Sugar-free Japanese black tea with fruit tea [strawberry, apple, kiwi, pineapple, cinnamon]

Strawberry and cinnamon fruit tea has been added to our "Non-Sugar Japanese Black Tea de Fruit Tea" series.

This fruit tea features strawberries from GRA Corporation's "Migaki Ichigo," familiar to Miyagi residents by its jewel-mark logo.

The moment you open the package, you're enveloped in the sweet-and-sour aroma of strawberries, marking the beginning of a wonderful tea time. When freshly brewed, it has a strong, fresh acidity, but as it steeps slowly over time, the sweetness builds up. Apple, pineapple, and kiwi play supporting roles, enhancing the strawberry flavor. The subtle scent of cinnamon adds an extra touch of specialness.

You can enjoy it with strawberry sweets, or if you brew the fruit tea slowly for a long time, it becomes sweet like a dessert itself, making it perfect as an afternoon snack.

The Japanese black tea used is Benifuki tea leaves from Shizuoka Prefecture. It has a rich aroma but little bitterness, making it refreshing and easy to drink. It perfectly complements the sweetness and acidity of the fruits without overpowering them.

It's easy to make! Simply put dried fruit, a tea bag, and cinnamon into a thermos bottle or tumbler with insulation, and pour in 300ml of slightly cooled hot water (around 60℃). Boiling water is a no-go! Make sure to leave the dried fruit, tea leaves, and cinnamon inside.

While we recommend drinking it at least 10 minutes later, it gets more delicious over time, so the best way to enjoy it is to sip it slowly over half a day.

After about an hour, the acidity is still quite strong, and it might feel like it's lacking sweetness, so be patient! After three hours or more, the sweetness gradually increases, resulting in a well-balanced fruit tea.

If you prefer a stronger acidity, you can start drinking after two hours. For those who like a sweeter fruit tea, we recommend waiting three hours or more! Be sure to enjoy the pulpy texture of strawberries and kiwis, and the crunchy texture and refreshing sweetness of pineapple and apple right down to the last bite.

Also, a free BLUE BLUEBERRY FARM ribbon can be added to 3-pack sets for small gifts. We hope you will use them for casual gifts.
