Apples have been grown across Europe and Central Asia for thousands of years, and dried apple pieces are the backbone of countless fruit tea blends. They brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with a gentle orchard aroma and give the infusion a fuller body. Apple pairs with almost anything: cinnamon, ginger, berries, citrus, hibiscus, rooibos and black tea. Because the pieces hold their flavor well, apple blends are lovely both piping hot in winter and poured over ice in summer.

Carrots are root vegetables first cultivated in Central Asia and now grown all over the world in many colors, from orange to purple. Dried carrot pieces add a mild, natural sweetness, a slightly earthy note and a warm orange color to the cup. They work well in fruit and herbal blends with apple, orange, ginger, beetroot and rooibos, adding body without overpowering other flavors. Carrot blends also make a playful, garden-inspired iced tea for warm afternoons.

Peach is the fuzzy stone fruit of a tree first cultivated in China thousands of years ago and now grown everywhere from Georgia to Italy. Dried peach pieces and flavor bring a juicy, fragrant sweetness with soft floral notes and a velvety, mellow finish. Peach pairs beautifully with white tea, green tea, oolong, black tea and rooibos, as well as apricot, ginger and vanilla. Southern-style peach iced tea is an American summer classic, and a fresh mint sprig makes it even more refreshing.

Pineapple is a tropical fruit native to South America and now grown widely in Costa Rica, the Philippines, Thailand and Hawaii. Dried pineapple pieces add a juicy, tangy-sweet flavor with a bright, sunny aroma and a lively tropical zing. They pair beautifully with green tea, white tea, rooibos and fruit blends featuring mango, coconut, papaya, ginger or passion fruit. Pineapple blends make a fantastic iced tea, and a splash of coconut milk gives them a fun piña colada twist.

Rose petals come from fragrant garden roses, a flower prized for centuries in Persia, Bulgaria, Turkey and China. They add a sweet, romantic floral aroma with a soft, slightly fruity finish and pretty pink color in the cup. Rose is a classic partner for black tea, green tea and white tea, and it blends beautifully with vanilla, cardamom, berries and lavender in herbal mixes. A pinch of rose in Earl Grey or a creamy chai creates an elegant, perfumed cup.
