Indian Summer Fruit Tea

Indian Summer Fruit Tea is a loose leaf fruit infusion made with apple, hibiscus, rosehip, and cornflower petals. It brews a vivid ruby coloured cup with crisp fruit flavour and a pleasantly tart finish.

Apple brings gentle sweetness, while hibiscus and rosehip create the lively tang that defines the blend. Cornflower petals add visual colour and a delicate floral accent.

Simple fruit and flower blend: The ingredient list combines apple, hibiscus, rosehip, and cornflower petals.

Naturally caffeine free: The blend contains no black tea, green tea, maté, guayusa, or other naturally caffeinated leaves.

Versatile preparation: Enjoy this loose leaf fruit tea warm from the teapot or brew it stronger and serve it over ice.

Distinctive flavour: Hibiscus and rosehip give the cup a clean tartness, balanced by the softer fruit character of apple.

Aroma: Bright, fruity, and gently floral.

Flavour: Crisp apple with lively hibiscus and rosehip tartness.

Body: Light to medium with a juicy character.

Finish: Clean, tangy, and refreshing.

Flavour impression: Cheerful fruit character with a vivid colour and a refreshing tart edge.

Tea amount: Use 1 tablespoon of loose fruit tea for every 250 millilitres of water.

Water temperature: Use fresh boiling water at 100°C or 212°F.

Steeping time: Cover and steep for 5 to 8 minutes, then strain.

Adjust to taste: Begin at 5 minutes for a lighter cup. Steep longer for deeper colour and a more pronounced tart flavour.

Brewing tip: Boiling water extracts the full flavour of the dried fruit and hibiscus. This blend does not require the cooler water used for green tea.

Make a strong infusion: Use 2 tablespoons of tea for every 250 millilitres of fresh boiling water.

Steep and strain: Cover for 5 to 8 minutes, then remove the tea.

Serve over ice: Pour the hot concentrate into a heat safe pitcher filled with ice. Add cold water if needed and garnish with apple, orange, or fresh mint.

Serving tip: Add sweetener while the infusion is still warm so it dissolves evenly.
