Cup Characteristics:

Infusion:
Bold strawberry kiwi flavor, tart, full bodied Deep reddish
Ingredients:
Dried apple pieces, Hibiscus, Rosehip, Natural flavors.
Information:
Herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea.
We formulated this blend to accommodate tastes of people who wanted
to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine.
What we got was a terrific ¡®tea¡¯ that is unbelievably delicious
and enjoyed Hot or Cold! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile.
The delicious blend of strawberry and kiwi flavors combined with the
natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summer
time cooler or a wintertime summer reminder.
This fruit
and herb tea is one of our favorites. It is a full flavored tea with
good body. During the spring in the northern latitudes when the strawberries
become available they have a deep strawberry taste. This tea is like
that but tempered with subtle essence of kiwi and the astringent tartness
of hibiscus.
For a summer
time drink Strawberry Kiwi iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and
thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For formal times garnish the
glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint - for non-formal times pour
it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children
use the Strawberry Kiwi tea to make popsicles - they taste great and
contain very little sugar.
By virtue of
the fact that these blends do not contain any tea and are a special
blend of fruits and herbs - they are caffeine free! An added benefit
is that these ¡®teas¡¯ contain Vitamin C. What could be better - a
healthy drink that tastes GREAT!
Hot tea
brewing method: Place 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of Strawberry Kiwi
per cup (and add 1 teaspoon for the pot) into the teapot. Pour boiling
water into pot and let it steep for 3-7 minutes (or longer - the longer
the steeping time to more intense the flavor becomes). Pour into your
cup and add sugar to taste. **do not add milk - the milk will curdle
due to the ingredients in this blend.
Cold
tea brewing method: Do Not Pour Hot Liquid directly into a Glass

(makes 1
quart/liter)- Put 12-15 teaspoons of Strawberry Kiwi into a heat
resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the
tea. Steep for 5-7 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher
with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients.
Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. |
