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...

Jasmine Green Tea: An Exquisite Scented Delight for Tea Enthusiasts

-
Jasmine green tea, renowned worldwide for its captivating aroma and delicate flavour, has long been adored by tea lovers across the globe. For many Australians, their first encounter with this enchanting brew often occurs while dining at Chinese restaurants, where it gracefully concludes a meal, leaving taste buds delighted.


Crafted by infusing green tea leaves with the essence of fragrant Jasmine flower blossoms, Jasmine green tea offers a refreshing alternative to traditional green tea sencha. Its floral bouquet and subtly sweet character create a truly aromatic, uplifting, and cleansing experience. Notably, most Jasmine green teas not only feature the scented tea but also incorporate Jasmine flower petals, enhancing the visual allure of the brew. Although green tea serves as the classic base, Jasmine tea can also contain white tea and black tea.

Delving into history, we discover that Jasmine green tea originated over a millennium ago in China during the South-Song Dynasty. Over the centuries, the art of scenting the tea underwent further refinement under the Ming Dynasty, eventually propelling the tea blend to high demand, becoming a coveted trade commodity worldwide by the early 20th century.


Jasmine green tea is meticulously made. Early spring tea leaves are carefully stored until late summer when jasmine flowers bloom. Handpicked jasmine flowers are kept cool until nightfall - The scenting process occurs at night, as the blossoms release their essence and fragrance. The tea can be scented by blending it with jasmine flowers or layering them overnight. High-quality Jasmine green teas like Yin Hao are made by repeating this intricate process six or seven times. After scenting, the tea is carefully dried again to remove jasmine flower moisture.

At Tea Lovers, we sell three exquisite varieties of Jasmine green tea – Organic Jasmine green tea, Jasmine with Flowers, and Buddhas Tears Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. Jasmine With Flowers loose leaf tea, a bestseller, features quality whole leaf Jasmine green tea expertly blended with delicate jasmine blossoms. Meanwhile, Buddhas Tears is a prized and unique blend of hand-rolled green and white tea pearls that gently unfurl during infusion, releasing a powerful jasmine aroma.

Embrace the captivating allure of Jasmine green tea with  Tea Lovers' outstanding selection, available for purchase at www.tealovers.com.au. Elevate your tea experience to new heights and savour the enchanting aroma and taste of Jasmine green tea - a true testament to the art of tea craftsmanship.

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...
