What's so good about our drink?
Its components are simple and original: & ndash; karkade. It is famous and popular, it is made from dried rosella flowers or Sudanese rose (lat. Hibiscus sabdariffa) & ndash; plants from the genus Hibiscus.
History and benefits of karkade tea
It has a different name in different countries.

Benefits of dried berries and fruits

These are dried pieces of fruit and fruit that are prepared by dipping in or cooking in sugar syrup, followed by hot air drying or oven drying.
For & laquo; brazen fruit & raquo; candied pineapple and papaya were selected. They add sweetness and soften.

Rosehip Benefits
These are rather tasty and fragrant fruits of the plant that we call & laquo; wild rose & raquo;. Vitamin C there is up to 14%, which is twice as much as the ascorbic acid content in currants.
We added the rosehip shell to our drink, since it contains the largest amount of nutrients. We recognize the pronounced aroma of dried fruits with a little sour, but very pleasant, saturated and & laquo; dense & raquo;.
Rosehips have long been considered a useful fruit that benefits the body by improving organ function and restoring immunity.

Bright composition of tea collection & laquo; Arrogant fruit & raquo;: photo and description
This is a summer drink that very gently combines the sweetness of berries and fruits with a bright, pronounced base & ndash; karkade.
Our technologists have found the right combination.
By bringing together the summer components, adding autumn fruits to them and using an unusual base, we got a fragrant and unforgettable drink.
We were attentive to the choice of components that can most fully reveal in their taste characteristics all together.
When compiling the mixture, it was important to make the drink complete, harmonious, without bright pronounced accents, so that the consumer would not emphasize the individuality of any component, but enjoy the richness and integrity of taste.
It was necessary to create a drink in which the opposite tastes are easily and balanced: sour + sweet, while it is the sweetness that is given by pieces of apples, raisins and candied pineapple and papaya, softening the acidity of karkade with added rose hips.
And aromatization with natural oils has completed the formation of fullness of taste and aroma.
Tea & laquo; brazen fruit & raquo; became balanced, full and tasty & laquo; like compote & raquo;. It may be a little unusual, but it is for its fruity base and taste that our drink is loved by children. They perceive it as a fruit drink, uzvar or grandmother's compote.

It cannot be recharged & ndash; the taste will not change from the time of brewing. It is very good when we can not think and not be afraid to get a tasteless drink, because we were distracted and forgot: you can do all the important things in the morning, and then go back and drink a cup of impudent fruit.
If the drink still seems sour to your perception, it does not depend on the brewing time, but is solely related to the amount of hibiscus in the mixture that you put in the kettle.
