The Boysenberry, a largish purple-red berry, was not created by Mother Nature. Rather, this fruit traces its heritage, rather unceremoniously, to a Napa ditch. Horticulturist Rudolph Boysen simply happened across a chance selection of berries growing in this ditch one fine California day. - The chance selection? Some wild raspberries, blackberries, and a few logan berries. Rudolph Boysen had a Eureka moment. He decided to cross breed the berries; in doing so he created the tart, sweet fruit, known henceforth as the Boysenberry. - Although Boysen himself ditched his signature berry when he sold his farm, his friend Walter Knott used the hybrid when starting up what we now know as Knott's Berry Farm. - As for us, we've used Boysen's hybrid to create what is simply a delicious tea hot or iced. - We only use high grown Ceylon tea from estates more than 5500 feet above sea level; We only use natural flavors, giving a clean true taste with no chemical aftertaste - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea "straight-up." - Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb
