Fruit Tea

hot comfort vs. icy refreshment

Fruit teas are incredibly versatile. In the colder months, a hot cup of fruit tea offers a fragrant, sugar-free alternative to dessert, with warming notes of berries and stone fruits.

However, when the sun comes out, fruit teas truly shine as iced teas. Their natural acidity and bold fruit profiles make them a fantastic base for summer punch, cocktail mixers, or simply a healthy, hydrating alternative to sugary sodas.

what does fruit tea taste like?

From the tart, zingy punch of hibiscus and citrus to the mellow, jammy sweetness of forest berries, our fruit collection is designed to be a “flavour first” experience.

Because these blends are made with real dried fruit pieces, you get a beautiful, deep-coloured infusion and a rich aroma that fills the room. They are naturally sweet, though many find that a touch of honey or a slice of fresh fruit helps to highlight the more delicate notes.

how to brew fruit tea

Fruit blends are hardy and need time to fully release their juices. You can’t really “over-steep” fruit tea – in fact, the longer you leave it, the bolder it gets.

Water temperature: 100°C (Boiling)

Amount: 4-6g per 350ml (use a little more for a stronger flavour)

Steep time: 5-10 minutes

Cold Brew Method: Add 10g of tea to 1 litre of cold water and leave in the fridge overnight (8-12 hours) for a smooth, crisp iced tea.

naturally caffeine-free

Almost all fruit tisanes are 100% caffeine-free. This makes them the ultimate “family” tea, safe for children to enjoy and perfect for a sweet treat before bed without the worry of keeping you awake.

They are a popular choice for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake while still wanting a drink that is full of character and flavour.

creative uses for fruit tea

Don’t stop at just drinking it! Our fruit blends are great for getting creative in the kitchen.

You can use concentrated fruit tea infusions to make ice lollies, flavour your morning porridge, or even poach fruits like pears for a sophisticated dessert. The vibrant colours also make them a stunning addition to clear glass pitchers for summer parties.

how should I store fruit tea?

Dried fruit pieces can absorb moisture from the air, which can affect their shelf life. Store your fruit blends in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

Because these blends contain actual fruit sugars, keeping them away from heat will ensure the flavours stay bright and the pieces don’t stick together over time.

is fruit tea good for beginners?

Absolutely. Fruit tea is the most approachable category in the world of tea. If you are new to loose leaf, fruit blends are a great way to start because they are familiar, delicious, and very difficult to brew “wrong.”

If you’re not sure where to start, our Fruit Discovery Box is the perfect introduction, offering a variety of flavours that show just how vibrant and refreshing these infusions can be.
