Apricot Sunrise is a vibrant black tea blend enhanced with golden ripe apricots. Brisk yet sweet with warm stone fruit notes, it’s a refreshing brew guaranteed to add a little sunshine to your day.
Our Tea Masters use a mix of high quality African teas to create a full-bodied base for this blend. The addition of real apricot pieces and our own exclusive apricot flavouring make it a unique brew with a sunny Mediterranean twist. The balance of brisk and robust black teas, fruity dried apricot pieces and nutty marzipan notes have made this a popular Ahmad Tea blend for over 20 years.
Each teabag comes foil-wrapped to lock in the flavours, ensuring the perfect brew every time. Apricot is a comforting, summery flavour any time of the year. Enjoy brewed with hot water for a fruity, cleansing cuppa or try steeping it with sugar, then dilute with iced water to create the perfect apricot iced tea. It makes a lovely thirst-quencher for sunny afternoons in the garden.
