The natural goodness of red berries
Beyond the pleasure of taste, our red berry teas bring you the natural goodness of these little treasures of nature. Rich in antioxidants, red berries help support your everyday well-being. Strawberry is a great source of vitamin B9, while cherry is valued for its beneficial properties. Redcurrant acts as a natural detoxifier, rich in trace elements. Each sip becomes a small act of kindness towards yourself.
Brewing tips
To bring out the full aroma of your red berry teas, a few simple guidelines go a long way. Use water just off the boil (80°C for green teas, 95°C for black teas) and steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the strength you prefer. Our Rooibos blends can steep longer without turning bitter. Feel free to adjust the brewing time to suit your own taste. For an iced version, brew your tea a little stronger, let it cool, then pour over ice.

Iced red berry tea: the summer recipe
Our red berry teas are perfect served as iced tea in summer. Cold brew method: 12 g of tea per litre of cold water, steeped for 6 to 8 hours in the refrigerator. Strain, add ice and a few fresh red berries as a garnish. Our favourites: a red berry green tea for freshness, a red berry black tea for body, or a caffeine-free Rooibos for children. A chilled red berry infusion is also lovely bottled up for picnics.
What goes into our red berry blends
All our red berry teas are made with organic ingredients. The base varies by blend: green tea, black tea, Rooibos, white tea or maté. Red berries: real dried fruit pieces (strawberry, raspberry, cherry, redcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant). Floral accents: rose, cornflower, hibiscus. Flavourings: always natural, never synthetic. Our organic range delivers an authentic taste, true to the idea of an orchard in a cup.
Our red berry tea selection
29 creations pairing red berries with the three T&T bases: green tea (Sencha-strawberry, Yangtze raspberry), black tea (classic red berries, Marquise, Fruit Tart), Rooibos (caffeine-free red berry blends for evenings and children). Plus several pure red berry herbal infusions with no tea base.
Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, personally selects the dried fruits (strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, redcurrant) and the natural flavourings that give our blends their character. A large part of the range is organically grown.
Iced red berry tea: the drink of summer
Red berries and iced tea are a perfect match for warm days. Brew your tea twice as strong (4 g per 200 ml), steep for 5 minutes, strain, then dilute with cold water and ice. Add a few sliced fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries) and a sprig of mint for freshness. No sugar needed: the natural aromas do all the work.
Our tip: prepare it the evening before using the cold brew method (steep in the fridge for 6 to 12 hours). The result is smoother, without any bitterness, and the delicate fruity aromas come through beautifully.
The benefits of red berry tea
Red berries naturally provide anthocyanins and vitamin C, both well-known antioxidants. According to the EFSA, the catechins in green tea help protect cells from oxidative stress. On a Rooibos base, your infusion is caffeine-free and suitable for the whole family, including in the evening. For general guidance on herbal infusions, visit the ANSES website.
Frequently asked questions
Which red berry tea should I choose?
It depends on your preferred base. Green tea: light and refreshing, ideal in the afternoon or iced in summer. Black tea: fuller-bodied, perfect in the morning with a splash of milk. Rooibos: caffeine-free, ideal for evenings, children, or those sensitive to stimulants. A pure red berry herbal infusion (no tea) is also a great evening option.
How do I brew red berry tea?
It depends on the base. Green tea: 75–80°C, 2–3 minutes. Black tea: 95°C, 3–5 minutes. Rooibos: 95–100°C, 5–7 minutes. Pure red berry herbal infusion: 95°C, 5–10 minutes. Average dose: 2 g per 200 ml cup. Boiling water can scorch the delicate fruity aromas, so avoid 100°C for green tea and fruity black tea bases.
Which red berries are used in the tea?
The classics: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant. Variations include: wild strawberry (more fragrant, rarer), wild raspberry, blueberry. For visual appeal: rose petals, cornflower petals, marigold petals. Our blends typically combine 3 to 5 different fruits to create a layered aromatic profile.
Does red berry tea help with weight loss?
Not directly. But enjoyed without sugar, a red berry tea is a far better choice than sodas and sweetened drinks (saving around 100–150 kcal per cup). Paired with a balanced diet and regular activity, it's a pleasurable way to stay hydrated without extra calories.
Can I drink red berry tea during pregnancy?
On a Rooibos or herbal base (caffeine-free), yes, in moderation. On a green or black tea base, limit yourself to 1–2 cups per day (due to caffeine content). Always choose our naturally flavoured versions over synthetic ones. If in any doubt, speak to your midwife.
