The Fireplace - Fruit Melange

Winter asks for warmth. For spice that lingers, fruit that comforts, and a cup that feels like sitting by a fire when the world outside is cold.

Rooibos forms the base — naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants like aspalathin . Studies show it may support heart health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing blood pressure . Cinnamon adds more than warmth — it's packed with anti-inflammatory compounds that ease digestion, support blood sugar balance, and protect the heart . Together with apple, almond, and a medley of warming spices, this blend becomes something greater than the sum of its parts.

The original fruit melange. The one that's been loved for years, especially when the nights grow long and you need something that wraps around you like a favorite blanket. It's spicy without being sharp, sweet without added sugar, and comforting in a way that only rooibos and cinnamon together can be.

How to brew: Two heaped teaspoons per 250ml. Water at 100°C — boiling, as fruit melanges need. Steep for 8–10 minutes. The longer you wait, the deeper the spice becomes. (Food safety note: Always use boiling water for fruit melanges and steep for at least 5 minutes.)
