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, ensuring there's a fruit tea for everyone.

One of our most loved blends is Citrus Punch Fruit Tea, an exciting mix of orange and passion fruit, rich in vitamin C and perfect for any time of day. Our Pina Colada Fruit Tea is inspired by the classic Caribbean cocktail and features tropical notes of pineapple and coconut, making it ideal for a refreshing summer mock tail served over ice.

When brewing fruit teas, keep the following tips in mind:

For a warm cup of fruit tea, use 2 teaspoons per 300ml of boiling water and steep for around 5 minutes. For a larger batch, use 3 tablespoons per 1 litre of water and brew for 10-15 minutes. Fruit tea cannot be over-brewed, so you can let it steep for up to 15 minutes or even longer, depending on your desired strength and flavour. Once brewed, let the tea cool in the fridge, and then serve it over ice with fresh-cut fruits for a refreshing summer beverage.

If you find some fruit teas a little sour due to the hibiscus content, you can sweeten them with a bit of honey. Fruit teas also make a great addition to cocktails (serve them with white spirits and soda over ice) or can be enjoyed on their own as a delicious non-alcoholic mocktail.

In summary, fruit teas are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional teas, offering unique and flavorful blends of fruits, herbs, and spices. At Tea Lovers Australia, we provide an extensive range of exquisite fruit teas, perfect for any occasion.

Rooibos & Herbal Infusions Tea - Tealovers.com.au

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...
