Let’s talk about Pomegranate Wild Berry Black Tea from Teavery, shall we? WHY am I so excited about this tea? Well, first and foremost because Pomegranate Wild Berry Black Tea from Teavery does NOT contain hibiscus! Woot! This flavored black tea contains Organic Black Tea, Organic Black Raspberry Leaf, Organic Calendula, Organic Corn Flowers, Blueberry, Blackberry, and Raspberry Flavorings. NO HIBISCUS! Yippie!
If you could see me right now I am doing a crazy little dance but you will just have to take my word for it!
The smell of the dry ingredients is very wine-like and I would say that is a PLUS. Once infused I could smell the black tea with the berry flavors. The infusion color is a medium brown. The flavor is really quite something! Pomegranate Wild Berry Black Tea from Teavery has a medium black tea strength paired with a tarty pom and various berry flavors all playing together well! The floral notes play more of a part on to the aftertaste more than anything.
Pomegranate Wild Berry Black Tea from Teavery is a WINNER. It’s YUMMY hot or cold. It’s tart but not too tart and berry but not too berry. Plus you can still taste the black tea base! Two thumbs up for this one!

Passion Peach Tea from Teavery
Our Thoughts:
Passion Peach Tea from Teavery surely SMELLED peachy and even TASTED peachy…but…I was surprised to learn that this loose leaf contained orange peel AND elderberry which I think were both nice additions. I think I can taste the orange peel as much as the peach flavor. It gives it a bitterness to even out the sweetness. There is a bit of rooibos in this mix, too, which helps with the sweetness as well. Oh yes! This has Passion Fruit flavor in there, too! This mixture of ingredients seemed to be well thought out and wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill peach flavored tea and for that I’m grateful!
As I continue to sip this Passion Peach Tea from Teavery I find myself really concentrating on the black tea base (that is blended with the rooibos, that is). With everything going on in this flavored tea I can still taste the black tea, thankfully. The black tea is strong and has a deep crusty taste to it. There are a lot of flavors in this cup and it’s almost like a wheel of flavor spinning around and around in your mouth. I’m really LOVING the layers of flavor in Passion Peach Tea from Teavery.

Taster’s Review:
When discovering Peach Blossom from Fusion Teas I find the bag proclaims this tea as an oolong, it is in fact a blend of several types of tea. I do taste the oolong, and it is nice, rather on the mellow side though but I feel that is exactly what this tea is wanting to portray.
Its a lovely exploration into the orchard or garden. A quite time with your favorite book, or a serene landscape where little creatures feel safe to play. That is the emotion this tea evokes.
The peach flavor in this tea is not over done, although personally I can never get enough peach, but it is nice, subdued, and well mannered. I do get just a touch of the flavoring as being somewhat artificial like, but not so much so that it turns me off.
The mouthfeel is slightly full, a tad but creamy, and heavy enough that I feel one could ice this nicely.
I like the touch of jasmine green and jasmine petals in this tea and again, it is not over done and does not take on too much of a floral aspect yet is easy enough to detect.
Normally I am not a big fan of so many teas being blended together. I often find that the blend would have been far better if only one tea base had been chosen. This tea however seems to do exactly what it has aimed to do. It creates a soft balance between a fruity tea, a floral tea, and a tea that whispers in your ear gently, yet is strong enough to stand it’s ground. Just like the Heroine in one of my favorite books. This may just have to be in my tea rotation to drink while reading outdoors this spring!
