{"product_id":"ariel-grannys-garden-fruit-tea","title":"ARIEL Granny's Garden","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur caffeine-free fruit infusion built from apples, garden berries, and hibiscus – a companion piece to our Fruit Basket fruisane, with a softer, more pie-and-preserves character. Available in 1 kg loose leaf bulk – a destination format for café programs serving a year-round caffeine-free fruit position, and for hotel and restaurant beverage menus offering an evening or after-dinner alternative to traditional herbal tisanes. Serves cleanly hot or iced; the cup is ruby red, fruit-forward, and built on real fruit content rather than carried by flavour alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep ruby red cup, with a warm fruit aroma at the front. Apple leads – sweet, soft, like the inside of a baked apple pie. Garden berries follow at the middle: blackberry and black currant dark and slightly tart, raspberry and strawberry rounder and sweeter. Red currant adds a bright top note. Elderberry sits underneath with a soft winey depth. Hibiscus carries the cup's tart structure and its colour; beetroot adds natural sweetness in the body. The finish is clean, with the warm baked-fruit echo that gives the blend its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend is built around the warm, lived-in fruit character of a country garden in late summer – apples and berries from the bush, with the depth that hibiscus and elderberry contribute. Apples lead in the leaf, followed by blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and red and black currants. Beetroot bits contribute natural sweetness and visual depth. Blackberry leaves act as a soft flavour bridge between the fruit notes and the cup's base. Natural and artificial flavours round the profile. This is a fruit tea – a true fruisane, with no Camellia sinensis tea leaves and no caffeine. Where our Fruit Basket leans toward the brightness of mixed-berry fruit, Granny's Garden leans toward the warmer, more rounded character of baked and preserved fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 94 °C for 5 minutes. Fruit infusions tolerate a long steep without turning bitter – useful in service environments where timing is not tight. Holds character on a second steep for an iced tea preparation. For iced service, brew at the same ratio and pour over ice – the cup's ruby colour deepens further and presents particularly well in glass. At commercial scale, a 1 kg bag yields about 400 servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Apples, elderberries, beetroot, hibiscus, blackberries, black currant, raspberries, blackberry leaves, strawberries, red currants, natural and artificial flavours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 kg loose leaf bulk bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aliments Préparés au Québec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":44444794814515,"sku":"TARIA04TIML01F001","price":89.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf (volume price)","offer_id":44444794847283,"sku":"TARIA04TIML01V001","price":82.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/terra-ariel-grannys-garden-fruit-tea-1kg.jpg?v=1781202100","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/ariel-grannys-garden-fruit-tea","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
