I received this as a sample with a recent order. I wanted, so badly, to love it. I love the combination of berries and citrus and I don’t mind spices in black tea blends, but, unfortunately, the combination of ingredients just didn’t work for me. I didn’t find the level of spice to be overpowering, I just don’t think the flavors meshed well. Blackberry and lime is a flavor combination I can get behind. Blackberry and lime and vanilla and bergamot and cinnamon and clove…whoa. I would’ve liked more vanilla, and I think dried orange or tangerine or dried lime (or citrus peel, for that matter) would’ve been a nice addition. I try to avoid teas with bergamot in them because it’s just not a flavor I enjoy. It’s not a tea I would’ve purchased, but it was an interesting blend to try.
This is You :-D
