Ingredient translation request


Allura

Recommended Posts

I'm hoping someone can help out a friend of mine. She received a gift of tea, but has some allergies she needs to be careful about. Could someone help translate the ingredient list below? Much appreciated!

Tokyo Tower Peach & Berry Tea (Flavored Black/Indian Tea)
Ingredients: Black/Indian tea, sugar?, pink peppercorns, heath-flower, elder flower, flavoring, Monascus purpureus coloring

Countries of origin: Vietnam, India, Korea

The only doubt I have is that the term "arare" COULD be either tiny balls of toasted rice flour dough, or tiny balls of sugar. The picture I saw on the internet seemed to have only pink peppercorns, so I am guessing "sugar" rather than "toasted crunchy bits", but your friend will be able to confirm by taking a closer look.
