Why does German fruit tea have a sour taste?

German herbal teas are typically made with fresh or dried fruits, natural spices, and flowers. Here are some of the reasons for their sour and astringent taste:

• Many fruits used in flower and fruit teas, such as lemons, plums, and raspberries, contain a certain degree of acidity. The acidic components in these fruits, such as citric acid and malic acid, will dissolve when brewing tea, forming a sour and astringent taste.

• Some flowers commonly used in flower and fruit teas, such as roselle, chamomile, and rose, contain some sour and astringent plant compounds. These compounds will also dissolve when brewing tea, giving the tea a slightly sour taste.

In summary, the sour and astringent taste of German herbal tea is due to its ingredients. Depending on personal preference and tolerance, Germans also add honey or sugar to achieve a more balanced and mellow taste.
