Brewing The Perfect Cup

To unlock the full potential of your twinings blackcurrant and blueberry, specific brewing techniques are key. The hibiscus and fruit extracts need sustained heat to release their vibrant colour and tart berry oils.

The Barista Hot Serve Brewing Guide

• Measure: Use one individual berry tea bag per cup (approximately 200ml).

• Pour: Use freshly boiled water to rehydrate the fruit and flower components.

• Steep: Infuse for 3 minutes for a balanced cup, or leave for up to 5 minutes for maximum berry intensity.

• Herbalist Tip: Always cover your mug while steeping. This traps the rising steam and prevents the precious volatile fruit oils from escaping, ensuring a more aromatic experience.

The Iced Berry Cooler Brewing Guide

• The Prep: Steep 2 bags in 200ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a potent berry concentrate.

• The Chill: Remove bags and allow the liquid to cool completely.

• The Serve: Pour over a tall glass filled with ice and top with sparkling water or a lemon slice for a refreshing iced fruit tea.

The Blueberry Moon Latte Brewing Guide

• Why Try It: This popular alternative method softens the tartness of the hibiscus, turning your tea into a creamy, dessert like nightcap.

• The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in just 100ml of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a dark, syrupy botanical base.

• The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of almond milk or oat milk. The nuttiness of the milk pairs perfectly with the dark berry notes.
