Apple
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.
Cornflower, also called bachelor's button, is a European wildflower that once grew freely in grain fields, which gave it its name. Its petals are prized for their striking blue color rather than a strong taste, offering only a faint, mild, slightly sweet floral note. You will often see cornflower scattered through Earl Grey and Lady Grey style black teas, as well as green tea and herbal blends. It makes any blend look as good in the tin as it tastes in the cup.
Hibiscus tea is made from the deep red calyces of the roselle flower, a tropical plant grown in West Africa, Egypt, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It brews a bold, tart, cranberry-like cup with a fruity tang and a stunning ruby-red color. Hibiscus is the backbone of many fruit and herbal blends, pairing beautifully with rosehip, orange, berries, ginger and cinnamon, and it adds zing to rooibos and black tea. In Mexico, chilled hibiscus tea known as agua de jamaica is a summer favorite.
Lemon peel comes from the bright yellow fruit of the lemon tree, grown in sunny regions like the Mediterranean, California and South America. Dried peel gives a zesty, sharp citrus aroma with a clean, lightly bitter edge and a sunny fragrance that lifts the whole cup. It pairs well with green tea, black tea, rooibos, ginger, mint and berry blends. Lemon blends make excellent iced tea, and a drizzle of honey softens the tartness nicely in a hot mug on a chilly day.
Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass native to South and Southeast Asia, where its fragrant stalks are a staple of Thai and Vietnamese cooking. In tea it gives a bright, clean lemon aroma with gentle hints of ginger and a light, grassy sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with green tea, rooibos, ginger, mint, coconut and fruit blends, adding citrus freshness without any sourness. Lemongrass is excellent iced, and its sunny flavor stands up well to a long steep without turning bitter.
Raspberries are the soft, jewel-red berries of a bramble that grows wild across Europe and North America. Dried pieces add a bright, juicy, sweet-tart berry flavor and a fragrant aroma that smells like summer jam. They are a natural match for green tea, white tea and black tea, and they shine in fruit and hibiscus blends alongside strawberry, blackberry and rose. Raspberry blends make an excellent iced tea, especially lightly sweetened with a sprig of fresh mint.
Lemon verbena is a leafy shrub native to South America, brought to Europe by Spanish explorers and now grown widely around the Mediterranean. Its slender leaves have an intense, bright lemon aroma that is sweeter and more floral than lemon peel. Verbena is wonderful on its own, and it pairs well with green tea, white tea, mint, lemongrass and fruit blends. In France it is a classic after-dinner herbal tea called verveine, and it makes a refreshing iced tea too.

Mainly just tastes like lemongrass (and the other lemony ingredients). It's pretty good though. The raspberry is there but is more in the background than the name would suggest. Best served hot, my first instinct was to ice a pot overnight but it's pretty 'meh' cold.
