About Fruit tea

Fruit tea is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made by steeping dried fruits, herbs, or flower petals in hot water. It has roots in various global cuisines, especially in Europe and Asia, where it is enjoyed for its vibrant flavors and soothing properties. Unlike traditional teas derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, fruit tea does not contain tea leaves, making it a versatile option for those avoiding caffeine. Nutritionally, fruit tea is low in calories, often contains vitamin C depending on the fruit blend, and may provide antioxidants such as flavonoids, which promote cellular health. Its nutrient content varies based on the preparation and specific fruits used, ranging from apples and berries to hibiscus or citrus fruits, often delivering a refreshing and healthful beverage experience.

Health Benefits

• High in vitamin C, particularly in blends with citrus or hibiscus, which boosts the immune system and supports skin health.
• Hydration benefits due to its caffeine-free nature, making it an ideal alternative for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake.
• Contains natural compounds from fruits like anthocyanins in berries, which may support heart health.

Is fruit tea compatible with a keto or low-carb diet?

Unsweetened fruit tea is compatible with keto and low-carb diets as it contains virtually no carbohydrates. However, be cautious with pre-packaged or bottled fruit teas, as they may contain added sugars or syrups that increase the carb content.

What are the health benefits of drinking fruit tea?

Fruit teas are rich in antioxidants, depending on their ingredients, and can support hydration and digestion. Many fruit teas, especially those made with hibiscus or berries, also provide small amounts of vitamin C. However, they generally don't contain significant amounts of other vitamins or minerals.

How much fruit tea should I drink per day?

There’s no strict limit, but most people can enjoy 2-3 cups of fruit tea daily as part of a balanced diet. If the tea contains high-acid fruits like citrus or hibiscus, moderation is recommended to avoid potential enamel erosion over time.

How does fruit tea compare to herbal or black tea?

Unlike herbal or black tea, fruit tea is typically caffeine-free since it is made from dried fruits and herbs rather than Camellia sinensis leaves. It tends to have a sweeter, fruitier flavor but usually doesn’t provide the same level of antioxidants as green or black teas.
