Casablanca
Caffeine Free Fruit and Herb 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! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of fruit and raspberry flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a winter time summer reminder.

This tea has a flavor that is a melody of fruits. Some of the fruits are exotic and others have a definite North American flavor. Think of a Saturday market where the fresh smells of various fruits tantalizingly blend in the air. This tea has notes of raspberry that come to the foreground.

For a summer time drink Casablanca 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 Casablanca 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!

Pour boiling water into pot and let it steep for 5-7 minutes (or longer - the longer the steeping time to more intense the flavor becomes).
