Strawberry and Kiwi Fruit Infusion Loose Leaf Fruit Tea

🍵 The Fruit — Real strawberry and kiwi pieces blended with rosehip and hibiscus, creating a naturally vibrant caffeine free loose leaf fruit infusion with genuine fruit character throughout

🍵 The Colour — A rich, jewel-red cup with a tangy-sweet aroma that fills the room as it brews, bright and inviting from the very first pour

🍵 The Flavour — Rounded strawberry sweetness meets the sharper, fresher edge of kiwi, with rosehip and hibiscus adding a pleasing tartness and depth that keeps each sip lively

Strawberry and kiwi fruit infusion is one of the most naturally appealing loose leaf fruit teas you can brew — a caffeine free blend that delivers genuine fruit character, a rich red cup, and a flavour that balances sweetness with just enough tartness to stay interesting from first sip to last.

The strawberry brings a soft, rounded sweetness — familiar and comforting — while kiwi adds a fresher, slightly sharper note that lifts the blend and gives it an exotic edge. These two fruits are well matched, each complementing what the other brings to the cup. Rosehip and hibiscus complete the quartet, deepening the colour to a vivid ruby red and contributing the pleasing fruity sharpness that sets a well-made fruit infusion apart from something merely sweet.

Rosehip has been valued in Britain for centuries. During the Second World War, when citrus fruits became scarce, rosehip syrup was gathered and distributed across the country as a natural source of vitamin C — a role the fruit had quietly played in traditional herbalism for far longer. Hibiscus, meanwhile, has its own long heritage in African and Middle Eastern cultures, where it has been brewed as a refreshing, tart drink known as karkade for generations. Together in this blend, they bring both colour and depth to the strawberry and kiwi at the heart of it.

This is a wonderfully versatile infusion. Brewed hot, it is warming and comforting with a fragrant, fruity steam. Left to cool and poured over ice, it makes a genuinely refreshing cold drink — one that holds its flavour and colour beautifully. Many people also find it a satisfying choice in the evening, when a full-flavoured caffeine free loose leaf fruit tea is exactly what the moment calls for.

Since 2008, High Teas London has been one of the country's leading independent tea specialists, building a collection of over 350 teas and infusions that is among the largest in the country. This fruit infusion sits naturally in that range — approachable, flavourful, and genuinely worth returning to.

Ingredients: Strawberry pieces, kiwi pieces, rosehip, hibiscus.

Brewing Note: Use freshly boiled water at 100°C and steep for 5 to 8 minutes — longer steeping will deepen both the colour and the tartness, so adjust to taste. This infusion needs no milk and is delicious as it comes, though a small amount of honey can soften the edge of the hibiscus if you prefer a slightly sweeter cup. For an iced version, brew it double strength with a little less water, then pour directly over ice. The rich red colour makes it particularly striking served this way, with a slice of lemon or a few fresh strawberries alongside if you like.

🍵 The Occasion — Equally at home as a warming evening brew or served chilled over ice on a summer afternoon — a fruit infusion that suits any mood and any time of day
