About Bella Coola
Herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea. A formulated blend to accommodate tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine. A predominant orange character with the lovely sweetness of pineapple. An unbelievably delicious tea enjoyed hot or cold!
This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of orange and pineapple flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summer time cooler or a wintertime summer reminder.
For a summer time drink Bella Coola 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 Bella Coola 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 additional benefit is that these ‘teas’ contain Vitamin C. What could be better - a healthy drink that tastes GREAT!
Iced Tea Brewing Method
Do Not Pour Hot Liquid directly into a Glass Pitcher(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12-15 teaspoons of Bella Coola into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
Disclaimer: Use caution tea will be hot when boiled water is used.
