The "real fruit pieces" question
Most mainstream fruit teas use a hibiscus + apple base for body and colour, with smaller amounts of "feature" fruit (passionfruit, mango, etc.) and natural flavour to amplify. This is normal industry practice. Real fruit pieces ARE in the bag, they're just augmented by natural flavouring for a stronger tropical character. Read the ingredients list: real fruit pieces should be among the top 5 ingredients.
Caffeine
0mg.
Cautions
- Pregnancy. Generally safe in moderation. Heavy daily hibiscus is sometimes cautioned in first trimester.
- Allergies. Tropical fruit allergies (passionfruit, mango) are uncommon but possible.
- Tooth enamel. Tart fruit teas can erode enamel with daily exposure. Drink and rinse with water.
- Children. Generally fine; introduce gradually.

Curator's note: this is the fruit tea I make in summer when iced fruit drinks would otherwise mean bottled juice or squash. Cold brewed for 6 hours, served over ice with a slice of lime, better than most commercial soft drinks. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
