Tea is the soul of fruit tea. Different teas will give fruit tea different flavors and effects. Green tea is fresh and refreshing, suitable for pairing with fruits such as pineapple and mango, such as pineapple green tea, which can bring a sour, sweet and refreshing taste; black tea is mellow and rich, and paired with fruits such as apples and oranges, such as apple orange oolong tea, it will have a warm fruity aroma; oolong tea is between the two, paired with fruits such as peaches, such as peach oolong tea, it has both the fragrance of tea and the sweetness of fruit.

The secret of production process

Making mixed fruit tea may seem simple, but there are actually many tricks involved. Take fruits for example. You have to wash them first and then cut them into appropriate sizes so that the juice and aroma can come out better. For example, lemons have to be cut into slices with the skin on, because the lemon skin contains a lot of volatile oils, which can make the fruit tea smell more fragrant. For mangoes and apples, you have to peel the skin, remove the core, and then cut them into pieces.

Next, it's time to brew. Different teas require different water temperatures and brewing times. Green tea should be brewed with water at around 80°C for 2 to 3 minutes, which will preserve the fresh taste and nutrition of green tea to the greatest extent; black tea is suitable for brewing with water at 90 to 95°C for 3 to 5 minutes, which can stimulate the aroma and mellow taste of black tea; oolong tea must be brewed with hot water above 95°C, and the brewing time can be adjusted according to personal taste, generally 3 to 5 minutes.

Generally speaking, the taste of fruit tea is most balanced after steeping for about 10-15 minutes. If you like a stronger fruit flavor, you can extend the steeping time appropriately, but it is best not to exceed 30 minutes.
