This is an incredibly hefty, filling fruit tea, absolutely my favorite of the Tea Table tea of the month teas so far. It’s delicious and utterly full of fruit, with the strongest tastes being strawberry and blackberry. No matter how I steep it, it never comes out less than chewy — I am at a loss to know why the company’s website describes this as a “mild flavor”! Although they’re quite correct about its lovely deep magenta color. I need to order more of this right away.

I wouldn’t drink this solo, but this sounds really good.:)
I’m soooo glad I saw this… I was using Groupons for my favvvvorite tea shop in the whole world (where this is 1.90 an ounce and there are always over 600 teas available) and being super finicky about fruit stuff (particularly “natural flavors” which rarely even COME from fruits with Metropolitan Tea Co and also just how MUCH it takes to make it flavorful enough in nearly all cases, as I like it strong) it suffices to say I was 1-ouncing most everything; then again that also gives me the excuse to try and try and try lots of stuff! I corrected the manufacturer as the Tea Table redistributes Lady Hannah’s, along with 7,000 other shops around the world (but their bulk price for 32oz+ was still 40c more per ounce so I will only be visiting them to get ideas, especially since I personally KNOW—having spent HOURS in his shop, the owner of Angelina’s, Angelina being his AFRICKINDORABLE little girl who sells heart shaped pu’ehr for V-day and similar africkindorable things. If you’re wanting to order tons more, seriously, don’t mention the price elsewhere cause hey we do NOT want him getting too savvy since his shop—a mesmerizing place with SOOOO much tea ware… holy cow check the site for that too… mmmm makes me wish I was there… anyway, don’t tell him he’s dirt cheap, cause hey, he’s STILL making a 350+% profit at 1.90/oz :P He also makes tons of profit being the only Silk Road Teas full line purveyor, ie he is the only USA guy with the connections (he used to be a tea taster and judge out in Asia, part of the hugely important committee to deem what teas are basically yknow sacred and stuff… You might want to tell him Laura B and her sister Jennifer in NC sent you because hey, they did. Plus he may just toss in a sample or few when she redeems my b-day present which is another $25 in tea from there (odd enough, a couple teas could quite literally spend that whole gift cert with 2 ounces—THAT is the Silk Road tea world. Still, drunken concubine enters my dream world, REM style and daydream. I wish I’d never tasted that evil, beauuutiful masterpiece of the earth.
