How should herbal tea like this be brewed and stored? — Fruit and Berry Tea 'Belovezhsky Dream' 50g - TEAVIT

The exact brewing time and proportions are given on the pack, and it is easiest to follow them. In general, herbal blends such as TEAVIT Ügrmetsa Uni taimetee are brewed with hot water and left to steep for a few minutes — this lets the flavour develop more fully and gives the infusion a rich colour and aroma. Longer steeping usually makes the flavour more pronounced.

A warm infusion is seen as a familiar way to round off the active part of the day, so it is nice to prepare it at a leisurely pace, without rushing. If you like, the flavour can be softened, but the tea is good on its own thanks to its fruit-and-berry profile.

Herbal blends are best stored in a dry place, away from moisture, direct light and sources of heat. Tightly closed packaging helps preserve the aroma and protects the herbs from foreign odours, which they easily absorb. Pay attention to the best-before date on the pack.

Like any food product, this tea does not replace a balanced diet but complements it. If you have chronic conditions, take medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is worth consulting a specialist before drinking it regularly.
