INFORMATION:
Fruit Cake is a holiday staple that people either love or hate. If every year you look forward to a fresh slice of fruit cake during the holidays, this Herb + Fruit tea is a delicious replication of the baked delicacy. If you scorn and avoid fruit cake at all costs, we still encourage you to give this tea a chance! It's full of harvest berries and autumnal fruits with layers of caramel and hazelnut flavor. Sweet aromas of blueberries and currants flow from the cup. Each sip offers bold fruity flavor that is sweet with tangy notes and creates a dense yet bright character to the tea. The toasted bakey quality of the rooibos resembles the base of a fruit cake and creates a nutty character. The longer you steep this tea, the more flavourful it becomes.

The fruit in our fruit cake tea is no mystery. We've blended real pieces of dried elderberries, currants, apples, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries for an all-natural, authentic fruit forward flavor. Hibiscus and rosehip offer an acidic character that pays homage to the optional alcohol often added to make the cake extra moist and prolong its shelf life. We recommend adding a dash of sugar to brighten and sweeten the cup. You can also garnish with a stick of cinnamon, a handful of cloves, or some star anise to add a rich spiciness that compliments the fruity flavors.

This Herb + Fruit Tea truly captures the essence of this moist, leavened dessert studded with nuts and fruits. Recipes for fruit cake date all the way back to the Roman Empire, and this if our addition to that tradition passed down for generations and all across the world.
