No added sugar, no artificial colour, the rosy tint comes from the hibiscus and rosehip themselves.Caffeine status: naturally zero caffeine, suits any time including late evening. Taste profile: soft raspberry leaf up front balanced by rosehip and orchard apple sweetness and a faint cinnamon finish. Lifestyle: Soil Association organic, vegan, vegetarian, naturally gluten-free and sugar-free. Planet: twenty plant-based, plastic-free pyramid bags in fully recyclable packaging from a UK family tea company.A twenty-bag Dragonfly household pack at an accessible price for the organic-certified tier, the cup brews equally well hot or cold (two pyramids in 500ml cold water overnight gives a clean iced-tea base needing no sugar), and a sensible store-cupboard fruit tea for the household. The Soil Association organic certification runs from the European hibiscus and rosehip growers through to the UK packing operation.Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature.

To get the best results from your Dragonfly tea bags and learn how to make the perfect fruit tea at home correct preparation is important. Freshly boiled water is vital to allow the dried fruit pieces and raspberry leaf to fully rehydrate. Hot Brewing Instructions for Rosehip and Raspberry: Measure: Place one sachet into your favourite pre warmed mug. Pour: Add freshly boiled water at 100 degrees Celsius directly over the bag to agitate the botanicals. Steep: Let it brew for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the botanical matrix to fully develop. Expert Tip: Add a small touch of local honey to amplify the natural sweetness of the fennel and cinnamon. The Finish: Do not squeeze the bag as letting it drip naturally preserves the smooth floral profile. The Iced Berry Mist Recipe: Why Try It: This method creates a crisp and hydrating iced tea that is perfect for hot summer days or as a sugar free palate cleanser. The Prep: Brew 2 bags in 150ml of freshly boiled water for 6 minutes to create a potent botanical concentrate. The Chill: Allow the liquor to cool before pouring over a tall glass filled with large ice cubes. The Serve: Garnish with a few fresh raspberries for a refreshing and hydrating finish that remains completely caffeine free. The Botanical Rosehip Latte Recipe: The Base: Steep 2 bags in 80ml of boiling water for a full 5 minutes to extract maximum fruit and leaf depth. The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of creamy oat milk. The Combine: Pour the frothed milk over the berry concentrate. The natural sweetness of the oat milk perfectly complements the rosehip for a professional latte with a smooth fruity finish. Brewing The Perfect Cup of Dragonfly Organic Sweet Rosehip and Raspberry, 20 Tea Bags 34g Water temperature: 100°C; fruit infusions need full heat to draw the colour and tartness from the hibiscus and rosehip base. Measure: One bag per 200ml of just boiled water. Steep: 5 minutes covered (covering keeps the volatile fruit oils in the cup rather than letting them escape with the steam). Service: Drink unsweetened, or with a teaspoon of honey if you prefer it less tart. A slice of fresh fruit makes a good garnish. Iced version: Brew 2 bags double strength in 200ml, cool completely, dilute with cold sparkling water over a tall glass of ice. Caffeine note: Naturally caffeine free. Best with: Victoria sponge, scones with jam, fresh berries, dark chocolate; or iced through a hot summer day.

It contains no tea leaves or stimulants, making it an ideal hydrating ritual for any time of day, including late evening before bed.🧊 What are the main ingredients and are they organic?This blend is a complex matrix of 100 per cent certified organic ingredients. It features a nourishing base of Raspberry Leaf (30%) and Rosehip (20%), expertly balanced with Apple, Fennel, Cinnamon, Orange Peel, and Blackberry Leaf for a rich, fruity depth.⚡ How do I brew rosehip and raspberry tea for maximum flavour?To fully release the berry aromatics and extract the Vitamin C, pour freshly boiled water over one tea bag and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. For a more robust and jammy profile, you can extend the steep to 6 minutes. Always cover your mug to lock in the essential fruit oils.🌱 Is the flavour profile of this organic tea sweet or tart?It offers a perfectly balanced sweet tart experience. The rosehip provides a bright and tangy acidity, which is softened by the herbal sweetness of Blackberry Leaf and the rounded, orchard notes of Apple. It is a clean and refreshing organic berry tea.📦 Does this tea offer specific traditional uses?This infusion is a functional source of plant based antioxidants. Rosehip is traditionally valued for its high Vitamin C content and antioxidant properties, while raspberry leaf tea is often associated with women's everyday and general daily vitality.♻️ Can I drink this rosehip and raspberry tea iced?Absolutely.

We offer fast UK shipping to ensure your caffeine free tea supplies are always topped up.🌍 How do I brew Dragonfly Sweet Rosehip and Raspberry?Pour just boiled water (95-100°C) over one pyramid bag in a 250ml mug. Steep 5-7 minutes for the hibiscus, rosehip and natural raspberry character to fully develop. Drink black; the natural fruit sweetness needs no added sugar. Excellent iced: 2 bags in 500ml cold water for 4-6 hours yields a vivid pink red summer drink. Works particularly well in mocktail builds.🏷️ What gives the cup its vivid red colour?The vivid pink red colour comes from the natural anthocyanin pigments in hibiscus flower combined with rosehip pieces.

The colour intensity itself is a signal of proper hibiscus content; pale colour fruit infusions typically have lower hibiscus content and rely on flavourings for the fruit character.🌾 How long does the box last after opening?The plastic free pyramid bags inside the recyclable cardboard box stay fresh for approximately 24 months from the manufacture date, with peak fruit aromatic character within 12 months. Hibiscus and rosehip are among the most storage stable herbal ingredients.

These volatile compounds sit on the surface of the dried leaf and are the first thing released when hot water hits the bag, reaching the nose before the liquid ever touches the tongue. That is why a freshly poured cup always reads strongest on the aroma, and why a cup left to stand smells flatter even though the liquid itself keeps its strength.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the headline components carry the weight. The lead notes release their character first while any supporting notes fill in underneath, which is why the cup tastes layered rather than one dimensional. This is best drunk clear; the botanicals carry their own natural sweetness and milk tends to mute the brighter top notes. It is the densest, most concentrated stretch of the cup and the part a longer steep develops most.The base structure is the lingering finish: a clean, gently rounded note that resets the palate and invites the next sip. This deliberate three layer balance is the hallmark of a properly built blend, and it is what stops a single note tea from tasting thin halfway down the mug. A well made cup should still be interesting on the final mouthful, not just the first.Getting it right in the cup. Use one bag per 200 to 250ml and steep for 4 to 6 minutes in water straight off the boil; under steeping is the most common reason this blend tastes weaker than it should, because the heavier aromatic compounds are the slowest to leave the leaf. Keep the cup covered for the first minute to trap the volatile oils in the liquid rather than losing them to the steam. Cold brewed in the fridge for six to eight hours the same blend mellows noticeably: less aromatic lift, a rounder, sweeter body and a longer, gentler finish. Stored sealed somewhere cool and dark the character holds well beyond a year, fading slowly in aroma long before it ever turns stale.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer steep pull more of the heavier, deeper compounds for a fuller, rounder, slightly more astringent result; cooler water or a shorter steep keeps the brighter top notes forward and the body lighter. Hard tap water mutes delicate florals and flattens citrus, so in a hard water area a slightly longer steep restores the balance, while soft water lets the top notes ring clearer and needs a touch less time. None of this is a fault in the blend, it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time. ## Recipe Ideas Dragonfly Organic Sweet Rosehip and Raspberry is one of the most versatile organic bags in any kitchen.
