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 cranberry, fruit and apple flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a winter time summer reminder.

If you are a skier or enjoy evenings in a rustic cabin around a roaring fireplace, put a pot of this tea on. After it has brewed pour into 3 quart cooking pot, add a bottle of deep full flavored red wine, a couple slices of orange and a stick of cinnamon, about 10 cloves - simmer for 15 minutes - add sugar to taste - now you have the perfect gluwien - Incredible!

For a summer time drink Cranberry Apple iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For formal times garnish the glass with a slice of orange and a stick of cinnamon - for non formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Cranberry Apple 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!
