Canton Berry and Hibiscus: benefits and flavour

Rammed with goodness, this entirely natural fruit blend is delicious when served either hot or chilled. The mix of ingredients, including hibiscus flower, apple and aronia berry, offers vibrancy of flavour and releases a stunning vivid scarlet colour when brewed. It is super versatile, appealing to many as a summer cooler with ice and a sprig of mint, or as a cocktail or even as a hot winter toddy. 

the flavour 

This infusion has a full-bodied juicy quality, thanks to the selection of high-quality ingredients that release a satisfying depth of flavour. The hibiscus flower, sourced from a co-operative in Burkina Faso, not only offers a bright, slightly tart, cranberry note, but gives the brewed infusion a gorgeous red colour. Apple and elderflower bring a sense of summer and make a lovely base flavour for the berries to shine. Aronia berry, elderberry and rosehip give even more fruit depth. The liquorice root adds a soft, subtle sweetness to the whole experience and a smooth mouthfeel. This blend is boosted with fruit flavours extracted from blueberry, strawberry and blackcurrant. These are flavours extracted from the actual fruits – which is more unusual than you might imagine. It means they are the natural flavours from those fruits, rather than the artificial ‘natural’ flavours that bear no relation to those fruits. This is what really sets our Canton Berry and Hibiscus apart from most other fruit infusions.

the benefits

Bringing together ingredients rich in antioxidants, our Berry and Hibiscus is a beneficial infusion. Enjoy it all day and any time of day, as it’s naturally free from caffeine. Aronia berries contain high levels of flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants. Hibiscus is bursting with vitamin C, which can help boost your immune system. Hibiscus, along with rosehip and elderberry are also rich in antioxidants, which can protect against cell damage and are linked to skin and hair health. Liquorice is a known adaptogen, which can help with stress relief.
