Apples have been grown across Europe and Central Asia for thousands of years, and dried apple pieces are the backbone of countless fruit tea blends. They brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with a gentle orchard aroma and give the infusion a fuller body. Apple pairs with almost anything: cinnamon, ginger, berries, citrus, hibiscus, rooibos and black tea. Because the pieces hold their flavor well, apple blends are lovely both piping hot in winter and poured over ice in summer.

Chamomile is a small daisy-like flower native to Europe and Western Asia, prized for centuries in Egypt, Greece and Rome. The dried flower heads brew a mellow, golden cup with a sweet, honey-like, apple-tinged floral aroma. Chamomile is lovely on its own and blends beautifully with lavender, mint, lemon balm, rose, rooibos and vanilla. It is naturally caffeine-free, which makes it a long-standing favorite for an evening cup, especially with a touch of honey.

Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, rolled into the familiar curled quills. In the cup it gives a sweet, woody warmth with a gentle bite and a rich, bakery-like aroma. It is a natural partner for black tea, rooibos and fruit blends, especially alongside ginger, cardamom, clove and apple. Try a cinnamon blend with a splash of milk on a cold morning, or brew it strong and pour it over ice.
