Blue Lagoon

BLUE LAGOON (Caffeine Free Fruit and Herb Tea) Country of Origin: Blend of various dried fruits and herbs from Canada, USA, Thailand, Spain Cup Characteristics: Refreshingly rich and tangy, this herb and fruit tea is pungent with a bold taste of lime. Infusion: Tending pinkish Ingredients: Luxury natural dried apple pieces, Hibiscus, Rosehip, Natural dried Lime, Orange pieces, Cornflower petals, Natural flavors. Information: Herb and fruit tea in some circles is considered a new type of tea. 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 caramel and fruit medley flavors combined with the natural flavors and tartness of the various dried fruits create a summertime cooler or a wintertime summer reminder. Blue Lagoon was inspired by a trip to South America and a day on the beach. The sun was beating down from a cloudless sky, the surf was rolling onto the perfect white sand, waves were crashing onto a rock promontory 200 yards away, palm trees were bending towards the ocean and we were drinking ‘capirinha’ with tropical fruit juice - unbelievable! (For your information a ‘capirinha’ is white rum over ice, dash of sugar and the juice from one fresh lime) For a summer time drink Blue Lagoon iced is hard to beat. It is refreshing and thirst quenching and not overly sweet. For formal times garnish the glass with a strawberry and a sprig of mint - for non-formal times pour it into your glass and enjoy it gulp after gulp! If you have small children use the Blue Lagoon tea to make popsicles - they taste great and contain very little sugar. By virtue of the fact that these blends are a special blend of fruits and herbs - they are caffeine free! An additional benefit is that these ‘teas’ contain Vitamin C. What could be better - a healthy drink that tastes GREAT! Hot tea brewing method: Place 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of Blue Lagoon tea per cup (and add 1 teaspoon for the pot) into the teapot. Pour boiling water into pot and let it steep for 3-7 minutes (or longer - the longer the steeping time to more intense the flavor becomes). Pour into your cup and add sugar to taste. **do not add milk - the milk will curdle due to the ingredients in this blend. Iced tea-brewing method: Do Not Pour Hot Liquid directly into a Glass Pitcher (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12-15 teaspoons of Blue Lagoon tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
