Fruit tea is that popular
The most popular hot beverages in Germany are fruit teas and herbal teas – to be precise, these are not technically teas, but rather infusions. Fruit tea is an infusion made from cut pieces of fruit and plants, which can either be fresh or dried.
By definition in the guidelines of German food law, fruit tea is a tea-like beverage as it is not produced using the same traditional method as for green tea or black tea. Plus, it does not come from the plants Camellia sinensis or Camellia assamica. In its pure form, fruit tea does not contain caffeine.

The power of fruit tea
Unlike black and green tea, fruit tea does not naturally have an unusually stimulating effect. The infusion is primarily a welcome form of refreshment and quencher of thirst. Valuable plant components may include vitamins, trace elements and minerals.
No caffeine means no stimulating effect? Not necessarily. Fruit tea invigorates the senses and quenches your thirst. If you want to avoid sugar, this low-calorie beverage represents a delicious everyday alternative. Some drink it hot, others wait until it has cooled down. Iced fruit tea is particularly refreshing on hot days.
Fruit tea isn’t actually a tea at all
Unlike black tea and green tea, fruit tea is not produced using the traditional steps of picking, withering, rolling, fermenting, drying and sorting. Depending on the type of fruit/plant, it is dried, mixed and combined. The desired result, either a pure variety or a blend, dictates the necessary steps.
