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.

Chamomile is a small daisy-like flower native to Europe and Western Asia, prized for centuries in Egypt, Greece and Rome. The dried flower heads brew a mellow, golden cup with a sweet, honey-like, apple-tinged floral aroma. Chamomile is lovely on its own and blends beautifully with lavender, mint, lemon balm, rose, rooibos and vanilla. It is naturally caffeine-free, which makes it a long-standing favorite for an evening cup, especially with a touch of honey.

Cherry blends are delicious served hot or poured over ice as a fruity summer tea.

Coconut comes from the large fruit of the coconut palm, which grows along tropical coastlines from Southeast Asia to the Caribbean. Dried coconut flakes or chips add a creamy, nutty sweetness and a soft tropical aroma that rounds out the cup. Coconut is a favorite in black tea, green tea, rooibos and pu-erh blends, often teamed with pineapple, vanilla, almond or chocolate. Coconut blends are lovely iced in summer, and they taste rich and dessert-like with a little milk.

Cranberries are small red berries native to North America, traditionally harvested from flooded bogs in places like Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Dried cranberry pieces bring a bright, tart, tangy berry flavor with a gentle sweetness and a festive ruby color in the cup. They shine in fruit blends, herbal blends, rooibos and black tea, pairing nicely with orange, apple, hibiscus, cinnamon and vanilla. A cranberry blend makes a wonderful iced tea, and a hot cup feels right at home on a holiday table.
