fruit teas

Fruit teas are hot beverages made by steeping dried fruit pieces, fruit flavorings, or fruit-infused blends in hot water.

Unlike true teas, many contain no actual tea leaves—they're technically tisanes or herbal infusions.

Common varieties include berry, citrus, and tropical blends: I switched to fruit teas because they're naturally caffeine-free.

The term also covers black or green teas flavored with fruit.
