Lifetone Pineapple Tea is a Sri Lankan fruit tea that brings together dried pineapple granules and black tea in individual tea bags. It comes in a plain kraft-card box with a round yellow label on the front, and each bag brews a cup of black tea flavoured with pineapple.
The ingredient list printed on the box is short: dried pineapple granules and black tea, and nothing else is named. This box holds 40 grams in 20 sachets of 2 grams each, so every tea bag is a single cup.
Lifetone is the tea brand of Possible Green (Pvt) Ltd, whose address on the box is in Kilinochchi, in the north of Sri Lanka. A sister company, Possible Green Ltd, is named alongside it at Kingston upon Thames in England as manufacturer and distributor.
The preparation printed on the pack is simple. Pour freshly boiled water over a tea bag and leave it to infuse for at least 2 minutes, give it a few stirs and a gentle squeeze to draw out the full flavour, then lift it from the cup. Once the box is open, the maker asks for the contents to be kept in an airtight container.
The box also carries a general warning: pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, children, and anyone taking medication or facing surgery should consult their doctor before use. This page lists several pineapple tea packs among its options, including this 40g box on its own and as a pack of two.
