Fruit Teas: A Delicious and Healthy Alternative to Traditional Tea

-
Image
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...

Shop Delicious and Organic Rooibos Tea - Tea Lovers

Rooibos tea is one of the most popularly consumed beverages in South Africa. Rooibos tea is indigenous to South Africa, produced from the Aspalathus linearis plant, grown in a mountainous region north of Cape York which receives significant rainfall periods. Rooibos tea has many wonderful and unique health benefits - As well as being naturally caffeine free, it is packed full of powerful antioxidants such as aspalathin and quercetin, associating it with cancer fighting benefits, as well as heart health and bone health benefits. Rooibos tea is also said to be high in vitamins and minerals such as calcium, manganese, magnesium and iron – giving it great relaxation properties and its reputation as the herbal ‘relaxation tea’.

Rooibos tea is made by fermenting leaves from the shrub ‘Aspalathus linearis’ – During the fermentation process the leaves turn a red-brown colour. You can also source green rooibos tea, a non fermented variety, which has a grassier flavour and tends to be a more expensive product. Unflavoured rooibos tea has a unique woody earthy sweetness and is well enjoyed as a black tea alternative - commonly served with milk and sugar.

Tea lovers Australia sells a wide range of delicious Rooibos Tea. Tea Lovers sells high grade Organic Rooibos Tea (unflavoured) as well as many delicious flavoured Rooibos Tea varieties. Tea Lovers popular flavoured Rooibos tea includes; Rooibos Blueberry Cheesecake, Rooibos Strawberries & Cream, Rooibos Chocolate & Truffle, Rooibos Orange Spiced Chai, Rooibos Dragonfruit & Ginger, Rooibos Chai, Rooibos Cream (caramel & vanilla) and many more delicious flavours to choose from. 

Similarly to most herbal teas, rooibos tea should be brewed at 95°C (just off the boil) for 1-3 mins depending on desired strength.


It is always best to brew rooibos tea with a fine micro mesh infuser, as its leaves are small and can seep through infusers with larger brewing holes.  1 heaped tsp of loose rooibos tea per 250ml of water is a general brewing guide. Rooibos tea can be served with or without milk, sweetened with honey or sugar, and dressed with lemon – to suit your desired taste. Unflavoured rooibos tea can also be served chilled over ice, sweetened with sugar if desired and dressed with mint and fresh lemon slices.

Tea Lovers also sell some great flavoured rooibos varieties that make for excellent herbal iced teas – Flavours such as; Rooibos Raspberry, Rooibos Blueberry Cheesecake, Rooibos Lemon, Rooibos Mango and Rooibos Strawberries & Cream. Because these rooibos blends are already naturally flavoured with dried fruits, vanilla and fruit essences – there is no need to add extra sweeteners, just serve chilled over ice with fresh cut fruits.

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...
