Wild Blackberry Tea is a flavored black tea with the deep, jammy character of wild blackberries — a darker, more earthy, slightly tart fruit profile compared to cultivated berry flavors. Wild blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) have a more complex flavor than farmed varieties, with wine-like depth and a slight tartness that keeps the sweetness from becoming one-dimensional. Over a bold black tea base, the wild blackberry character creates a rich, satisfying cup.
In quality loose-leaf versions, the wild blackberry character comes from natural blackberry extract and sometimes dried fruit pieces. The dark, jammy flavor pairs particularly well with full-bodied black teas that can match the fruit’s intensity.
In the cup, Wild Blackberry Tea brews a deep amber with a rich, fruity-dark berry aroma. The body is medium-full, the fruit character deep and slightly tart.
Brew at 195°F for 3–4 minutes. Use 2 grams per 8-ounce cup.
