Sweet n' Sour Cherry – Tart Cherry & Cardamom Fruit Tea
Sweet n' Sour Cherry captures the bold, delicious flavor of cherry season in a caffeine-free fruit tea. Cherries are a classic summer favorite, and this is the best guilt-free, juicy way to enjoy them all year round!
We've blended real freeze-dried sour cherries and pomegranate arils over a base of tart hibiscus, with apple, beetroot and rose petals, then added warming cardamom and a touch of almond for roundness of flavor. Hibiscus is naturally rich in vitamin C and famously hydrating, making this an excellent, flavorful alternative to sugary sports drinks.

Apple
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.
Beetroot is the deep red root of the beet plant, grown across Europe and North America and a staple of Eastern European kitchens. Dried beetroot pieces give an earthy, gently sweet flavor and turn the infusion a vivid ruby or magenta color. They are used in herbal and fruit blends to deepen color and add body, pairing well with hibiscus, berries, apple, ginger and cinnamon. Beetroot powder is also popular in colorful lattes whisked with warm milk.
Cardamom comes from the seed pods of a plant in the ginger family, native to the forests of southern India and Sri Lanka and also grown in Guatemala. It has an intensely aromatic, warm, resinous fragrance with hints of citrus, eucalyptus and sweet spice. Cardamom is an essential ingredient in Indian masala chai, where it pairs with black tea, cinnamon, ginger, clove and black pepper. It also lifts rooibos and green tea blends, and loves a splash of milk.
Cherries have been grown around the Black Sea and the Mediterranean since ancient times and are now a beloved summer fruit worldwide. Dried cherry pieces add a juicy, sweet-tart flavor and a rich red color to the cup, with a hint of almond-like depth. They pair beautifully with black tea, green tea and rooibos, and with almond, vanilla, chocolate, hibiscus and other berries. Cherry blends are delicious served hot or poured over ice as a fruity summer tea.
Hibiscus tea is made from the deep red calyces of the roselle flower, a tropical plant grown in West Africa, Egypt, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It brews a bold, tart, cranberry-like cup with a fruity tang and a stunning ruby-red color. Hibiscus is the backbone of many fruit and herbal blends, pairing beautifully with rosehip, orange, berries, ginger and cinnamon, and it adds zing to rooibos and black tea. In Mexico, chilled hibiscus tea known as agua de jamaica is a summer favorite.
Pomegranate is the ruby-seeded fruit of a small tree native to Persia and long grown across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and India. In the cup it gives a tart, tangy flavor with a gentle sweetness, a hint of cranberry and a lovely rosy red color. It shines in fruit blends and hibiscus mixes, and it also brightens green tea, white tea and rooibos. Try a pomegranate blend iced with a slice of lime for a refreshing summer drink.
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.
