POMEGRANATE ROSEHIP

When talking about Tea. It reminds us of classic British culture in a lot of ways. It’s safe to say that the British have contributed significantly to nearly every aspect of the tea industry, from tea drinking to tea cookies. Pomegranates and rosehips are two interesting new additions to the list.  Because of its rich vitamin C content and delicious, juicy flavour, the fruit was highly valued by the first Americans. on the other side of the Atlantic, Rosehips have been traditionally harvested and consumed in Britain for similar reasons. Rosehips, with their high vitamin C content and spherical, apple-shaped interior, were a popular food item among British children, due to the disruption of transatlantic transportation during WWII, supplies of oranges from the United States and Southern Europe were cut off. They were instructed to gather rosehips from backyards to make a syrup that would be diluted with water. The mixture had a sugary flavour and a subtle floral aroma. Well, there you have it.

Pomegranates and rosehips are two fruits that the British really enjoy. That’s why we thought it was only natural to blend the two with a traditional British tea. Sweet, sour, and fruity, the aroma of this mix is enticing, with undertones of syrup, redberry, and the barest hint of rose blending beautifully with our astringent Ceylon. We’ve taken the experience of sipping tea to a new level, creating a sensory getaway for the tea connoisseur before they partake in a tea treat.
