Herbal /Fruit Tisane Suggestions

Tealyra and Tiesta Tea both have some good (and affordable) fruit tisanes. A lot of fruit tisanes have hibiscus in them, which is one of those controversial ingredients that some people just hate. But if you like that “red berries” tisane you’re probably ok with hibiscus (that’s what gives it the bright red colour, and the tartness), which gives you lots of options to choose from.

I ordered a ton of samples once from Fusion Teas, and honestly didn’t dislike a single one. I 100% recommend throwing a bunch of samples into your cart

If you can – Whittard (their overseas shipping is quite pricey if you’re as far abroad as the USA, but that’s to be expected. £19 up to 3kg, so good excuse to stock up and get the most out of that 3kg limit ;)

They have some excellent fruit tisanes. My favourites:
Mulled Wine
Turkish Apple
Apple & Elderflower

Great teas in general, actually. Also some very very nice hot chocolate if you’re into that.

The Kent & Sussex Tea & Coffee Co. (tea-and-coffee.com, more reasonable international delivery as they offer smaller parcel size – £2.95 for 350g) also have a nice range, and I’ve found all of their teas to be lovely.

You might try basic herbs used as tisanes. Sage is one of my favorites, and rosemary works well too. If the idea is for them to taste a lot like tea they’ll not work out but if you love sage or rosemary they could (or dried parsely, whatever it is). Sourcing is easy since people use them for cooking, so just down to finding decent versions of those. Dumping a spice jar contents into hot water would work, sort of, but the tisanes are better if somewhat fresh, and sage that’s a bit ground up as a spice jar version might be isn’t ideal.

I second rosemary tea. It tastes deliciously piney. I also like thyme, peppermint, or roasted barley. I make a few blends myself as well. Green rooibos and citrus peels pair well, as do dried carrot and dandelion leaf and rose petals with rooibos or honeybush. I make my own herbal chai with a base of whole allspice, cinnamon chips, cut dried ginger root, and whole cloves.
