Harney & Sons Blood Orange Loose-Leaf Fruit Tea — 16 oz Caffeine-Free, Hibiscus & Apple

Harney & Sons Blood Orange is a 16 oz loose-leaf, caffeine-free fruit tea that layers dried apple, hibiscus and citrus notes to produce a bright, aromatic orange infusion ideal hot or iced.

Inspired by European fruit-tea traditions, this blend pairs natural fruit pieces and floral petals with blood orange, raspberry and grapefruit flavoring to deliver a vivid, crimson-hued brew. The one-pound pouch supplies multiple servings so you can adjust strength and steeping style for different occasions — from a cooling pitcher for summer to a warming cup on cool mornings.

What ingredients create the blood orange flavor?

The blend centers on dried apple pieces and citrus elements that combine with hibiscus, rose hips and natural fruit flavors to recreate blood orange’s tangy-sweet profile. Safflower and marigold petals add color while beet root deepens the red-orange hue.

• Apple pieces and orange peel for fruity body
• Hibiscus and rose hips for tartness and color
• Beet root, safflower, marigold petals for visual warmth
• Natural raspberry and grapefruit flavor accents

How should I brew it for the best taste?

Because this is a 100% herbal, caffeine-free infusion, it doesn’t require volatile temperatures; boiling water yields a full extraction while slightly cooler water preserves delicate fruit notes. Steep time and leaf quantity are flexible — increase leaves or steep longer for a stronger cup, reduce for a lighter, more floral sip.

• Hot brew: use freshly boiled water, steep 5–7 minutes
• Iced brew: double the leaves, steep 7–10 minutes, cool and pour over ice
• Tasting tip: start with 1–1.5 tsp per 8 oz and adjust to preference
• Re-steeping: a second short steep can yield a milder second cup

Can I use this tea for recipes or cocktails?

Yes — the concentrated fruit and citrus character makes the tea a versatile mixer for culinary and beverage applications. Use brewed tea as a base for mocktails, spritzers, sorbets or as a poaching liquid for fruit and desserts.

• Mocktails: chill and mix with sparkling water or tonic
• Culinary: reduce to a syrup for glazes and dessert sauces
• Frozen treats: freeze into ice pops or granita for a bright flavor
• Pairing: complements light cheeses and citrus-forward pastries
