The aronia berry – also known as chokeberry – is known for its deep dark colour and characteristically tart-fruity aroma. As an ingredient in tea blends, it adds an intense note and a pleasantly balanced fruitiness. It's especially popular combined with hibiscus, apple or other berries.
The aronia berry originally comes from North America and is now also cultivated in Europe. It is characterised by its dark purple colour and its intensely fruity, slightly tart flavour. In tea blends, it is prized above all for its aroma and vivid colouring.
