Summer Berry Blend

Most berry teas are caffeine-free tisanes, so this one stands apart: a fruity berry cup built on a real black-tea base with body and a gentle lift. Brew it strong, chill it, and pour over ice for the summer refresher it was made for, or drink it hot when you want a fruity cup with backbone.

Strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry ride over black tea, with whole cranberries and safflower petals in the blend for color and tang. It drinks fruit-forward and bright, with the malty depth of black tea underneath that a herbal berry tea does not have.

We blend and pack in small batches in Portland so the fruit and petals stay lively. Blended from black tea, cranberries, safflower petals, and natural strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry flavors. Contains caffeine from the black tea. No sugar, no preservatives. Vegan.

How do I brew it?
Use one teaspoon per eight fluid ounces of water. Heat fresh water to around 200°F, pour it over the tea, and steep for five minutes. Use fresh leaves each time you brew.

Does it have caffeine?
Yes. The base is black tea, so it carries caffeine like a standard black tea, unlike the caffeine-free berry tisanes it sits next to on the shelf.

Mine turned bitter. What happened?
Black tea grows bitter past its steep time. Hold to five minutes and keep the water around 200°F rather than a hard rolling boil, and the fruit stays forward.

How do I make it iced?
Brew it double strength at 200°F for five minutes, then pour over ice so it stays fruity once the ice melts.
