Apples have been grown across Europe and Central Asia for thousands of years, and dried apple pieces are the backbone of countless fruit tea blends. They brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with a gentle orchard aroma and give the infusion a fuller body. Apple pairs with almost anything: cinnamon, ginger, berries, citrus, hibiscus, rooibos and black tea. Because the pieces hold their flavor well, apple blends are lovely both piping hot in winter and poured over ice in summer.

Hibiscus tea is made from the deep red calyces of the roselle flower, a tropical plant grown in West Africa, Egypt, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It brews a bold, tart, cranberry-like cup with a fruity tang and a stunning ruby-red color. Hibiscus is the backbone of many fruit and herbal blends, pairing beautifully with rosehip, orange, berries, ginger and cinnamon, and it adds zing to rooibos and black tea. In Mexico, chilled hibiscus tea known as agua de jamaica is a summer favorite.

Pomegranate is the ruby-seeded fruit of a small tree native to Persia and long grown across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and India. In the cup it gives a tart, tangy flavor with a gentle sweetness, a hint of cranberry and a lovely rosy red color. It shines in fruit blends and hibiscus mixes, and it also brightens green tea, white tea and rooibos. Try a pomegranate blend iced with a slice of lime for a refreshing summer drink.

Senna is the leaf and pod of a flowering shrub that grows in warm regions of Egypt, Sudan and India. Brewed, it has a mild, earthy, grassy taste with a faint bitterness, so it is usually blended with peppermint, licorice, ginger, orange peel or fennel. Teas with senna are meant for occasional, short-term use only. Please read the product label before use, and check with your doctor if you are pregnant or take any medication.
