About ten years ago, I bought a package of loose-leaf black maple tea from a lovely tea house in California. The first time I tried it, with the usual milk and sugar, I had it with French Toast for breakfast. I felt like I was drinking a cup of maple syrup. Yikes! This may have caused me to shy away from maple flavored tea for a time – or at least to consider serving it with something more savory.
Flash forward to May 2017 when I received my first order from The NecessiTEAS. I ordered a variety of their creative flavors, which arrived in very nice tins. Among my selections was Blackberry Maple Waffle Tea. When I opened the can, I was delighted by the cuteness of the tiny dried blackberries in the tea. I made a pot for breakfast (savory scrambled eggs this time), and was very impressed with the flavor of the tea. Besides the real blackberries, the black tea contains bits of waffle cones – and maple, of course. There is a really nice balance of each flavor. The sweeter flavors blend well with the boldness of the black tea. The berries give it a tangy kick. It is delicious with milk and sugar, and also refreshing as an iced tea.
This well-done blend has quickly become a staple in my tea cabinet. And it pairs well with savories AND sweets!

If you love sweet, creamy berry teas, this will be your… jam. (swish)
This tea has crisp and malty notes with a huge butter/honey level over it that’s hyper-saturated with berries. I could, if I closed my eyes, genuinely see how this might be a berry-pancake situation.
It. Is. Delicious.
I haven’t had berry pancakes in years — probably since my husband and I bought our house.
When I first moved into my house, our next door neighbors came over with a welcome-gift: a container of blueberries. We decided the best use of the berries was in pancakes. Obviously. So we spent a nice brunch in our new house making new-friend pancakes on our new stove.
Which is something I hadn’t thought of in a while.
Thanks, Necessiteas. That was a really good day, and I’m experiencing it again now.
