Fruit Teas of the Holidays

I received two lovely fruit-based teas for Christmas and they were brewed repeatedly over the holidays (oh I miss being on holidays).

 Shaktea Strawberry Banana Rooibos

Described by Shaktea as sweet and fun blend of rooibos, banana chips, pineapple pieces and strawberry pieces, this sure is a repeat purchase.

Available @ Shakea.ca online ordering or visit the store at 3702 Main Street in Vancouver, BC.

A beautiful red brew, closer to the pink than a typical rooibos. Surprisingly, the taste of the fruit is not overwhelming, but does provide a neat fun aftertaste. A wonderful treat.

Enjoyed several holiday afternoons with different home-made Christmas cakes.

David's Tea Forever Nuts

A fun gift from a tea distributor I have not heard of before. This is a fruit infusion of apples, almonds, cinnamon, and beetroot.


Caffeine Free and it seems David's Tea has three locations in the Lower Mainland. More information at Davidstea.com.

The label above was so true - the colour of this tea is surely a crazy, almost children colouring crayon shade of pink.

But it is very tasty. While it looks like tea, the taste is more like a fruit cake or jam pretending to be tea. And bonus that crazy ones like me will eat the soaked particles after drinking the tea. Deliciously enjoyable.
