Strawberry & Chilli Loose Fruit Tea 100 g

Strawberry first, then the warmth

The fruit comes from strawberry pieces and strawberry leaf, on a base of apple, rosehip and hibiscus, with beetroot deepening the colour. The warmth is the other half of the name, and it is worth being straight about where it comes from: the ingredient list has pink pepper on it, not chilli. It behaves accordingly — the first mouthful is sweet and fresh, and what follows is a light tingle at the back of the throat rather than any real heat.

No tea leaf, so no caffeine

Not one ingredient comes off the tea plant, which is why the cup has no caffeine in it at all. That makes this an evening drink as readily as an afternoon one, and a sensible thing to keep in the cupboard for anyone in the house who is cutting caffeine out.

Hot, or brewed strong and iced

Use about 2 g per cup, a level teaspoon, and water straight off the boil at 100 °C. Five minutes gives a light cup and ten a much fuller one, so brew to the strength you want rather than to a fixed time. Iced, it wants roughly double the leaf: brew it strong, chill it thoroughly and serve it over plenty of ice. It comes as loose tea, so nothing fixes the dose for you; for a jug you simply spoon in more.
