Berry Blossom Glass Jar

An organic, caffeine-free herb and fruit tea. The elderberries burst with bold berry flavor and sweet cherry-like notes. The hibiscus adds a tart dimension to the blend which makes it very refreshing. The currants give the tea a very distinctive fruity and tangy character that brightens with a dash of sweetener.

Hibiscus which has traditionally been associated with 'grace and beauty is a plant that is native to Africa. The calyces, which form the outer protective covering of the flowers buds are dried and used to make a rosy, citrus-flavored tea. Elderberries have been used as a natural immunity booster for centuries. Currants are very popular and have been used in infusions for centuries. It has even been recorded that in Siberia a drink is made of the leaves which can make common spirits taste like expensive brandy. 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.

For a summertime drink Berry Blossom 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 nonformal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! For children - get popsicle forms and freeze lightly sweetened with honey. An additional benefit is this 'tea' contains Vitamin C, E and K. Finally a health drink that tastes GREAT!
