Why are Khatoon Farm’s Herbal Quince Teas more vibrant compared to other similar teas?
The vibrant color of Khatoon Farm’s Quince Herbal Tea is due to the drying method and the quality of the fruit used, which makes its color and aroma distinctive.
Types of Quince Herbal Teas at Khatoon Farm:
- Pure Quince
- Apple and Quince Blend
Many stores package only dried quince tea, which, if steeped alone, will yield a dull and yellow color.
At Khatoon Farm, we gently heat and gradually roast our Quince Herbal Teas after the drying process.
The heat should be enough to make it a light brown color and should not be over-roasted to the point of burning.
This drying and roasting method significantly impacts the taste and color of Quince Herbal Tea, which ends up being the same color as black tea.
It can even replace black tea or be mixed with it. This factor contributes to the vibrant color of Quince Herbal Tea.
