Description
Raspberry Tea
Did you know that raspberries grow on canes? These delightful berries offer more than just their delicious taste; they pack a variety of nutritional benefits. Raspberries contain powerful phyto-chemicals that may provide protective effects on health and help combat disease. Recent research has highlighted their potential as antioxidants, bringing raspberries into the spotlight of nutraceuticals. When you pair this with the natural antioxidants found in tea, you create a refreshing and healthy beverage.
Flavour Profile
Raspberry tea shines, especially when served iced. For an extra boost of flavour, consider adding a pinch of sugar. This sugar binds with the raspberry flavour molecules, intensifying the tea’s distinctive taste and creating a delightful drinking experience.
Luxury Ingredients
Our Raspberry Tea features a luxurious blend of black tea, blackberry leaves, rose petals, and raspberry pieces. With natural flavours included, each sip offers a full-bodied raspberry character that satisfies any berry lover.
Sourcing Quality Tea
We exclusively source our teas from Sri Lanka’s top three growing regions: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya experience their peak quality during January and February. Meanwhile, Uva and the eastern estates peak in July and August. This dual peak allows us to select the finest teas for our flavoured blends throughout the year.
Tea Characteristics
The high-grown districts of Sri Lanka produce teas renowned for their classic Ceylon character, featuring floral bouquets, rich flavour notes, and a bright coppery colour. We use flavouring oils rather than artificial crystals, ensuring you enjoy high-quality tea that tastes incredible.

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.
