Icewine tea

Ice wine is wine made with grapes that are frozen, usually naturally while on the vine. Only the water freezes and the sugars become concentrated. The grapes must be harvested and pressed while still frozen. It'a a sweet desert wine and tends to be expensive.

I googled the tea that you are asking about and found a couple of places selling it, but not much info about what is in it, except that it is made with blueberryies and real ice wine.

It is most likely artificially flavored tea for IceWine. Blueberry does not have much flavor fresh and is also most likely an articially flavored too. My most likely is 95%+. It might contain some dehydrated pulp or must in the teabag. If there is real ice wine, will there be a slight contain of alcohol in your tea? Look for the ingredients on the label to find out!

mmmm... icewine. It's already been covered about the origins and info. Check out Mlesna brand Icewine tea. It is fairly inexpensive, I believe all natural, and yes it is even a teabag. Regardless, it is a great cup of tea and will fill your room with the amazing scent. This is a perfect time to hunt out a bottle of icewine, it can be had for $20-30 a bottle for a decent one... however double or triple that sum is not out of line at all. The reason for the cost is mainly due to the small yield and the serious chances growers are taking to produce it. It's pretty popular in Canada.

I was introduced to this wine via the tea as well. Tis a slippery slope. :)

Mlesna? Isn't that a Sri Lankan brand? I'm having trouble understanding how icewine could be produced in a tropical country, but I must be missing something...

I doubt they are growing the grapes, just the tea base... but I'm pretty sure that Mlesna uses all natural flavorings. Again, I am not

Hi, I have had this tea and for me was a disappointing product. I had hoped even for a flavor similar to icewine, and I have had many, mostly German, but also canadian and cryogenic american. Especially after having German eiswein, there is not even a small resemblance. I do not even think the tea base was too good either. And the flavors really taste artificial. But whats the bottom line, try it and if you like it then who cares? All taste buds are not created equal. But that only my 2 cents.. Jenn

I saw the stuff for sale at a tourist trap in Niagra Falls that catered to Japanese tourists. It does appear to be tea that has been flavourized with evaporated eiswein. Why anybody would do this to perfectly good tea and eiswein is beyond me, though.
