Organic elderberries celebrated in European tradition for thousands of years, rosehips naturally rich in vitamin C, and vibrant hibiscus flowers come together in a fruity, ruby-red cup that tastes just as extraordinary iced as it does hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElderberries have been used in Europe as a super herb over thousands of years. This is not a new discovery — this is one of the oldest, most revered berries on the continent. And when our founder set out to build a tea around elderberry, the question was never if — it was who to pair it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer turned out to be two of the most naturally complementary fruits in the herbal world: rosehip and hibiscus. Rosehip is known to have very high vitamin C — fourteen times more vitamin C than an orange, according to published botanical references. Hibiscus brings a tangy brightness and that unmistakable deep ruby color that makes every cup feel special before you even take the first sip. Then chamomile flowers soften the whole blend into something mellow and inviting, and a touch of stevia leaf rounds it out with clean, natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a tea that our customers ranked number three in our entire lineup for taste — and that is saying something, because our lineup has some serious competition. People reach for this tea because it is genuinely refreshing. It is fruity without being sugary. It is tart without being sharp. It is beautiful in the cup. And it works in ways most teas do not — hot on a winter evening, iced on a summer afternoon, mixed with lemonade at a backyard gathering, or brewed as sun tea in a glass jar on your porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the most fun tea we make.
