We formulated this blend to accommodate tastes of people who wanted to experience a refreshing healthy new style drink without caffeine. What we got was a terrific tea that is unbelievably delicious and enjoyed Hot or Cold! This tea has a very exotic flavor profile. The delicious blend of tropical fruits and berries, sweet but soft apple characters combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a wintertime summer reminder. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are a person whole enjoys the outdoors, have a yen for traveling and trying exotic new flavors this is the tea for you. The flavor beckons you to be active - to go out and try things you haven't done in years! or simply lounge on the deck or alongside your pool (if you are lucky enough to have one) and sip a thirst quenching full flavor memory of southern climes. For a mental journey to the South Pacific sprinkle in a pinch or two of desiccated coconut as you are brewing the tea and then garnish with a slice of lime. For a trip to the Maldives (a coral archipelago in the Indian Ocean - just north of the equator) add a touch of cardamom and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Or for that matter, for a good old stay at home with the family' holiday, make a large pitcher and add half an orange (sliced) when the liquid is hot, steep for 5 minutes, sweeten and then pour over ice in a plastic glass. What you don't use, pour into popsicle molds creating caffeine free and deliciously healthy popsicles for the younger members of the family clan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy virtue of the fact that these blends do not contain any tea and are a special blend of fruits and herbs - they are caffeine free!
