Florapharm Exquisite Fruit Melange 300 g Infusion Blend

An infusion blend of dried fruits and blossoms creates a deep ruby liquor with layers of tart, sweet and floral notes. The process relies on hot water extracting colour, aroma and soluble compounds from the botanicals; the longer the steeping time, the more intense the result. Hibiscus provides the base colour and a cranberry-like sharpness, while raisins and candied pineapple add natural sweetness that balances the tartness of black currants and raspberries. Elderberries contribute a subtle earthy depth, rounding the overall profile.

To prepare, place one portion of the melange in an infuser or directly into a pre-warmed teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the blend and allow it to steep for eight to ten minutes. The water temperature is fixed at 100 °C, ensuring full extraction without scorching the delicate fruit pieces. Once the desired strength is reached, strain and serve. The infusion may be enjoyed hot or chilled, and the same portion can be re-steeped once for a lighter second cup.

The blend is supplied in a 300 g foil-lined pouch that preserves freshness and aroma. Each ingredient is whole or in large pieces, allowing the operator to see the quality and adjust the portion size if needed. The pouch can be resealed after opening, protecting the remaining contents from moisture and light.

The specified steeping time of eight to ten minutes gives the operator control over strength: a shorter steep yields a lighter, more refreshing drink, while the full ten minutes produces a richer, more complex infusion. The fixed temperature of 100 °C means the blend is compatible with any standard kettle or urn, eliminating the need for variable-temperature equipment.

Cleaning is minimal: rinse the infuser or teapot with hot water after use and allow it to dry. The fruit pieces are soft when steeped and do not leave hard residues, so no scrubbing is required.

The Exquisite Fruit Melange is categorised under infusion blends and is suitable for cafés, tea rooms and catering operations that serve hot or iced beverages.
