Description

A delicious blend of natural fruits and spices that brews up a mouthwatering cup of herbal tea. Entirely caffeine free, it holds a special appeal for kids and sweet-toothed adults. Yet contains no sugar or other sweeteners. The flavor is all natural, emanating from orange peels, hibiscus flowers, apple pieces, rose hip and safflower. Highly addictive; Please proceed with caution!

Story

Orange, a common fruit these days, has a long and questionable history. Many countries claim to be its birthplace, including China, India, Burma, and Malaysia. During the Middle Ages, the fruit traveled from Asia to Europe. And then along with the conquistadors to the lands of the New World. In its new home, the orange plant became fruitful, and multiplied. Today America is the largest orange-growing region in the world, with much of it clustered around the areas of Sao Paulo in Brazil and Florida in the United States.

"I had to get this again. I had this as a sample the first time, and I blew threw it. I upgraded to a large tin of it, and have been working steadily through it. The taste is a nice tart citrus wit a bit of sweetness. I even made some of this iced, and it was great!"

"This tea is bland. I was expecting a strong sweet orange taste much like an actual blood orange, but I didn't find it here. It's not that it's a bad tea, it just didn't stand out to me."

"My roommates and I all love this one, though we add varying amounts of sweeteners to it -- holds up well to honey or sugar, but its tart and fruity flavor can be enjoyed on its own! Gorgeous color, too; I bet it would be fun on ice in clear glasses."

"This is a good tea hot or iced. My favorite iced tea is a combination of this and Adagio peach. I keep this on hand all year."

"This tea is good but very delicate. I find that if the water is a bit too hot or if you steep it more than 5 minutes it gets way too bitter and tangy. Keep an eye on it and experiment."
