Orange Summer Fruit Tea

$9.95

A sunny, citrus tisane with summer fruits. Orange, grapefruit and lemon add zest and apple, papaya and carrot add natural sweetness without sugar.

Roselle/hibiscus gives a ruby tang; chrysanthemum gives a crisp floral finish. Each cup produces a golden, sunset-colored liquor with rosy blush and citrus notes.

Totally caffeine-free and great for all day sipping - hot, iced or cold-and great as a spritzer base.

Cautionary Notes

CYP3A4 may interact with grapefruit via pharmacokinetics (eg: some statins, calcium-channel blockers, some immunosuppressants and psych meds). Preventive medicine use: check with a healthcare professional if you take prescription medication.

Roselle/hibiscus: This herb mildly lowers blood pressure and changes blood sugar - monitor if you take antihypertensive or diabetes medicines.

Reflux / sensitive stomach - citrus / roselle acidity can worsen heartburn - brew milder if symptomatic; avoid.

Symptoms - chrysanthemum is in Asteraceae (daisy) family; avoid if you react to ragweed/daisy-family plants. Citrus, papaya (latex cross-reactivity) and carrot also induce oral-allergy symptoms in sensitive individuals. If any reaction occurs, stop using.

Pregnancy/breastfeeding - mostly food-like, but hibiscus is cautioned; seek personalised advice before regular use.
