Information:
Herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea. We formulated this blend to accommodate tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine. What we got was a terrific ‘tea’ that is unbelievably delicious and enjoyed Hot or Cold! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of caramel and fruit medley flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a wintertime summer reminder.
Blue Lagoon was inspired by a trip to South America and a day on the beach. The sun was beating down from a cloudless sky, the surf was rolling onto the perfect white sand, waves were crashing onto a rock promontory 200 yards away, palm trees were bending towards the ocean and we were drinking ‘capirinha’ with tropical fruit juice – unbelievable! (For your information a ‘capirinha’ is white rum over ice, dash of sugar and the juice from one fresh lime)
For a summer time drink Blue Lagoon iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For
formal times garnish the glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint – for non-formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Blue Lagoon tea to make popsicles – they taste great and contain very little sugar.
By virtue of the fact that these blends are a special blend of fruits and herbs – they are caffeine free! An additional benefit is that these ‘teas’ contain Vitamin C. What could be better – a healthy drink that tastes GREAT!
Hot tea brewing method: Place 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of Blue Lagoon tea per cup (and add 1 teaspoon for the pot) into the teapot. Pour boiling water into pot and let it steep for 3-7 minutes (or longer – the longer the steeping time to more intense the flavor becomes). Pour into your cup and add sugar to taste. **do not add milk – the milk will curdle due to the ingredients in this blend.
