Taster’s Review:
The first thing I noticed is that this tea has a sturdy base aroma. All too often flavored teas tend to cover up the aroma and flavor of the base itself which sometimes can be good when I want something quite flavored but other times it is nice to have a lightly flavored tea that allows the base to come through in a bold way.
Della Terra has made me believe that blackberry and black tea were just meant to be married in this delicious brew. They have managed to masterfully create a stunning blackberry tea!
The raspberry is present but lurking in the background offering a slight tartness that gives a nice wake me up feeling.
The blackberry offers a sweeter flavor but a very naturally sweet taste which is not sappy nor does it give any odd after taste.
The base is BOLD, quite bold and I cannot wait to have this iced, or to cold brew it!
If I had to hand over some teas to the name brand companies that you find at your local grocery store, as an example of a well blended flavored tea, this would make the cut!
Its perfectly balanced, not over done, melds a great base with great flavors yet keeps its basic simplicity.
Della Terra has also quickly become one of my steadfast suppliers for great teas, especially flavored teas. Their customer service is top notch, they are actively involved on their facebook page, and they frequently run contests, and drawings for free samples, and account credits. Also their web site is easy to navigate and I love that they list any allergens within their teas on each tea’s description!
Back to this tea though .. This could easily fit into my morning rotation as it is bold enough as a wake up cup and the fruity flavors are understated so its not so much one that I would seek out as a dessert tea.
I just really appreciate that this is a tea that is what it states without trying to play dress up and over do it.
