Bamboo leaves come from the fast-growing bamboo plant, which is native to East and Southeast Asia and woven deeply into the culture of China and Japan. Dried and cut for tea, they brew a light, clean cup with a gently grassy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of fresh green tea. Bamboo leaves blend well with green and white tea, lemongrass, mint, jasmine and light fruits such as pear or melon. Use water just off the boil and enjoy them hot or iced.

Blueberries are native to North America, where Indigenous peoples gathered wild berries long before they were cultivated. Dried blueberries add a gentle, sweet berry flavor with a soft, slightly floral aroma and a lovely deep blue tint. They blend well with green, white and black tea, as well as fruit blends with hibiscus, apple, lemon and other berries. Blueberry blends are a favorite for iced tea and can be lightly sweetened to bring out the fruit.

Lemon peel comes from the bright yellow fruit of the lemon tree, grown in sunny regions like the Mediterranean, California and South America. Dried peel gives a zesty, sharp citrus aroma with a clean, lightly bitter edge and a sunny fragrance that lifts the whole cup. It pairs well with green tea, black tea, rooibos, ginger, mint and berry blends. Lemon blends make excellent iced tea, and a drizzle of honey softens the tartness nicely in a hot mug on a chilly day.

Rosehips are the small, round fruit that form on wild rose bushes after the flowers fade, traditionally gathered across Europe and Chile. They brew a mild, fruity, gently tangy cup with notes of apple and cranberry and a warm orange-red color. Rosehips are a favorite base for fruit and herbal blends, pairing well with hibiscus, orange peel, apple and berries, and they also work with rooibos. Their tartness makes them excellent for iced tea, lightly sweetened with honey.

Tangerine is a small, easy-peel citrus closely related to the mandarin, long grown in China and now enjoyed worldwide. Its dried peel adds a sweet, fragrant citrus aroma that is softer and rounder than orange, with a gentle zesty tang. Tangerine pairs beautifully with black tea, green tea, white tea and rooibos, and it blends well with ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and other citrus. Try a tangerine blend iced on a warm day, or hot with a touch of honey.
