Amount: 2 tsp
Water: 2 zarafina cups filtered water

Oh my did the tiny rooibos chips make a mess inside the zarafina! They escaped the mesh basket and got everywhere.
On the other hand this is a delicious caffeine free dessert tea.

Orange colored water, this is not resteepable – at least at whatever time the zarafina uses for strong.

YUM
So the Zarafina is not good when it comes to rooibos? Please, when you do get the Breville, experiment with rooibos too and see how they fair in it? I don’t drink a lot of rooibos, but, I do occasionally like to have them… but I don’t like cleaning up after them….
@LiberTEAS usually it’s OK – for example I made the rootbeer float from TheNecessiTeas in the zarafina and it was fine, it must depend on how fine the rooibos is chopped. I’ll certainly make one of each of my favorites in it! (rooibos, green, black, white)
Yeah, I’ve made several of TeaFrog’s rooibos’s in the Zarafina and not had a problem, either. I suspect this one is just very fine! Wow!
@denisend you know the little gap around the plastic spike in the center of the basket? that’s where the chippies escaped
