Apples have been grown across Europe and Central Asia for thousands of years, and dried apple pieces are the backbone of countless fruit tea blends. They brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with a gentle orchard aroma and give the infusion a fuller body. Apple pairs with almost anything: cinnamon, ginger, berries, citrus, hibiscus, rooibos and black tea. Because the pieces hold their flavor well, apple blends are lovely both piping hot in winter and poured over ice in summer.

Orange peel comes from the bright skin of sweet and bitter oranges, grown in sunny regions such as Spain, Florida, Brazil and the Mediterranean. Dried peel adds a warm, sweet citrus aroma with a hint of pleasant bitterness and a sunny, zesty finish. It is one of the most versatile tea ingredients, pairing beautifully with black tea, green tea, rooibos, cinnamon, clove, chocolate and cranberry. Orange and spice blends are a holiday favorite, and they are wonderful with a splash of milk.

Tangerine is a small, easy-peel citrus closely related to the mandarin, long grown in China and now enjoyed worldwide. Its dried peel adds a sweet, fragrant citrus aroma that is softer and rounder than orange, with a gentle zesty tang. Tangerine pairs beautifully with black tea, green tea, white tea and rooibos, and it blends well with ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and other citrus. Try a tangerine blend iced on a warm day, or hot with a touch of honey.
