The pink color is mainly associated with love, romance and innocence . But what associations come to mind when it comes to taste? Surely sweetness is what immediately came to your mind. Moreover, this color is associated with a rose scent and warmth , i.e. aspects that can also be attributed to tea infusions.
After brewing, the tea acquires different colors - black, green, yellow, white, red and... pink? Is this even possible? Yes! The color of your infusion mainly depends on the degree of oxidation of the tea leaves and the processing process , but it is also important what additives they are combined with - and this is the aspect we will focus on today.
In this entry, we will present not only the ingredients behind the pink color of teas and the benefits of drinking an infusion with their addition, but also present delicious compositions of the Basilur brand, which will certainly charm lovers of all shades of pink!
What additives influence the production of pink tea?
Hibiscus
Pink hibiscus flowers emit a rather subtle scent , but they make up for it with an intense, sour taste. The plant itself has many health properties. It was already known in ancient times for this reason, and in Egypt, hibiscus infusion was even called the red gold of the pharaohs. The benefits of the flower include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties and those that help lower blood pressure and strengthen the body's immunity.
Hibiscus tea will certainly be of interest to people who want to take care of their figure! This is all due to the high content of fiber and unsaturated fatty acids, which give hibiscus its slimming properties. Moreover, it has a positive effect on digestion and is involved in cleansing the body of toxins.
Beetroot
This well- known vegetable has many health-promoting properties. It is an excellent source of large amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B1, calcium, magnesium and potassium . Thanks to this , it can play an important role in fighting anemia, keeping the body in good condition and strengthening immunity.
The intense, blood-red color of beetroot means that even a small addition of the vegetable to the tea composition significantly affects the final color of the infusion.
