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. At Tea Lovers Australia , we offer an exquisite range of fruit teas, including popular varieties such as Citrus Punch, Peach Sangria, Lemonade, Rhubarb Cream, Apple & Almond Cake, Turkish Apple, Pina Colada, and Apple Cider. Each variety boasts a unique and delicious flavour profile, e...

Tea & Herbal Infusions - TeaLovers

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 consumed by human civilizations for centuries - For the purpose of treating illness, preserving youth and maintaining optimal health. Although we may refer to herbal infusions as herbal ‘teas’, herbal infusions do not actually contain ‘tea’ (no camellia senesis leaf).The great thing about herbal infusion teas is that they contain no caffeine, are generally high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.


The earliest verbal record of herbal teas dates back to 2737 BC in China. In written history, there are records of herbal tea that go as far back as the third century AD. The use of herbal teas spread from China to Egypt to Japan, and then to Europe and beyond. Herbal infusions can also be traced back to the beginning of Ayurvedic medicine in India, where specific herbs were put together in tailored combinations in order to possess unique healing properties and health benefits for different types of people.

Examples of herbal infusions that have been used for centuries for medicinal purpose include chamomile, peppermint, liquorice root, rosemary, ginger, raspberry leaf, linden flower, turmeric, echinacea, olive leaf and many more. Chamomile has been used for thousands of years to help reduce inflammation, treat stomach pain, aid sleep and promote calmness and muscle relaxation. Liquorice root tea has been traditionally used for treating stomach pain and cough.

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, ...

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...
