Combine herbs for interesting combinations with your Australian Fruit Tea. Good - - options include: chamomile or alfalfa and mint; lemon herbs (like lemon verbena, lemongrass, lemon balm) and mints; sage and lemon herbs; peppermint and elder flowers; hibiscus and lemon verbena (one of my favourites with Australian Fruit Tea Blackberry & Orange) or rosehips; alfalfa and mint; clover and spearmint; licorice root or spearmint and rosemary.
Other good combos include any Australian Fruit Tea and your favourite fruit juice ie apple juice; - raspberry tea and orange juice; and lStrawberry tea with avender and mint and grape juice.
Use iced teas to boost your immunity or address health - issues. Sipping iced teas throughout the day is a great way to reap the most health benefits from the herbs.
Include spices in your teas for added depth. Cinnamon, - cloves, cardamom, allspice, and ginger are good bets.
Citrus enlivens almost any iced tea. Use fresh lemon or - lime juice, slices, or peels, and/or granulated lemon.
Chill your serving glasses ahead of time, and prop a piece of - fruit (a strawberry, lime, orange, or lemon slice) on the edge.
Add frozen fruit to your drink. Whole strawberries, - raspberries, or blueberries are fun.
Add edible flowers (organic violets, nasturtiums, rose petals, - and scented geraniums, for example) to your ice cubes.
Of course, all teas are delicious iced! (You may want to pour any leftover warm tea into a pitcher in the refrigerator
to serve iced another time.)
To dissolve your sweetener, you can make a syrup by - cooking the honey (please - not sugar) in a bit of water (or juice) and stirring for a minute or two. Then add the syrup directly to the batch of summer tea, once brewed.
Serve herbal iced teas with complimentary treats,
- like lavender cakes or cardamom scones, anise cookies
or gingersnaps.
Have lots of fun this summer and keep safe and make lots of time to love your family and friends over a cup of Australian Fruit Tea.

Phenols in tea are responsible for its antioxidant activity. The pure catechins and phenolic acids found in tea are more powerful than the antioxidant vitamins C, E and β-carotene in an in vitro lipoprotein oxidation model. Comparison of the tea fractions indicated that both catechins and theaflavins contribute to the teas’ antioxidant characteristics. Black and green teas were not significantly different in phenol content, in antioxidant strength as measured by IC50, or in antioxidant potential as measured by the phenol antioxidant index (PAOXI). The PAOXI of teas was significantly higher than grape juices and wines. Tea catechins and both green and black tea exhibited potent lipoprotein-bound antioxidant activity. Phenol antioxidants from tea were calculated to be a large source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet.

Australian Fruit Tea Company presents the best fruit tea I have ever tasted from our Executive Chef Tania Luggan. My favourites are the citrus flavours they are just superb!

My family have been enjoying your Blackberry & Orange tea from Woolworths and I have to tell you its magnificent. NEVER stop stocking it at Woolworths where I shop.

Well, I am afraid Janice we dont have a lot of say about that - but I can tell you that if you keep buying it and also tell your friends about it - I am sure it will stay there.

Australian Fruit Tea will launch its first children’s tea in 2009. Launched with the true story of Ben. All you Jack Russell lovers - you will just love the tea AND the stories.

Cant you serve your wonderful teas on Virgin Blue? Many a flight home I would really enjoy one of your cuppa’s.

We have been looking for a tea like yours for sooo… long. We used to drink similar teas in Europe and loved them and just have not been able to find anything like it in supermarkets in Australia.

You really should do some advertising as had I known about them sooner I surely would have been drinking them long ago. Anyway, your tea is absolutely delicious, just wanted to let you know.
