What does Desinchá Apple Cider taste like?
Apple Cider is a crisp, fruity cup where tart hibiscus meets the natural sweetness of apple, rounded out with black tea, beetroot and a touch of turmeric. Brewed warm it's spiced and comforting, which is why it's the cosy side of this duo. Zero calories, no added sugar, and full of flavour.
Why is Apple Cider the "cosy" one in this bundle?
It's genuinely lovely brewed hot, the warm apple-and-hibiscus flavour feels like winter in a mug, perfect for cold mornings and slow evenings. That said, it's just as nice iced when the weather turns, so nothing's stopping you enjoying it both ways.

How do I brew Apple Cider?
Heat 200ml of water until just before boiling and steep one sachet for 5 minutes. Enjoy it warm and cosy, or add ice after brewing for a refreshing cold cup, it keeps in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just remember not to add sugar, it's designed to be enjoyed just as it is.
Is Apple Cider suitable for a sugar-free diet?
Yes! Apple Cider is completely sugar-free. It carries the natural sweet-tart flavours of apple and hibiscus with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, so it's an ideal choice for anyone following a sugar-free diet, or just after a lighter, feel-good cup.
What does Blood Orange & Hibiscus taste like?
It's bold, bright and ruby-red, where tangy blood orange meets floral hibiscus, with cinnamon, turmeric and a gentle kick of cayenne for warmth. Each bag carries 200mg of blood orange extract for a rich, vibrant flavour. Refreshing over ice, which makes it the cool side of this duo.
Why is Blood Orange & Hibiscus the "cool" one?
Its zesty, citrusy character really comes alive cold-brewed and poured over ice, it's bright, refreshing and the kind of cup you'll want in the fridge ready to go. It's equally gorgeous hot if you fancy a spiced warm mug, so the choice is always yours.
How do I make the perfect iced Blood Orange & Hibiscus?
Steep one tea bag in 150ml of hot water for 5 minutes, let it cool, then pour over ice. For a ready-to-go jug, brew a batch and keep it in the fridge. Add fresh fruit for a zesty tea mocktail, and remember to skip the sugar so the natural citrus tang shines.
Can I enjoy both teas hot and cold?
Absolutely, that's the beauty of this duo. We've matched each tea to what it does best, Apple Cider warm for the cold hours, Blood Orange & Hibiscus over ice for the bright ones, but both are versatile and delicious either way. Enjoy one to three tea bags a day, whenever suits you.
