Cherry Heaven – Fruit Tea

Brew & Taste

The first thing you’ll notice in the taste are sour cherries full of refreshing, sweet and sour notes.They’re followed by raisins and currant, which add a honey-like sweetness and a pleasant sour spark respectively. The finish consists of apples, grounding the overall impression, and rosehips for a hint of tartness. Lingonberries add a slight astringency and hibiscus gives it its beautiful color.

Cherry Heaven tea has a vibrant red color with violet reflections. Its taste is refreshing and fruity and despite the dominant sour cherry notes, it’s not astringent at all. Quite the opposite, it’s pleasantly sour. Whether you make it hot for some warmth and nuance or iced for some energy and chill, it’s a guaranteed hit.

Origins

At the heart of this blend lie cherries. These red fruits contain lots of vitamin C and A. They originally grew only in the mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas, but then the Roman warlord Lucullus discovered them and brought them to Italy. Today, they grow wherever there’s warmth and sun.

Raisins are made by drying the grapes in the sun. They are naturally sweet and provide a subtle roundness of flavor. They come from warm regions such as Greece, Turkey, and California.
You can find black and redcurrants in almost every garden and if you taste them, you’ll never forget the signature sour taste.

These tiny berries are so packed with vitamin C that they’re an even better source than lemons. In this tea, you’ll notice them gradually, the red being milder, the black having a stronger flavor. In addition, they have more useful properties. They expel water from the body, help with weight control, and the normal state of muscles and joints. They’re refreshing, act as an antioxidant during stress and exertion, and in addition support the normal state of the body.

Apples form the basis of most fruit blends. Late varieties have a balanced taste and remain rich in pectin when dried. In tea, they combine the individual flavors into a coherent whole.

Rosehips were well-known among our ancestors. The fruit supports the body and mind and is harvested in autumn, once it's red, ripe, and sweet.

Lingonberries are known not only for their taste but also for their sturdiness. They grow where other plants can’t thrive, in peat bogs and acidic soils. Their effects on the urinary tract, joints, and overall immunity are well known and in this blend they act as a natural reinforcement. Hibiscus, native to Africa, has an important role in this tea. Not only does it make the infusion a deep red – it also helps to refresh the body, maintain vitality, and support the normal state of the vascular system.

Here’s a tip! To get Cherry Heaven to its full potential, make it into an iced tea. It’ll refresh you, delight you with its color and flavor, and dispense with added sugar. Add 2-3 teaspoons to a teapot and pour over with 500 ml of boiling water. Leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes, then strain, and leave to cool completely. Serve with ice cubes, lemon slices, and a sprig of fresh mint. The result is a drink reminiscent of homemade lemonade, only without the sugar and regret.
