Forest Blend Tea 50g
Forest Blend Tea is a caffeine-free, fruit-rich tea that brings the essence of a summer forest walk into your cup. Blackberry, cherry, raspberry and strawberry come together in a composition that evokes ripe, sun-warmed berries — from the first sip to the last. It is a tea to slow down with, whether the sun is setting or just rising. Each ingredient is carefully hand-picked, delivering a classic artisan fruit-tea experience in every cup.
Flavour profile
The tea pours a deep, vivid ruby red thanks to the hibiscus and rosehip base, which lends a gently tart, softly acidic character. On top of this foundation sit the full, jammy notes of freeze-dried raspberry, strawberry and blackberry — freeze-drying is a low-temperature process that removes moisture while preserving colour, aroma and vitamins. The silky sweetness of cherry and a fresh orchard-apple opening round the cup; blackberry leaf adds a subtle green-herbal finish, while raisins and Corinthian berries create a gently syrupy backdrop.
What it is for
As a pure fruit infusion, Forest Blend is caffeine-free and can be enjoyed at any time of day, including the evening. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a natural, sugar-free yet full-flavoured drink for afternoon refreshment or social teatime. It also makes a remarkable iced tea: brew it strong, chill, and pour over ice for a summery cooler. A cup served cold shortly after arriving home is almost instantly refreshing.
Preparation
Place about 4 grams of the blend (one heaped teaspoon) into a tea strainer or pot and pour 200 ml of water at 95 degrees Celsius over it. Steep for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the fruits to release their full colour and flavour. It is naturally sweet, though it takes well to a drizzle of honey or agave. For iced tea, brew slightly stronger, strain, cool and serve over ice — perhaps with a slice of lemon and a mint leaf. In winter, a cinnamon stick or a slice of ginger makes a cosy addition.
Ingredients
Cut hibiscus, rose hips, raisins (raisins, sunflower oil), Corinthian raisins (99.5% Corinthian raisins, 0.5% sunflower oil), apple (9%; apples approx. 97.5%, salt, citric acid E 330, optional ascorbic acid E 300), blackberry leaf, dried cherry (4%; cherries, sugar, sunflower oil), freeze-dried raspberry, freeze-dried strawberry (0.5%), freeze-dried blackberry, aroma.

Who we recommend it to
For those who enjoy full-bodied, fruity, gently tart tea blends and want a drink that is entirely caffeine-free. It works well for families, since children can also enjoy it. A lovely gift for anyone who loves summer berry flavours or is just discovering the world of artisan fruit teas. The 50 gram pack is a perfect introduction to hand-blended teas. It fits easily into workplace breaks, reading sessions at home, or simply an afternoon wind-down.
Storage
Store at room temperature in a dry place away from light, in a tightly sealed container. Avoid direct sunlight and humid environments (such as near a stove), as these can diminish aroma. Properly stored, the blend preserves its fresh, fruity character for many months.
