Black Tea Wild Berry

This is a bit of a weird tea. I’ve got a cold brew of the steepings going to see how that changes things but I don’t think i need to order this one again. It’s a neat mix of the blueberry and strawberry but that semi results in a vague “berry” like flavour that is neither one nor the other. There isn’t much astringency in this one, which is nice but i almost want the flavour to be sweeter, or stronger. maybe both. Still, glad to have this to check it off my list. only 12023978120938109283 more upton samples to try! :)

Not great, but not terrible. I think I have come to the conclusion that Upton is not my first choice for flavored tea. Hot it was a fine berry tea. It was kind of nice to have both blueberry and strawberry flavors going on. By the time it had cooled enough for iced tea, it had turned slightly bitter. I guess it could have been my brewing.

This was alright. I am picky when teas are fruit flavored. The flavoring just wasn’t tasty. It was fake tasting. I tried it iced, and finished my cup. I didn’t care for the black tea either, just wasn’t OMG worthy. It does smell like it tastes, which isn’t a plus. I’m just not loving it.

This tea is mediocre. It has an artificial berry/fruity scent. It’s difficult to taste any of the flavoring, but the tea base is pretty good tasting. It has a sharp, clean taste that isn’t too heavy. I’m not going to buy this again, as Upton has many flavored black teas that are way better.
