The last Ronnefeldt bag I have on hand – there’s no information on it to indicate just exactly what type of red berries might be in here. The bag itself is too gauzy to get much of a view through, though I do note that the material inside is mostly greenish with red flecks.

On steeping, the liquor becomes a garish pink-purple – keep this one far away from white furniture and carpets. I’m thinking hibiscus is probably playing a starring role in this beverage. One sip confirms it – really, really tart, to the point where I need to add two lumps of sugar rather than just one in order to make it drinkable. The hibiscus flavor is there, but others in there as well which make it more than just a Red Zinger rip-off. I’d guess there’s raspberry in there and something with a woodier taste, again I’m guessing but I think it might be acai.

As an iced drink on a hot day I think it would be super; hot, it leaves me a little, well, cold.

I completely agree with the ice drink, i had a sample ice tea with red berries with red orange brown sugar and fizzy, it was amazing. I found this description for the Red Berries on Gastronautgroup.com “fruit infusion mixes of apple-pomace, hibiscus, citric acid and rose hip peel. The sweet, fruity aroma of ripe raspberries and strawberries capture the flavour of summer (strawberries/raspberries).”

Hello and thanks for the great review of Red Berries. We wholeheartedly agree with regarding to keeping the tea away from anything white (even counter tops). The Red Berries tisane is composed of Hibiscus, apple pieces, currants, rose hip peel, sweet blackberry leaves, elderberries, black currants, blackberries, strawberry and raspberry juice concentrate. I hope that this answers your questions regarding it’s composition.

Grandma introduced me to tea as a kid (lipton with milk and sugar; a bit poured into the saucer to cool it down and then sipped from there), and I’ve never looked back. Still have a slight preference for teas that go well with milk (or even better, cream) and sugar, but since Grandma’s day I’ve branched out to appreciate green and white teas, rooibos and pu erh. Absolutely love Mariage Freres!
