Got this in my swap with Azzrian, thanks!
I haven’t tried a lot of blackberry teas, but I also haven’t really tried any good blackberry teas. I think there is something about the taste of blackberry that is hard to capture in flavorings. The aroma on the steeped tea on this one smells primarily like black tea without much else involved, but it at least smells like a tasty Chinese black tea.
The flavor surprised me… kind of sweet and tart, and surprisingly blackberry. You know, with the low ratings on this one I wasn’t really expecting anything but I am fairly pleasantly surprised. It’s not a tea that I would really crave or reach for often, but I do think the blackberry flavoring is pretty faithful, even in the hot tea. I have been unimpressed by the black tea base on Della Terra teas before, but this one is kind of nice. Pretty tasty overall.
