Fruit and herbal infusions (sometimes called tisanes) are made from dried fruits, flowers, herbs and spices rather than the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. That means they are naturally caffeine-free, making them a lovely choice at any time of day, including late in the evening.
What goes into an infusion?
- Fruits: apple, cranberry, cherry and orange peel bring natural sweetness and a gentle tang.
- Flowers: rose, hibiscus, chamomile and linden add colour and soft floral notes.
- Spices: cinnamon, clove, ginger and turmeric give warmth and depth, perfect for winter.
- Herbs: mint, sage and rosemary add freshness.
How do they taste?
Infusions range from sweet and fruity to warm and spicy. Hibiscus and rosehip brew a striking ruby red with a pleasant tartness, while cinnamon and apple make a cup that tastes like a winter dessert.

How to brew
Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup and freshly boiled water, then steep for 5–8 minutes. Infusions are very forgiving, so you can leave them a little longer for a stronger flavour without bitterness. See our full brewing guide.
