Strawberry-Ginger – Fruit Infusion

Brew & Taste

Strawberry Ginger tea has a light pink color and a pleasantly sweet, refreshingly fruity fragrance. It tastes just like a fruit bowl full of strawberries, raspberries, apples and oranges. Juicy, sweet and refreshing, all at the same time.

Origins

Remember this trio: apple, orange and strawberry. They'll come up a lot in this part. Not only are they the base for our delicious tea, but they’re also packed with a lot of good stuff. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

Apple; one the most common and most popular fruits in the world. It boasts a long history with humans that reaches as far as the ancient times. Their predecessors supposedly came from Asia, particularly the Tian Shan mountains – or the area of today’s Kazakhstan. From here, apple trees spread through the Silk Road to Europe, where they gained major popularity.

Apple trees, scientifically known as Malus domestica, are coniferous trees from the rose family. The tree can reach up to 12 meters in height, has oblong leaves and blooms with white or pink petals that ripen into – you guessed it – apples. This fruit can be found in all kinds of sizes, colors and flavors; from yellow to pink to red, from sweet to refreshingly sour. Apple trees are grown all around the world, but mostly in temperate climates around China, USA, Poland and Italy.

We’re well aware fresh apples are the best, but they also taste amazing juiced, pureed, stewed or used in a dessert of your choice. You can even use apples to make vinegar, ciders or spirits. But what actually makes apples so good? It’s mostly their vitamin C and fiber content, but also potassium, flavonoids and B vitamins.

The one singular best citrus? Of course that’s an orange. It comes from Southeast Asia where orange trees were cultivated for thousands of years. They were brought to Europe through trade with Arabian merchants and reached USA during its colonization. And for both it was love at first bite. Orange trees are perennial and can grow up to 10 meters. They sport dark green shiny leaves and fragrant white petals. Their fruit – oranges – are round, have a thick peel of orange color and juicy pulp divided into segments.

Just like apples, oranges taste best fresh, but they can also be used to make juices, jams or desserts. Their peel is used to create essential oils often utilized in the cosmetic industry and aromatherapy. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium and folic acid.

Finally, strawberries: just like apples and oranges, strawberries have been cultivated by humanity since the ancient times, mostly in Europe and North America. The original tiny fruit you could find in a forest has long since been bred into the juicy, big strawberries you know today. The fruit that is often grown in modern gardens is the result of combining European and North American strawberry varieties in the 18th century.

Strawberries are a very adaptable plant that can grow in most climates around the world, but they do best in temperate and subtropical weather. Leaves of this herb are trifocal, and it blooms with white flowers. The fruit is considered aggregate and ripens in summer when it gains its signature vivid red color.

Not only are strawberries incredibly delicious, but they’re also super healthy. They can be used fresh in fruit salads, desserts, smoothies or jams or conserved into sirups. Strawberry extract is a favorite ingredient in cosmetics. They’re rich in vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, manganese, potassium and polyphenols.
