Fruit Teas: A Delicious and Healthy Alternative to Traditional Tea

Fruit teas , also known as fruit infusions, offer a delightful alternative to traditional teas made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike regular teas, fruit teas are crafted using a blend of dried fruits, fruit essences, flower petals, herbs, spices, and natural ingredients. This combination creates a uniquely flavorful tea that can be enjoyed both warm and cold. One of the best things about fruit teas is that they are caffeine-free, making them an excellent option for those seeking a refreshing and healthy beverage at any time of the day. Most fruit teas are high in vitamin C and contain little to no sugar or calories, making them a great alternative to soft drinks or caffeinated beverages.

Japanese Green Tea | Tea Lovers

-

The concept of Japanese green tea originated through learnings from China in the Nara period (710-1279). At first it was a drink only enjoyed by the wealthy and upper class. In 1191 a Zen Buddhist monk, introduced the custom of drinking powdered green tea. At this time in China the habit of drinking powdered tea was declining and was being replaced by the method of ‘infusing tea leaves’ in water – However in Japan, they continued with the powdered tea custom and developed and perfected it, giving rise to the tea ceremony, a ritual of Zen Buddhism influence. Later, in the middle of the 17th century, a Chinese Zen monk introduced tea in the form of ‘infusing tea leaves’ into Japanese society – This was when the variety and diversity of Japanese green tea was born.

In the 12th century, a Zen priest named Myouan Eisai, wrote a book called Kissayojoki, in which he talked in detail about tea cultivation, green tea preparation, and how beneficial green tea is for health and long life. The success of his book led to the emergence of a shared tea culture in Japan, where all levels of Japanese society began to drink Japanese green tea and adopt it as part of their daily lives. Japanese green tea is famous all across the world because of its flavour characteristics due to growing region, influence of Japanese taste and level of quality and perfectionism in the manufacture and cultivation process.

Most renown Japanese green tea includes; Japanese Sencha green leaf tea, Japanese Matcha Powder (powdered sencha green tea), Japanese Gyokuro (premium quality, highly prised shade-grown tea leaves), Japanese Genmaicha (sencha leaf tea blended with toasted rice), Japanese Hojicha (a reddish-brown leaf tea) and Japanese Matcha Genmaicha (genmaicha leaf tea blended with matcha powder).

Rooibos tea is a herbal infusion made from the Aspalathus linearis bush shrub that is native to South Africa. Rooibos isn’t actually a tea in the sense that it doesn’t come from the camellia sinensis plant – It is a herb that infuses in water to make a nutritious herbal beverage. Similarly to the production of tea, rooibos tea leaves (leaves form the Aspalathus linearis shrub) are cut, dried and fermented to produce a reddish-brown coloured leaf. Indigenous to South Africa, rooibos tea is the popular drink found in most South African households and is now currently sold in over 60 countries worldwide. It is interesting to know about how rooibos tea was first discovered. In the 1700’s early Dutch settlers in Cape Town discovered rooibos tea as an alternative to drinking expensive black tea from Europe at the time.  A European botanist Carl Thuinberg who visited Cape Town in 1772, studied the rooibos plant and the tea that could be brewed from it. Following this, ...

You would be forgiven for thinking herbal infusions are some kind of supplement or medical practice. A herbal infusion, in the sense of talking about ‘tea’, is simply what we call a herbal tea. A herbal infusion is the process of steeping herbs in hot water until the water absorbs the essential oils, nutrients and flavours from the herb. Herbal infusions may consist of roots, leaves, shoots or flower petals and are primarily drunk for health and medicinal reasons, as well as for taste and pleasure. A herbal infusion tea can consist of a single herb (such as chamomile or peppermint), or can be a blend of herbs that have been carefully selected for medicinal purpose or simply great taste. Examples of herbal infusion blends include Peppermint & Liquorice herbal tea or Lemongrass & Ginger herbal tea. Herbal Infusions can also be blended with dried fruits and spices to make them taste great, as well as adding further health value to the tea. Herbal teas have been cons...

Exploring the Smoky Flavours of Russian Caravan Black Tea

    Russian Caravan tea is a highly sought-after black tea, renowned for its unique smoky flavour. This popular tea has a rich history that dates back to the 1600s, when it was first discovered along the Sino-Russian trade route. Russian Caravan tea is a blend of black tea leaves that have been infused with smoke, resulting in a dark and malty tea with notes of tobacco, chocolate, firewood, charcoal, and smoke. The story of Russian Caravan tea began when goods were carted from China to Russia via the Sino-Russian trade route. The tea was transported on mile-long camel caravans, and due to the long, cold, and snow-covered roads, the camels would often stop and rest near campfires. During these rests, the tea leaves absorbed the smoky flavour, and when the tea arrived in Russia, tea drinkers took notice of its new smoky character and really enjoyed it. This resulted in the official creation and demand for Russian Caravan tea. Interestingly, around the same time Russian Caravan t...
