Growers Market is a crisp, vibrant, and garden-fresh blend that captures the essence of a farmer’s market in full swing. This unique tea combines the refreshing brightness of citrus and cucumber with the subtle sweetness of apple and the tangy boldness of hibiscus and rosehip. A surprising hint of tomato adds an earthy, vegetal depth, creating a refreshingly savory twist on a fruity, tart infusion.

Key Characteristics:

Fruity & Citrus Elements:

Apple Pieces: Apple brings a mellow, naturally sweet note with just a touch of tartness. Its crisp flavor forms a smooth base that allows the brighter citrus and tangier ingredients to shine without overpowering them.

Lemon, Lime & Orange Slices: These citrus components offer a lively burst of zesty brightness. Lemon brings sharp clarity, lime adds a slight tang, and orange rounds it out with a juicy sweetness that energizes the whole blend.

Rosehip Pieces: Rosehip adds a tangy-sweet complexity with a slightly floral and citrus-like undertone, enhancing the tart profile while supporting the fruity and vegetal notes.

Vegetal & Herbal Notes:

Cucumber Slices: Cucumber adds a cooling, clean flavor with a green freshness that makes the blend feel ultra-refreshing. It’s the perfect foil for the sharper citrus and fruit notes, lending a spa-like quality.

Tomato Pieces: A subtle but intriguing addition, tomato offers a gentle umami flavor with vegetal sweetness. It adds richness and depth, grounding the blend in savory complexity without overwhelming the lighter notes.

Tangy & Floral Accents:

Hibiscus Petals: Hibiscus gives the tea its vibrant pink hue and delivers a bold, tart punch. Its floral tang enhances the citrus and fruit while providing a zingy finish that’s both invigorating and well-rounded.

Flavor Profile:

• Brisk & Refreshing: The combination of hibiscus, citrus, and cucumber makes for a clean, sharp, and thirst-quenching sip—ideal for a refreshing pick-me-up.

• Fruity & Tangy: Apple and citrus slices create a juicy, fruity sweetness that’s brightened by the tartness of hibiscus and rosehip, creating a lively contrast of flavors.

• Vegetal Depth: Tomato and cucumber lend a savory-green balance that grounds the tea, adding unexpected richness and sophistication.

• Zesty & Crisp Finish: Each sip concludes with a crisp citrus snap and a lightly tart, floral aftertaste that lingers refreshingly on the palate.

Brewing Tips:

• Water Temperature: Use water at 200–212°F (93–100°C) to extract the full range of brisk, fruity, and vegetal flavors.

• Steeping Time: Steep for 5-10 minutes to allow the fruit and herbal elements to fully infuse. For a semi sweet flavor, steep for 5 minutes. For a tangy flavor, steep for 10 minutes.

• Iced or Hot: Delicious both ways—serve it iced for a vibrant, garden-fresh cooler, or enjoy it hot for a savory-sweet infusion with comforting warmth.

Health Benefits:

• Antioxidant-Rich: Hibiscus and rosehip are packed with antioxidants that may help protect against oxidative stress and promote overall wellness.

• Vitamin C Boost: Rosehip and citrus slices are natural sources of Vitamin C, offering immune system support and a vitality boost.

• Hydrating & Refreshing: Cucumber and citrus make this a naturally hydrating tea, ideal for revitalizing the body on warm days or after physical activity.

• Digestive Support: Tomato and hibiscus are traditionally used to aid digestion and may help reduce bloating and promote gut health.

Serving Suggestions:

• Plain or Sweetened: Enjoy the tea unsweetened to savor its natural tang and briskness, or add a touch of honey for a smoother finish.

• With a Citrus Twist: Add a fresh wedge of lemon or lime to intensify the zesty flavor and elevate its bright, tart character.

• Garnish with Cucumber or Tomato Slice: For a savory touch and beautiful presentation, float a thin slice of cucumber or tomato in your cup—especially refreshing when iced.
