Cup Characteristics
Fresh oranges blended amazingly with the natural sweetness of fresh fall cranberries. This blend makes a great iced tea.
Infusion
Tending bright and coppery notes

Cranberries are one of only 3 fruits native to the United States and Canada. The other two are a variety of grape and the blueberry. Cranberries are harvested between September and October and were first planted commercially in Massachusetts by a veteran of the Revolutionary War named Henry Hall in 1816. The piquant flavor profile of the cranberry perfectly balances the much sweeter character of orange - a magnificent blend. This one's perfect over ice.

High grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva are used in flavored teas. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic Ceylon tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of most flavored teas. Natural flavoring oils are used instead of crystals to give the tea a true taste without any of the bitterness that can come from crystals.
