What is fruit tea?
Quick Answer
Fruit tea is a caffeine-free infusion made from dried fruit pieces, rather than tea leaves, technically not "tea" at all, but a fruit infusion (or tisane).
A Little More
Because there's no actual tea plant involved, fruit teas are naturally caffeine-free, making them a lovely option any time of day, including evenings. They tend to be vibrant, fruity, and often work brilliantly served cold as an iced tea, since the flavours hold up well over ice.
Teaspoon Tip
Fruit teas are one of the best iced tea bases — brew double strength, cool, and pour over ice for a refreshing summer drink.
