Florapharm Apricot Peach Fruit Melange for Infusions

A loose-leaf fruit melange designed for herbal infusions, blending dried apricot and peach pieces with complementary botanicals. When steeped in freshly boiled water, the fruit releases natural sugars and aromatic compounds, creating a fragrant infusion without added flavourings. The process relies on the water's heat to extract colour, taste and subtle sweetness from the dried ingredients, yielding a full-bodied drink that can be served hot or chilled over ice.

To prepare, measure the desired quantity of the melange into an infuser or teapot. Pour water at 100 °C over the leaves and allow the infusion to steep for 8 to 10 minutes. The longer steeping time ensures the denser fruit pieces soften and release their full character. Once the infusion reaches the desired strength, remove the infuser or strain the liquid to prevent over-extraction and bitterness.

The blend combines hibiscus blossoms, apple bits, raisins, apricot bits, candied pineapple pieces, elderberries, lemon peel and peach bits. Each ingredient contributes distinct notes: hibiscus adds tartness, apple and raisins provide natural sweetness, while lemon peel and marigold blossoms lend citrus brightness and floral undertones.

Packaged in a 300 g resealable pouch, the melange retains freshness between uses. Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and strong odours to preserve the delicate fruit aromas.

Suitable for use in cafés, tea rooms and catering operations where herbal infusions are offered alongside traditional teas.
