Pommeberry

Black Tea by The Tea Emporium

This well rounded black tea from Ceylon combines the sweet flavour of raspberries with the tartness of pomegranates, goji berries, and garana. Smooth and healthy either hot or cold.

Oh man…I made a cuppa this in my thermos to start off my morning yesterday and oh man. So good! It tastes like candy nom nom nom. It’s sweet and juicy and just plain lovely. Good call, Indigobloom and Jessie, good call. I can’t remember the specifics, as it was NUTBARS at work yesterday, but yeah, it was a good, good tea. I do remember practically chugging it and then being heartbroken when it was gone.

At our Toronto Tea Party on Monday, we got a bag of this to split and all of us try. This is one I will definitely be purchasing more of.

Absolutely no backhint of ass.

This tasted vaguely minty, but that was probably the fault of my travel mug. Still, yum. Apparently I was just in a berry mood as I made my iced teas this week, and it has worked out well for me. I prefer DavidsTea’s Blueberry Jam, but this is not a tea to be missed if you can help it!

Sweet tarts!! Tart, with a very faint hint of berry, which was brought out a touch with my addition of agave. The black tea base is pretty standard. I don’t really have much more to say… except that I am so sure that there is hibiscus hiding in here somewhere. yes, it was that sour without the agave!
Overall, it was nice but not especially unique.
Thanks to my tea peeps Jessie, De, and Aisling for sharing this with me! Epic times. Epic times…

Okay, I’m showing up late to the tea party. I only got around to trying this last night, but I was away most of the week. Gimme a break!

This is nice, though I don’t think (on first try) it held up to its scent for me. It’s a quite nice if unremarkable black base and lots of berry flavour. I’m getting some tartness from it (the gojis, I imagine), and maybe even a bit of floral, so I think I see where Indigobloom is coming from. I didn’t sweeten it, though, and steeped 2.5 minutes at 205 degrees.

Another member here of the Toronto Tea Party, sipping our first outing’s tea. I’m getting mostly raspberry from my cup, with a strong black tea base behind it. In fact until I added some sugar, the fruit notes were extremely hidden. The sugar brought them out to the party, though, and now it is a lovely cup. Sorry Indigobloom I’m not getting the hibiscus you had either — maybe you had a random bit in your bag or something?

This is definitely a lovely tea for fruit fans. I’m glad I got to try it. Am curious how it’ll blend with my other raspberry black now, as well!

Second cup of this one for me, and I really really enjoyed it. I may end up restocking it I like it that much! The fruit was more pronounced this time, perhaps because I added more sugar than last time.

Finally tried this from our Toronto Tea Party and mmmmm, very sweet and fruity without any sugar. I don’t taste any hibiscus, but I only steeped it two minutes, which seems the perfect length for most blacks. I like the berry in this one; reminds me of Tealish’s Bella Berry without the tartness of the melon added in.
