Thank you to Nina’s Tea for the sample of this!
I had tried it once before but wanted to give it another go. The description is certainly enticing. Vanilla, caramel and berries. Sounds like other teas I love, for example Harney and Sons Paris, except that one has the bergamot in it.
I’ve reached the conclusion that perhaps red berry black teas are not really for me. I can tell that this is a well done tea. It’s very smooth and the flavours mingle well together. The vanilla and caramel tone down the red berry taste, but there still is a bitterness for me, which I imagine must be the fruit.
Ultimately it is a soft and enjoyable tea, if red berry black teas are your sort of thing.
It is safe to say at this juncture that they’re not my thing, though I’m very glad I got to try this!
My previous rating was 69 but I removed that because I can tell this is a nice tea, just not one for me.
