Second tea from my subscription. Really nice picks this month!
This is a blackberry and raspberry black tea, and I admit I was a bit nervous to try it. A lot of times, mixed berry and blackberry teas end up tasting like berry Tums to me for some reason. Luckily, that’s not the case here. This has a nice balance of candylike vs. fresh berry, with the raspberry being on the tarter side (with the help of a touch of hibiscus) and the blackberry being more like a sweet candy or jam. There’s also an herbaceous note from the blackberry leaf, which I think actually helps this tea taste a bit more fresh.
I don’t think I’ll order it, just because I have a lot of other berry teas that I love, but I enjoyed receiving it in my subscription. :)
