Benefits of Fruit Tea
Fruit teas are packed with flavour and will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings any time of the day. Not only are fruit teas ultra-hydrating, but they will not dehydrate you like some other drinks.
One of the main benefits of drinking berry-infused teas is that they contain antioxidants. These antioxidants possess a wide range of health benefits, including strengthening the immune system, improving complexion, reducing ageing effects, and more. In addition, fruit brews are often high in Vitamin C, which comes with many benefits such as regulating blood pressure, a healthier heart and more. We also believe drinking fruit tea is a relaxing and tasteful experience. We think everyone can enjoy the delicious fruity tastes and experience of drinking fruit teas.
Fruit teas can be an excellent drink for children as they can experience a wide range of flavours without added sugar. Fruit teas can replace squash, pop and other sugary drinks and be sweetened with honey if necessary.
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. They are 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; some contain up to ten different ingredients. The skill in blending the mix is to achieve the right balance and the perfect taste experience.
Best Berries for Fruit Teas
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 with these lovely antioxidants, they help the body 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 recent times, nutritionists have also found elderberries to contain phenolic acids, flavonoids and anthocyanins, all antioxidants.
Cranberries:
These little tart berries are another super berry full of vitamins, including vitamin C, an antioxidant, manganese which helps metabolism, vitamin E, vitamin K1 and trace elements of copper that can promote a healthy heart.
