Teekanne markets numerous assorted fruit infusions on multiple nation-domain websites. Curiously, I can't find this product (by this name anyway, or by another with the same ingredients) anywhere on Teekanne's main dot-com English-language website, nor German, nor their Austrian site .at, which is in English. Yet it's easily available on Amazon and Instacart, and my box came from an Austrian meat market and food store in Tulsa. So there's how you get it if you want it. Here we go: poured, brewed, bottom's up!

Mostly this is a classical, mainline "Zinger" type tea, with rose hips, hibiscus and orange peel, also including apple and elderberry. The last ingredient, peppermint, mainly shows up faintly in the dry-bag aroma and sometimes at the finish of sips as a cooling component. Rose hips and hibiscus thoroughly dominate, and it certainly smells and tastes fruity as advertised. The beverage overall is pleasant, and I'll certainly finish the box, but it doesn't stand out compared to most others of this ilk that are commonly available. As with most Teekanne products I've tried, the bags are fragile and can split open sometimes while pouring or steeping...more often if squeezing to extract liquid.
