Springberry
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 strawberry 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 reminds us of springtime in New England. The air is fresh and invigorating, the birds have returned to the forests and fresh berries abound. This tea has a strawberry character that is haunting and exotic.

For a summer time drink Springberry 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 Springberry 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!

Hot tea brewing method:  Place 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of Springberry per cup (and add 1 teaspoon for the pot) into the teapot. 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). Pour into your cup and add sugar to taste. **do not add milk - the milk will curdle due to the ingredients in this blend..
