Blackcurrant, Chokeberry, Hibiscus, Elderberry, Raisins, Blackberries, Dried Raspberry chunks, Natural aromaBrew & Taste
Because the Forest Fruit tea contains a lot of red ingredients such as hibiscus and raspberries, the brew has a beautiful red color. It smells, as it were, of forest fruit. Its flavor is refreshing and sour.
Origins
Besides hibiscus, all the ingredients of Forest Fruit are quite common in our latitudes. But let's take a closer look at them anyway.
Redcurrant is a small berry of a fruit bush, slightly acidic and rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The shrub grows to 1-2m, blooms with inconspicuous yellow-green flowers and fruits in long bunches. The currants fruit from mid-June to August. The berries are used in the production of jams, wine and syrups.
Elderberries also grow on bushes – the elderberry bushes. After all, elderberry is considered in traditional medicine to be a plant that can be used in its entirety. Except for the bark and root, which are mildly poisonous. Elderberry is found in clearings, woods and roadsides. It is widespread not only in Europe but also in Asia.
Blackberries grow on the blackberry bramble and are well known from our gardens and forests. Botanically, it is a drupe fruit that is used to make syrups or jams. The purple-black berries contain a significant amount of bioflavonoids with antioxidant potential.
Rubus idaeus is a plant native to Europe and Asia. It produces one of the most loved fruits: raspberries. The shrub is up to 2m tall, deciduous and characterized by rod-shaped shoots. The raspberries themselves are particularly valued for their attractive flavor and the antioxidants they contain.
