Love love love this new tea of the month! So jazzed it’s on the shelf for the year, because I’m already craving it and I drink at least a cup a day every time I work.
This oolong is smooth and sweet (from the sweet blackberry leaf), with just a wee bite from the ginger. It tastes healthful and delicious at the same time, definitely worlds above Happy Kombucha. I did myself a flavour favour and brewed this up double strength with a pump of agave and soymilk: It was like drinking strawberries and cream, or strawberry icecream.
Also quite pleased with the punny name, Yogi Bear, strawberry doing yoga on the package, just poifect.
Flavors: Ginger, Raspberry, Smooth, Strawberry

I almost got this tonight as a tea to go, but I changed my mind and went for juicy orange instead, as I was hoping for a nice citrus pick me up, and was afraid of the rose petal in this. Would you say that the rose is noticeable in this? I could not smell it, but I wonder about taste. In the end, there was something funny that tasted like licorice in the juicy orange and I was not fond of it, but it smelled amazing.
I can’t taste the rose in this one at all! I know exactly what you are talking about with the licorice sweetness of Juicy Orange though – I attribute it to the blackberry leaves as they can add quite a bit of sweetness at times (not a huge fan of Juicy Orange so far, can you tell? lol)
I had a cup of this one last week. It was interesting! Something about the berry gave it a funny twist, I couldn’t figure out what exactly
I am gonna try this soon, but not sure when I can…hopefully this week.
I would blame the kombucha powder! Basically being a powdered fungus, probably adds some .. tang so to speak lol
Yeah I was thinking it was a combination of the berry and kombucha. The two together just didn’t seem to work for me
