Description
Pomegranate Rosehip Tea embodies a delightful blend of British tradition and botanical heritage. From high tea to tea biscuits, the British have played a significant role in the world of tea. This blend adds two intriguing elements: pomegranates and rosehips, both celebrated for their flavour and health benefits.
In 1762, London botanist John Bartram sent pomegranates to British Quakers in Philadelphia. Early Americans cherished this fruit for its sweet, juicy flavour and impressive vitamin C content, providing 40% of an adult’s daily requirement in just one fruit. Similarly, the British have long appreciated rosehips, the round, apple-shaped interiors of rose flowers, for their natural goodness. These vibrant red fruits are not just visually appealing; they pack a nutritional punch, rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and various beneficial compounds.
During World War II, rosehips became crucial for British schoolchildren as a vitamin C source. With trans-Atlantic shipping routes closed, oranges from the US and Southern Europe were unavailable. Children collected rosehips from local gardens to create a sweet syrup, diluted with water. This concoction had a faint floral taste, capturing the essence of the roses and providing a much-needed boost to the diet during those challenging times.
Given this rich history, it’s only fitting to combine pomegranates and rosehips with a robust British tea. Our Pomegranate Rosehip Tea presents a sweet, tart, and fruity aroma, featuring deep notes of syrup and red berries, complemented by subtle hints of rose. This blend marries seamlessly with our astringent Ceylon black tea, creating a fabulous infusion.
Luxury Ingredients
Our tea features a harmonious mix of black tea, rosehips, pomegranates, and blackberry leaves, all enhanced with natural flavours. Each ingredient contributes to a well-rounded experience. The pomegranates provide a burst of sweetness, while the rosehips offer a slightly tart undertone that balances beautifully with the rich black tea.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
