Brew Guide
How to Make Organic Wellness Tea, Hot or Iced
Rosehip shells, licorice root, hibiscus and rose petals make a ruby-red herbal infusion that is tart, lightly sweet and caffeine-free.
To make Organic Wellness Tea, steep 1 heaped teaspoon in 250 to 300 ml of freshly boiled water for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain. Enjoy it hot on a slow morning, or brew it the same way, let it cool and chill it for a refreshing afternoon iced tea.

Two ways to brew it
The comforting hot tea 3-5 minutes
Slow and warming:
- Put 1 heaped teaspoon of tea in a teapot or infuser.
- Pour over 250 to 300 ml of freshly boiled water.
- Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Longer steeping gives a deeper ruby colour and more tartness.
- Strain, then drink plain or sweeten with honey.
The refreshing iced tea brew, then chill a couple of hours
Cool and crisp:
- Brew as above: 1 heaped teaspoon per 250 to 300 ml of boiling water, steeped for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Strain and let the tea come to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
- Serve chilled, or pour over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice.
Tips for a better cup
Make tea cubes.
Freeze brewed tea in an ice cube tray and use the cubes instead of plain ice, so your drink does not dilute as it melts.
Choose your strength.
A shorter steep gives a lighter, gently sweet cup. Five minutes brings out more tartness.
Any time of day.
It is caffeine-free, so it works in the evening too.
Add some fruit.
Drop fresh or frozen berries into the glass for a fruity twist.
