Teapigs Superfruit is a fruit infusion, not a tea: it has no tea leaf and no caffeine. The base is hibiscus, with five kinds of berry and currant on top, and it brews into a tart, deep red cup that works hot or iced.
What is in it
Teapigs lists the ingredients in this order:
- Hibiscus
- Elderberries
- Currants
- Blackcurrants
- Natural flavouring
- Cranberries
- Blueberries
Hibiscus comes first on the list, and it sets the character of most red fruit infusions. Our hibiscus guide explains what it brings, and if you would rather avoid it, see fruit tea without hibiscus.
A word on the name. Superfruit is what Teapigs calls the blend. It is a product name, and we make no claims for it beyond what is in the bag.
How it tastes
Teapigs' own description is short: super fruity, and a little tart. That fits the recipe. Hibiscus is usually described as sharp and cranberry like, and blackcurrant and elderberry add a darker berry note.
There is no sugar in the ingredient list, so the cup is fruity but not sweet. That gap between a sweet smell and a sharper taste is common to the whole style, as we explain in why fruit tea smells sweeter than it tastes. For the wider family, start with our fruit tea guide.
How to make it hot
Teapigs' directions are one tea temple per person, boiling water, and three minutes or more. The maker adds that whole fruit takes longer to brew than leaf, so do not rush it. A longer brew gives a deeper colour and a sharper cup.
Like most fruit infusions, it is drunk without milk.
How to make it iced
Fruit infusions are among the easiest drinks to serve cold, because there is no tea leaf to turn bitter. The simple method:
- Brew two temples in a mug of boiling water for five minutes or more, so the drink is strong.
- Take the temples out and let the mug cool.
- Pour over a tall glass of ice and top up with cold water.
For a jug, scale it up and chill it in the fridge. Sweeten it if you like, since the brew itself has no sugar. Our guide to making iced tea has the general method.
The 50 pack
We stock Teapigs Superfruit in the 50 temple pack, which weighs 125g. That works out at 2.5g of fruit in each temple. It is the size to buy once you know you like it, or if a household gets through a few cups a day.
Teapigs also sells the blend in smaller boxes and loose on its own site. If you want to try a Teapigs fruit blend in a small box first, we stock Teapigs Strawberry and Juniper in a 15 temple box. The rest of the range is covered in our guide to the best Teapigs teas, and everything similar is on the fruit and herbal shelf.
