Bestselling Berry Blends

Fruit teas are full of flavour and a fantastic substitute for regular caffeinated teas. They can be served hot or cold and are also a great alternative to fruit juices and fizzy drinks, making them a tasty beverage for kids too! Fruit teas can be delicious, aromatic, and colourful, but some are also tasteless, sour, and boring. So, what makes a fruit tea really tasty?

The simple answer is real fruit. All of our fruit berry tea infusions are made with real dried fruit, including whole berries such as blackcurrants, blueberries and elderberries.

 

How is Fruit Tea Made?

 

Fruit teas are made using a wide variety of fruits, notably berries. Fruity infusions are conventionally made from unprocessed fruits. Our teas contain no artificial flavours and offer only the highest quality ingredients and fruit juice concentrates. They are naturally sweet but do not have the overpowering sweetness of sugar. Fruit Tea is made by cutting or grating the chosen fruits into small pieces and then drying them. The teas are produced by blending various dried fruits & berries, and some contain up to ten different ingredients. The skill in blending the mix is to achieve the right balance and the perfect taste experience.

 

Key Berries

 

Rosehip - Originating from the rosacea family, rosehips are the little bulbous red berries that remain after the rosehip bush has finished flowering. Renowned in the countries it grows, it is jampacked full antioxidants with the presence of vitamin C, flavonoids, carotenoids, polyphenols, catechins and other phytochemicals. The flavour is mild, sweet and aromatic, and works in harmony with other ingredients.

 

Blackcurrants - We love these humble berries synonymous with cordial and pies. The juicy fruits are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants and anthocyanins, making this humble berry a super-fruit. Because they are so vitamin-rich, they are great for boosting the immune system and also act as an anti-inflammatory agent. The best part of all is that they are so delicious!

 

Blueberries - Another 'super berry', blueberries are naturally sweet and tasty. They contain fibre, vitamins C and K and manganese. Packed full of these lovely antioxidants, they help the body to dispel harmful substances. Some studies also claim that blueberries can help with cell regeneration which can contribute to halting ageing. 

 

Elderberries - These lovely berries can be spotted all over the English countryside. In folklore medicine, elderberries were used to treat flu symptoms and colds thanks to the high levels of vitamin C. In more recent times, nutritionists have also found elderberries to contain phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins, which are all antioxidants.

Brewing time is typically 8 - 10 minutes and trust us when we say it's worth the wait!

 

• Boil fresh filtered water
• Place your fruit infusion in a tea strainer, infuser or teapot. Allow a heaped teaspoon per cup.
• Pour the freshly boiled hot water over the tea
• Steep the tea for 8-10 minutes
• Strain the tea
• Serve
