About Berry Berry
A caffeine-free, herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea.Formulated to accommodate tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine.
Our clients tell us that Berry Berry is their most favorite herb and fruit tea. The hibiscus adds a tart dimension to the blend, which makes it very refreshing. The rosehip chips add a mellow smoothness to the tea along with Vitamin C. The currants give the tea a very distinctive character - black for fruitiness and red currants for ‘bite’ and tangy flavor. Finally, we added raisins to give a natural sweetness and topped this off with natural flavors to further enhance the delightful character of this tea.
For a terrific hot drink garnish with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange and instead of using white sugar try brown sugar. The cinnamon gives a lovely spice hint and the orange brightens up the berry character. Our family simply loves this combination. For a summer time drink Berry Berry 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! For your young children - get popsicle forms and freeze lightly sweeten Berry Berry, your kids will love it!
An additional benefit is 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 Berry Berry 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.
Iced Tea Brewing Method
(to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12-15 teaspoons of Berry Berry 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. Do NOT pour hot liquid directly into a glass pitcher
Disclaimer: Use caution tea will be hot when boiled water is used.
