Fruit infusions

Fruit Tea UK, every berry, peach, citrus and tropical infusion.

Fruit teas are technically fruit infusions, not tea, they contain no Camellia sinensis leaf. The base is usually a mix of dried fruit, hibiscus, rosehip, and apple, with flavour notes layered on top (berry, peach, citrus, tropical). They are caffeine-free, naturally sweet from the fruit sugars, and brew well both hot and iced. Twinings dominates the supermarket end (Superfruity, Lemon Drizzle); Teapigs and Pukka own the premium tier; Tetley Super Fruit is the value option. Most fruit teas keep well for 18+ months because dried fruit is shelf-stable.

5 questions

Common questions

Is fruit tea actually tea?

No. "Fruit tea" is the everyday name for fruit-and-herb infusions, there is no Camellia sinensis (true tea) leaf in them. They are correctly called fruit infusions or tisanes. The base is usually a mix of hibiscus, rosehip, dried apple, and dried fruit pieces with added flavours.

Are fruit teas caffeine-free?

Yes, the proper ones are 100% caffeine-free. Some "fruit tea" blends do include green or black tea as a base, check the ingredients on the box. We label every product clearly so you know which.

Are fruit teas good for you?

They are hydrating and largely sugar-free (the natural sweetness comes from dried fruit, no added sugar in most). The hibiscus and rosehip provide modest amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants. They are not "detox", that is marketing, but they are a fine alternative to fruit juice for a sweet-tasting drink.

How do you make iced fruit tea?

Brew double-strength (2 tea bags or 4g loose per 200ml hot water), let cool 10 minutes, pour over ice in a tall glass. Adding fresh fruit slices (lemon, orange, berries) lifts it. Many fruit teas work well as cold-brew, leave 2 tea bags in 1 litre of cold water in the fridge overnight for a softer, less acidic version.

What is the best fruit tea in the UK?

For everyday cups, Twinings Superfruity (the supermarket benchmark, well-priced). For step-up quality, Teapigs Super Fruit Tea (whole pieces of dried fruit, no flavourings, very clean cup). For organic, Pukka Berry Beautiful or Three Berry. Tetley Fruit Tea range is the value option.
