A full flavored tea with deep berry notes. The infused cup is burgundy red and provides strength and character. A terrific tasting herbal tea.
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! Live in an area that gets cold winters, add a few cloves and cinnamon sticks, simmer
for an hour and then add some red wine - a perfect mulled wine for cold stormy nights. The
hibiscus adds a tart dimension to the blend which makes it very refreshing. The currants give the
tea a distinctive fruity and tangy character. The elderberries add a bold depth of flavor with
sweet cherry-like notes.
