Every family has that one water jug. It sits in the fridge for ages, someone pours a glass once in a while, and then a day later, it gets tipped down the drain and refilled, only for the cycle to be repeated again. Not because anyone is anti-water, but because people, especially the little ones, get bored with the same old H20. They want something sweeter, something that tastes like a refreshing summer treat.

And that’s usually where the sugar rush starts. Suddenly, everyone is “starving”, tired, grumpy, and hunting for snacks before dinner.

So, what if there was a better version of that jug?

Make it Cranberry Hibiscus Cold Brew Family Pack

This is the kind of drink that the family will actually drink because it’s genuinely delicious, let alone good for you. It’s a fresh, sweet-tart blend of rooibos and berry flavours with dried berries and hibiscus pieces, and it brews to a beautiful pink-red colour that looks fabulous in a glass.

The big win for families is that it’s made for the jug. The bigger, family-size teabags are designed for pure convenience. One teabag from the Carmien Cranberry Hibiscus Cold Brew Family Pack makes 800 ml of cold brew, so you can pop one teabag in and let it brew.

And when everyone keeps refilling their glass, you don’t have to worry about the sugar crash. It’s sugar-free and sweetened with natural stevia leaf, so it still hits that “sweet drink” craving without the usual rollercoaster.

Why this flavour works for the whole house

Hibiscus brings that tangy, berry-like punch that makes the drink feel exciting, even when it’s coming from a jug. Rooibos smooths it out with a gentle, natural sweetness and body, so it doesn’t taste sharp or watery. It tastes like something kids choose first, and adults actually enjoy too.

The health benefits of hibiscus and rooibos

Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants and has been studied for heart support, including the potential to lower blood pressure.

Rooibos has its own antioxidant-rich profile, and studies suggest it can boost antioxidant levels and support cardiometabolic markers such as lipids and blood glucose in both healthy and at-risk individuals.

So, adding this to the family fridge jug becomes a small, daily habit that supports hydration and everyday wellness, while still keeping everyone refreshed.

The go-to tea for when you’re on the move

Some people just need something better than another sweetened drink while running between meetings, the gym, errands, or commuting.

That’s where Cranberry Hibiscus Cold Brew Rooibos Tea with 20 teabags is perfect.

The best way to use these bags is to pop them straight into your water bottle: add a teabag or two, throw in ice, and sip as you go.

Now with a fresh new look

Now with a fresh new look, Cranberry Hibiscus Cold Brew is showing up with packaging that’s brighter, bolder and a lot more fun.
