Prickly Pear Green Tea

A flavoured loose leaf green tea with cranberry pieces, cactus, and orange blossoms for a fresh cup with gentle fruit and floral character.

Flavoured Green Tea Cranberry Pieces Orange Blossoms Contains Caffeine Hot or Iced
Prickly Pear Green Tea Overview

Prickly Pear Green Tea combines green tea with cranberry pieces, cactus, orange blossoms, and added flavouring.

The result is a light and aromatic infusion in which fresh green tea character meets soft fruit flavour and a delicate floral accent. Careful brewing keeps the cup smooth and limits excess bitterness.

What Makes This Blend Special

Green tea foundation: Green tea provides the blend's fresh vegetal character and gentle astringency.

Layered ingredients: Cranberry pieces, cactus, orange blossoms, and flavouring create a more aromatic cup than unflavoured green tea.

Floral detail: Orange blossoms add visible contrast and support the blend's delicate floral impression.

Hot or iced preparation: The fruit and floral profile works as a warm cup or a refreshing iced green tea.

Flavour and Aroma Profile

Aroma: Fresh green tea with soft fruit and light floral notes.

Flavour: Mild vegetal tea balanced by gentle fruit character and restrained tartness.

Body: Light with a clean texture.

Finish: Fresh, fragrant, and softly fruity.

Flavour impression: A bright flavoured green tea with fruit and flower accents rather than an intensely sweet fruit infusion.

How to Brew Prickly Pear Green Tea

Tea amount: Use approximately 3 grams or 1 heaped teaspoon for every 250 millilitres of water.

Water temperature: Heat fresh water to 75°C to 80°C or 167°F to 176°F.

Steeping time: Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain completely.

Adjust to taste: Begin at 2 minutes. Use slightly more tea for greater strength rather than extending the infusion excessively.

Brewing tip: Boiling water and long steeping can make the green tea taste more bitter and astringent.

How to Make Iced Prickly Pear Tea

Make a concentrated infusion: Use approximately 6 grams for every 250 millilitres of water.

Brew gently: Use water at 75°C to 80°C and steep for 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve over ice: Strain completely and pour into a heat safe glass or pitcher filled with ice.

Finish to taste: Add pear slices, orange, mint, or a small amount of honey if desired.

Cold infusion option: Combine approximately 4 grams with 250 millilitres of cold water, refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, strain, and serve chilled.

Caffeine and Best Time to Enjoy

This blend contains caffeine because it is made with green tea.

The amount in each cup varies with leaf quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. It is well suited to mornings and afternoon tea breaks.

Individual responses to caffeine vary. Begin with a smaller serving if you are sensitive to its effects.

Serving Ideas and Food Pairings

Enjoy it plain: Cooler water reveals the balance between green tea, fruit flavour, and floral aroma.

Pair with fruit: Serve with pear, melon, citrus, or a fresh fruit salad.

Pair with light foods: Try it with shortbread, mild cheese, tea sandwiches, salads, or lightly seasoned rice dishes.

Serve chilled: Iced Prickly Pear Green Tea makes a refreshing alternative to heavily sweetened bottled drinks.
