Scotch and Abram's Wild Blackberry is a flavored black tea built around real blackberry leaves and natural blackberry flavoring on a full-bodied black tea base. Mallow and cornflower petals add a subtle softness to the blend and give the loose leaf a beautiful appearance. The blackberry character here is bold and juicy rather than sharp or artificial - the kind that tastes like picking wild blackberries rather than a flavored drink. Full-bodied and smooth with sweet, naturally tangy wild blackberry notes. The black tea base gives the cup real substance - this is not a fruit infusion dressed up as a tea. The blackberry is vivid and present, the tea is solid underneath it. Works hot or iced, and particularly good over ice in summer when the berry character feels most refreshing. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Try it black first - the blackberry comes through brightest without milk. How does it compare? Similar character: Scotch and Abram's Blackcurrant Brighter and more tart: Scotch and Abram's Raspberry More floral: Scotch and Abram's Wild Rose Blackcurrant is the closest companion in the range - same bold, dark berry character on a full-bodied black tea base, sharper and more intense. Raspberry is brighter and more tart if you want something with more edge. Wild Rose shares the same blackberry leaves in the blend but leads with rose rather than berry.
