear, very healthy, but it sure ain't coffee. I did have a cup this morning with a Torano 1916, and it actually paired OK.

I am down to 1 cup of english breakfast tea per day, It has a lot of caffeine though. How about Green Teas i believe they have less.

I tried Rooibos once yuck!

Does this mean you're giving up 'roasting" ? 🤔

If so . . . send me all your coffee.

David,

Have you researched "water filtered" decafs?

Knowing you . . . yes, you probably have.

Decaf coffee and teas have up to 8 mgs. of caffeine, and even that small amount I can't tolerate. Green tea is around 25 mgs. The Rooibos is 100% caffeine free. I've been using Twinings tea bags, but it's pricey. I just ordered some Davidson's bulk Rooibos and a couple extra fine infusors (reg infusors aren't fine enough for Rooibos). I may try some Honeybush down the road.

Sorry John, I would send it to you if I had any left. My drum roaster broke down a while back, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend the $299 for a new one. Now I know why.

About a week ago, we got a pound of Davidson's organic bulk Rooibos, and a couple extra fine infusers. Wow, this stuff is so much better then the Twining's bagged version, and about a quarter of the price (6 cents per cup). The bulk is also closer in body to coffee then tea. I was a heavy coffee drinker and connoisseur for over 40 years, and it's got to the place where the smell of coffee is becoming unpleasant. We really don’t miss it at all. I never thought that would ever happen.
