What is a fruit tisane?
A fruit tisane (often called fruit tea) is an infusion made from dried fruits, flowers, and botanicals — no Camellia sinensis tea leaves, which means no caffeine. The flavour comes entirely from the fruit and botanical ingredients, which is why these blends taste so vivid and fresh: there's nothing muting them.
Fruit tisanes work differently to tea in one important way. Because the flavour compounds in fruit are generally more stable than the delicate catechins in green tea, fruit tisanes are highly forgiving to brew. They can handle boiling water, longer steep times, and they cold brew exceptionally well. Leave them in cold water overnight and you get something genuinely outstanding.
T2's fruit collection is built around the flavours people actually want to drink: ripe peach, pomegranate, mango, mixed berry, and a few unexpected combinations that become instant favourites.

The stone fruit blends
Packs a Peach is T2's most loved fruit tisane and easy to see why. Tart, juicy, and intensely peachy with a sweet finish — it's the one people come back to, hot or cold, all year round. Available in loose leaf, tea bags, refill bags, and an Icon Tin format that makes it as giftable as it is drinkable.
Apple Crumble is the warming end of the stone fruit range: cinnamon, red apple, and a tart edge that makes it taste genuinely like the dessert it's named after. Brilliant on a cold day and unexpectedly good cold brewed. Mulberry Ripple goes fruity and deep, with berry richness and a natural tartness that keeps it interesting.
The tropical blends
Three takes on mango, each different enough to deserve its own cup.
Mangoes & Cream is creamy, tropical, and fruity — mango at its most indulgent, softened with a smooth, sweet finish. Mango Cucumber is the refreshing version: tropical and fruity but with a clean, cool cucumber edge that makes it particularly good iced. Mango Mint Cold Brew leads with tropical sweetness and a menthol lift from mint, packaged specifically for cold brewing straight in your water bottle or jug.
Fruitalicious goes wider: a tart, tropical, multi-fruit blend that covers a lot of ground in a single cup. The one for anyone who wants something bright and unpredictable.
The berry blends
Strawberries & Cream is exactly what it says: berry-sweet, tart, and creamy in a way that makes it one of the most approachable fruit tisanes in the range. Hot or cold, it consistently wins people over.
Pumping Pomegranate leans candy-sweet with a tree fruit depth and a satisfying tart finish. Bold colour in the cup, bold flavour on the palate. Very Berry Fruitea brings layered berry notes with a floral edge and a tart finish that keeps it from being cloying. Peachberry Cold Brew combines peach and berry in a bag designed to cold brew directly in cold water, no heat required.
Hot, iced, or cold brewed
Fruit tisanes are one of the most versatile things you can brew. Here's how to get the best from each method.
Hot brew
Use water at 100°C (212°F). Add 1–2 teaspoons of loose-leaf per 250ml, or one tea bag per cup. Steep for 5–7 minutes. Fruit tisanes handle boiling water and longer steep times well — unlike green or white tea, there's no risk of bitterness from the heat. Sweeten with honey if you like, though most blends are naturally sweet enough on their own.
Iced tisane (hot then cold)
Brew at double strength: 2–3 teaspoons of loose-leaf or two tea bags per 250ml of boiling water. Steep for 5–7 minutes, then pour directly over a glass full of ice. The ice dilutes the concentrate back to full flavour. Packs a Peach, Strawberries & Cream, and Pumping Pomegranate are particularly good this way.

Cold brew (no heat required)
Add 2–3 teaspoons of loose-leaf or 2–3 tea bags to 1 litre of cold water. Refrigerate for 6–8 hours or overnight. No heat, no fuss, and a noticeably smoother, sweeter result than hot-brew-then-chill. The Peachberry Cold Brew and Mango Mint Cold Brew bags are packaged specifically for this method and work straight in a jug or water bottle. See our how to make cold brew guide for more detail.
