Fruit Tea, in a word…DELICIOUS! It is made from brown shredded quince which has been dried in an oven, grilled until it is brown then stored. It is steeped in boiling water which produces a tea of such aroma and taste it is like sipping a gift from the heavens themselves.

Quince comes from a small tree and is a fruit that resembles a pear or an apple. It is hard and bitter to the taste and is most often eaten after it has undergone both considerable ripening time on the tree as well as having gone through one frost period to soften it up. 

Fruit teas are not teas in the normal sense of the word; they are better defined as hot water infused with a flavour, as opposed to something which has been dissolved in hot water. In the tea industry they are referred to as tisanes. 

Pretty much any fruit can be used to make a fruit tea, the choices are only as limited as the people making them. Thus, it is very easy to find the perfect flavour for yourself. We at Eco-Place believe we have found the perfect combination for you. Our fruit tea seems to be a flavourful hit with all who drink it!

Another thing that adds to the beauty of fruit teas is that they can be drunk hot or cold and they have no caffeine, a benefit for those who want a tasty, refreshing drink without the buzz!

One more benefit of fruit teas is that they contain vitamin C, as we all know, an important part of a healthy diet.
