Aronija Jabuka Crni Ribiz (Chokeberry Apple Black Currant)

2024 sipdown no. 16

Thank you from Martin for this one! I didn’t make any notes, but I recall this being a really lovely fruit tea, quite enjoyable and really nice especially considering it was a bagged tea.

These fruit teas from Naturavita are great and I would love to add both to my cupboard.

I don’t know what else to say but that this is one of the best fruit tisanes I have ever had.

Hibiscus makes me reach for sugar and I don’t really even bother with hibiscus except iced and very sweet. I thought tart just really wasn’t my bag.

This is tart without puckering and really full flavored, and is the most palatable tisane of this type I can ever remember tasting. I have absolutely no need of sugar with this. This is delicious.

(Ashman said it is delicious with lemon biscotti! I made a cup for him as well.)

Thank you, Martin!

This tea is definitely fully fruity. And it made to the TTB, so I am looking forward to more tasting notes! As full-ness of fruity notes I mean it is definitely not water, rather it tastes almost like drinking some kind of juice, very mouthcoating and keeps a long fruity aftertaste.

When we have pleasantly sour flavor, we should add pleasantly tart because this is what this tea seems to be about. It’s quite tart, but afterall, chokeberry and black currant are tart fruits, but the majority of fruits is an apple, and it seems that ripe red apples were used, it is tamed and some fruity sweetness prevail more than tart. The black currant is noticeable in flavour as well and probably the most in the aftertaste. Chokeberries are adding that tart note instead of hibiscus, which is in too, but not in the first place. Definitely worth the money.
