Flavoured Fruit Infusions

The film Four Weddings and a Funeral contains the perhaps somewhat ill-researched line "There are 400 different kinds of tea, and that's not counting all those so-called fruit teas."

Leaving the numerical comment aside, the fact is that we do use the word "tea" very liberally - and there's nothing wrong with that per se. However, it can get confusing when we purchase a box of tea bags purporting to be a fruit tea, expecting the resulting drink to have a similar strength to tea. Somehow the boiling water splashes over the tea & we leave it for the requisite time, yet the resulting liquor is less gripping than a bad documentary.

We call ours "Fruit Infusions" to avoid false expectations - however, for any such infusion to be accepted into our list the overriding pre-requisite is that it means serious business.

 
Orange £2.49 per 100g bag
Apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peel, orange peel and natural flavour.
Though it's hard to rhyme anything with 'orange', fortunately quite a lot of things go with it flavour-wise.
Punchy citrus flavours burst out of the packet even before the boiling water gets in on the act - a sour-sweet delight.

 

 

 
Dream of Fruits £2.49 per 100g
Apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peel, elderberries, strawberry, maracuja, kiwi & raspberry pieces, sunflower blossoms, rose petals, cornflowers and flavour.
Here's the challenge: try and taste each individual flavour in this wonderfully fruit-packed infusion - it took us a while to pick out the strawberry from the raspberry, but we got there in the end.
Our most popular fruit infusion by far.

 

 

 
Piña Colada £2.49 per 100g bag
Apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peel, pineapple pieces, coconut raspings and flavour.
Can't drink alcohol in the office? Here's the non-alcoholic, infused version of one of the best known cocktails around. Warning: might cause strong desires to dance the conga with your boss or supervisor...
Seriously popular.

 

 

 

Sweet Turkish Apple Blend £2.49 per 100g bag
Apple pieces, apple pomace, blackberry leaves and flavour.
Apple bursts forth from this caffeine-free reminder of heavy laden orchards in autumn: sweet, smooth and fruity. Delicious in the evening, and a good ingredient for cooking, and for cocktails too (brewed!).
