The Standard Superfruit Cup

teas.co.uk · 7 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Teapigs Superfruit tea temple
• 250ml water at a full rolling boil
• 1 teaspoon honey, optional
• A slice of orange or a few fresh berries, optional

Method

1. Boil fresh water to a full rolling boil. Berry and hibiscus pieces need 100C to release their deep colour and tart fruit; cooler water gives a pale, weak cup.
2. Put the temple in the mug, pour the boiling water over and cover with a saucer to hold the fruit aroma in.
3. Steep 5 to 6 minutes, longer than black tea. Fruit and hibiscus do not turn bitter, so a long steep just deepens the colour and flavour.
4. Lift the bag out with a gentle press.
5. Taste; hibiscus is naturally tart, so add a little honey if you want to round it. A slice of orange or a few fresh berries lift it further.
