Description
Bigelow Tea Blackberry Citrus Plus Zinc Herbal Tea (Pack of 6) is a functional, wellness-focused herbal tea designed to support immune health. Part of Bigelow's "Plus" line, it combines a flavorful, tart fruit blend with an essential mineral supplement to provide daily health benefits in a comforting hot drink.
What Comes in the Bundle?
- Quantity: You receive a Pack of 6 boxes.
- Tea Bags Per Box: Each box contains 18 tea bags (108 total tea bags for the entire bundle).
- Foil Packaging: Every single tea bag is individually sealed in Bigelow's signature foil pouch. This protects the delicate fruit flavors, herbs, and vitamins from air, light, and moisture until you open it.
Key Ingredients & Functional Benefits
This blend goes beyond standard herbal flavorings by incorporating specific, targeted wellness nutrients:
- Zinc: The standout functional ingredient. Zinc is a vital trace mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting a healthy immune system, aiding cell growth, and combating oxidative stress.
- Vitamin C: Fortified with Vitamin C to work in tandem with the Zinc, creating an antioxidant-rich defense blend for your body.
- The Flavor Profile: A bold, refreshing, and deeply fruity combination. It pairs the sweet, juicy notes of wild blackberries with a bright, zesty splash of citrus (typically orange peel and lemongrass), rounded out by tart hibiscus and chicory root.
Dietary & Quality Highlights
- 100% Caffeine-Free: Because this is an herbal formulation (containing no actual black, green, or white tea leaves), it is entirely stimulant-free. You can drink it late at night or throughout the day without affecting your sleep cycle.
- All-Natural Standards: Made without artificial colors, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
- Certifications: The tea is Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher Parve.
How to Prepare It
To get the maximum extraction of both the fruit flavors and the immune-supporting nutrients:
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil.
- Pour 8 fluid ounces of boiling water directly over 1 tea bag in a mug.
- Steep for 4 to 6 minutes. Leaving the tea bag in a minute longer will yield a deeper blackberry color and a more robust, tart citrus flavor.
- Remove the bag. It tastes excellent entirely unsweetened, but a touch of honey or agave nectar complements the tart berry profile beautifully.
