Blackcurrants are small, dark berries grown widely in Northern and Eastern Europe and especially loved in Britain. They bring an intense, tangy, almost wine-like berry flavor and a rich purple color to the cup. Blackcurrant is a natural match for black tea, where it adds a fruity depth, and it also shines in fruit blends with hibiscus, apple, elderberry and other berries. Blackcurrant tea is wonderful hot on a cold day and equally refreshing over ice.

Carrots are root vegetables first cultivated in Central Asia and now grown all over the world in many colors, from orange to purple. Dried carrot pieces add a mild, natural sweetness, a slightly earthy note and a warm orange color to the cup. They work well in fruit and herbal blends with apple, orange, ginger, beetroot and rooibos, adding body without overpowering other flavors. Carrot blends also make a playful, garden-inspired iced tea for warm afternoons.

Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass native to South and Southeast Asia, where its fragrant stalks are a staple of Thai and Vietnamese cooking. In tea it gives a bright, clean lemon aroma with gentle hints of ginger and a light, grassy sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with green tea, rooibos, ginger, mint, coconut and fruit blends, adding citrus freshness without any sourness. Lemongrass is excellent iced, and its sunny flavor stands up well to a long steep without turning bitter.

Pomegranate is the ruby-seeded fruit of a small tree native to Persia and long grown across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and India. In the cup it gives a tart, tangy flavor with a gentle sweetness, a hint of cranberry and a lovely rosy red color. It shines in fruit blends and hibiscus mixes, and it also brightens green tea, white tea and rooibos. Try a pomegranate blend iced with a slice of lime for a refreshing summer drink.
