Cherry Stem Tea - Loose Leaf

Cherry stem tea, kiraz sapı çayı, is a traditional herbal tea from the Balkans and the Middle East, made from dried cherry stems. It brews a beautiful amber colour with a surprisingly mild, earthy and lightly fruity flavour, and is naturally caffeine-free, so it is lovely at any time of day. Loose leaf gives the leaves and flowers room to unfurl in the cup, so the full flavour and aroma come through.

How to enjoy it:

• Everyday tea: A mild, caffeine-free cup with breakfast or a mid-afternoon break.
• Slow brew: Let the stems steep longer or simmer them for a few minutes for a fuller flavour.
• Blend: Combine with hibiscus or apple tea for more fruitiness.
• Brewing: 1 tbsp per cup, freshly boiled water, steep for 10 minutes.
