Double Berry Burst

Seriously, I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly berrylicious this tea is! AMAZING! Pure real blueberry/cranberry flavour is what I’m getting, and it’s way better than I would have imagined. I’m very picky about flavoured greens, and honestly wouldn’t have picked this one myself, I just jumped on it when Sil wanted to try it, and that was such a good decision :) This is pretty much the perfect hibiscus-free berry tea. I don’t frankly care if it’s artificially flavoured, because it is so good!

I’m a little disappointed with this one, gotta say. There’s something in it that just doesn’t fit. The dry mix includes little dried purple flowers but the ingredients listing only says: green tea, raspberries, blueberries, blueberry flavoring. If I had to guess I would say this might include lavender? I could be wrong though…hmmm…I kind of hope so, I really don’t like when ingredients lists are inaccurate or incomplete.

It was worth a try but this isn’t a tea I plan to keep stocked in my cupboard.

hmmm yeah this is not the tea for me. I suspect it’s due to the flowers that are in it but then again maybe not. This is like a weird tasting green soap flower almost berry tea. Ick. I’ve tossed the rest of it into cold brew for tomorrow to see if maybe that will bring out the berry flavours. If it does, this might be ok for a summer tea but otherwise…no way.

YAY! No Hibiscus!!!
Green tea, raspberries, blueberries, blueberry flavoring!!!

This has a sweeter Green tea base with lovely-plumpy-juicy raspberries and blueberries! It’s not tart! It’s very good! I think this is my fave from Della thus far!

Ok, I didn’t look this tea up before making it and the water temperature called for is insanely lower than what I used.

But it actually tastes just fine. I thought as it cooled it might get bitter, but that hasn’t happened thankfully.

Berry burst is right! This is seriously bursting with berry flavors. I predominantly taste blueberry and raspberry, of course these are what are in the tea, but I swear when you mix these two together you can almost get a bit of a blackberry taste.

The flavor is just like ripe, juicy berries. This is probably more of a summer tea, but it’s so sweet and fruity that I’d drink it any time. In summer though I would definitely make this cold steeped. I believe this is just from a try me pack, one I won on Facebook too I think, so I definitely plan to buy more next year to do just that!

OMGsrsly sent this to me to show me there was more than the pancake syrup maple-flavored tea I was getting out of most of Della Terra’s offerings. Many thanks!

I needed to add some Truvia to this to make it more juicy, and although this amped up the floral notes, I still found it tasty.

EDIT: Wow. There’s definitely something floral in here – I mean, I can see the flower buds. Zero in the ingredient list though. Not cool.

I thought I would like this one more! I’ve heard such nice things about it… but this one tastes just like the cough drop flavor that I didn’t like in the Raspberry White Melange. I didn’t get much of a blueberry flavor either. It’s odd that there were flowers in the blend, but no flowers listed in the ingredients on my bag. I really wish this one didn’t have that cough drop flavor, as I know I would have liked it. Oh well, just not my thing I guess!

There’s lavender in this tea! Its even in the picture! But not in the ingredients. Which I do NOT like one bit. With that said, I didn’t even tell my brother but he tasted it and immediately said “honestly. this tastes like soap” and while I enjoyed the tea I could see where he was coming from. Why is there lavender? Why? Its BERRY. So weird. steeped for 1.5 minute first infusion and 3 minutes second.

Oh, my goodness! This is liquid Starburst! I’m glad my husband likes it, because I’m not sure I could do the cup justice on my own.

I did this one as a cold steep, because I love iced fruity teas. But this one ended up tasting really odd. The berry flavor was there and the primary flavor, but there was a soapy, almost minty weird that I’m crediting the lavender (pretty sure it’s lavender, anyway) with. The berry flavor was just so-so. I just really don’t seem to care for a lot of Della Terra’s artificial flavoring.

The good news was that Fiance liked it and was more than happy to finish off the rest of my cup.
