Baccas

Berry Tea covers fruit infusions built around berries and berry pieces, from strawberry and raspberry to blackberry, blueberry and elderberry. These are caffeine-free blends that brew to a bright, fruity cup.

Our berry teas combine dried fruit pieces with ingredients such as hibiscus, rosehip and apple to give body, colour and a tart-sweet flavour. They contain no caffeine, as they are made without Camellia sinensis leaf, so they can be enjoyed through the day and into the evening, served hot or cooled over ice.

To brew, steep a heaped teaspoon in freshly boiled water for five to eight minutes. Fruit infusions can take longer than true tea to release their flavour. Serve plain to taste the fruit, add a little honey for sweetness, or chill and pour over ice for a fruit iced tea in warmer months.
