The tea is light and you can enjoy no matter the time of day or season of the year.

Origins

Where did this wonderful composition of flavors and aromas come from? It is the result of carefully selected, harvested and processed fruit from several European gardens. Our suppliers care for their products with love, so you can be sure you'll find only ripe pieces of rigorously processed fruit and spices in Sweet Meringue tea.

You might think you know everything about apples, but we might surprise you with something. There's no need to describe what an apple tree looks like. The fact it's a deciduous tree is common knowledge too. What may come as a surprise is that people have been growing apple trees since ancient Greece and sacrificing apples to the god Bacchus every year. The ancient Romans began grafting apple trees, creating noble varieties. It is said that there were exactly 17 varieties, which gradually replaced the original trees. The apple tree probably arrived in Europe after the Roman invasion, around 84 AD. Today, some 35,000 varieties of apple trees have been described worldwide, and the annual harvest of the popular fruit reaches 50 million tons. Most apples are consumed by the Dutch, followed by Austria and Hungary.

Apples are a source of valuable nutrients, including calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, as well as pectin and a number of beneficial enzymes. Apples are best eaten fresh, but are also used to make juices and spirits, and can be dried or preserved.

Pears are slightly less popular, and were considered not very good by the ancient Romans and Greeks. The dact that they have a tendency to suffer from scorch, which wiped out many orchards, did not help their reputation. Fortunately, pear cultivation has taken off successfully as part of the development of fruit growing and today there are 2,500 varieties to choose from. The fruit of the pear tree, the pear, contains vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E, iron, potassium and zinc. They also contain fiber, tannins and flavonoids. Like apples, pears are great fresh, but they can be confitured, made into jams or made into a spirit.
