David's Tea recently launched a collection of Tea Espresso products that offer flavorful alternatives to coffee. These premium tea products are micro-ground for use in espresso machines and may be enjoyed as hot or cold beverages in a matter of minutes. The Tea Espresso Collection includes two high-caffeine options—Cocoa Cinnamon Toast and Organic London Fog—as well as a caffeine-free Rooibos Chai for those who are looking for a [sweet, comforting and spicy beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cha).

There are numerous ways to prepare these [tea-based espressos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-concentrates) at home, such as by using an espresso machine, a stovetop espresso maker or a French press. No matter which method one chooses, the Tea Espressos are best topped off with frothed milk for added taste and texture.
