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.
