Tahitian Red Fruit Tea

Tahitian Red Tea was created to celebrate the “Gauguin:  Voyage to Paradise” exhibit at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  This herbal fruit tea perfectly blends pineapple, kiwi and vanilla with strawberry and hibiscus for a caffeine free tropical treat. Tart, sweet notes and a gorgeous vivid red color.

The “Gauguin:  Voyage to Paradise” highlights the essential role of botanicals in achieving Paul Gauguin’s vision of the savage, primitive and exotic.  The hand-carved woodcuttings by Gauguin made during his encounters in Polynesia serve as inspiration for the third iteration of the Jean and Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series.  In conclusion, this exhibit explores the connections between nature and fine artsWe hope this tea will remind you of this glorious exhibit long after your visit.

20 to 25 cups of tea can be made from 2 oz of loose leaf tea.

Brewing Instructions for Tahitian Red Tea

Steep this tea multiple times.  Loose leaf teas have far more flavor than traditional tea bags due to the superior quality and freshness. Tea strength is a personal decision.  Please experiment to determine your preferences.

Use boiling water and allow your tea to steep as little as 3 minutes or as much as 10 minutes. For each of the following steeps use boiling water and double the steep time.  If you do not want to drink all the tea, store in fridge for wonderful iced tea.

Store in a dry place.
