Key Characteristics:

Fruity Elements:

• Apple Pieces: The apple adds a natural, crisp sweetness and subtle tartness to the tea. Its juicy flavor enhances the overall fruity profile, making it a perfect base for this refreshing blend.
• Papaya: Known for its tropical, slightly musky sweetness, papaya introduces a rich, smooth flavor that balances the more tart ingredients in the mix, bringing a silky texture to the tea.
• Blackberry & Raspberry Pieces: These berries contribute vibrant, sweet-tart notes with deep, juicy flavors. Blackberry adds a touch of earthiness and richness, while raspberry introduces a bright, refreshing sharpness that balances the sweetness of the other fruits.
• Strawberry: The inclusion of dried strawberry pieces provides a sweet, familiar flavor that ties together the fruit elements. Its light, slightly floral notes add an extra layer of sweetness to the blend.

Floral & Herbal Notes:

• Hibiscus Petals: Hibiscus adds a tangy, tart flavor to the tea, giving it a vibrant pink color and a refreshing, zesty finish. This floral element complements the sweetness of the fruits, balancing the overall taste.
• Rosehip: Rosehip contributes a light, floral, and slightly tangy note that deepens the tea's complexity. It brings a gentle, aromatic quality that enhances the floral profile of hibiscus and balances the fruitiness.

Flavor Profile:

• Fruity Sweetness: The blend bursts with the bright, sweet flavors of apple, papaya, blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry. These fruits create a deliciously juicy and refreshing base, making each sip feel like a summer day.
• Tart & Zesty: The hibiscus and rosehip add a lively tartness that brings balance to the sweetness of the fruit, preventing it from feeling too sugary. This tangy note provides a refreshing zing, especially when served iced.
• Floral & Aromatic: The hibiscus and rosehip add a delicate floral quality that lingers on the palate, making the tea feel fragrant and light, with an elegant finish.
• Tropical Undertones: The papaya and blackberry add a subtle depth, with tropical and berry notes that provide complexity and richness without overwhelming the lighter, fresher flavors of the other ingredients.

Brewing Tips:

• Water Temperature: Use hot water at 200-212°F (93-100°C), for the perfect extraction of flavors without scalding the delicate fruit pieces and flowers.
• Steeping Time: Brew for 4-5 minutes for a full infusion of the fruity and floral elements. For a lighter, more delicate flavor, steep for 3 minutes, adjusting to taste.
• Iced or Hot: This tea is exceptionally refreshing when served iced. Simply brew the tea, let it cool, and serve over ice for a cooling drink. Alternatively, enjoy it hot for a cozy, fragrant experience.

Health Benefits:

• Antioxidants: Hibiscus and rosehip are both rich in antioxidants, helping to combat free radicals and support overall health. These ingredients are also known for their potential to boost the immune system.
• Vitamin C Boost: The rosehip and hibiscus provide a natural source of Vitamin C, which can help to support the immune system, skin health, and overall vitality.
• Digestive Aid: Papaya is known for its digestive enzymes, which may help with digestion and promote gut health, while hibiscus is traditionally used to aid digestion and reduce bloating.
• Hydration: This tea is naturally hydrating, making it an excellent option for rehydration, especially when enjoyed iced.

Serving Suggestions:

• Plain or Sweetened: Enjoy this tea as is to appreciate the natural sweetness and tartness of the fruits and flowers. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a touch of honey or your preferred sweetener.
• Iced or Hot: Serve this tea iced for a refreshing treat on hot days or enjoy it hot for a soothing, aromatic experience. It can also be made into a fruit-forward iced tea blend for picnics and outdoor gatherings.
• With a Splash of Lemon or Lime: For an extra citrusy zing, add a slice of lemon or lime to your cup. The citrus will complement the fruity and floral notes and elevate the refreshing qualities.
