Cariba Sundae is a lush, caffeine-free fruit infusion crafted for the modern hospitality menu. We blend sweet, tropical papaya with crisp apple and bright citrus, finishing with a hint of warm cinnamon and a touch of hibiscus for a beautiful rosy hue. The result is a beautifully balanced brew, bursting with juicy tropical notes and underscored by a gentle, sweet spice. It performs brilliantly as a comforting hot beverage and transforms into a vibrant, iced tea that captures the essence of summer. With its universal appeal and caffeine-free nature, this blend is a proven customer favourite that delivers outstanding menu flexibility and year-round performance.

Cariba Sundae Fruit Tea FAQs

Yes. For best results in a commercial environment, we recommend a quick hot steep followed by rapid chilling to ensure food safety and maximum flavour extraction. However, for a smoother, more subtle flavour profile, it can also be steeped in cold water for 12-18 hours under refrigeration.

Due to the lack of tannins (from Camellia sinensis), fruit infusions like Cariba Sundae remain bright and clear when iced, making them visually appealing for service.

o maintain the integrity of the dried fruit pieces, store this blend in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. This will protect your inventory and ensure consistent quality for up to 24 months.
