Wild Blackberry Tea
Premium Naturally Flavored Tea from Sri Lanka
Wild blackberries are widespread throughout Europe and the Americas. The plants grow on spiky canes that droop lower to the ground as it grows. When the tip of the cane touches the ground, a new plant stems from the tip and grows roots. There are many folklore stories from different cultures that explain the way the plant grows.
According to one story, Blackberry was once a tree that grew straight
and tall. He was popular with the animals and lived in peace for a long
time. As time went on, Blackberry became less and less friendly. He became
mean. He would grab any animal that walked by and squeeze the animal with
his prickly arms. He killed many animals. The ground around him became rich
with all of the bones of the animals he trapped. Blackberry grew taller and
stronger with such good soil.
The animals got very upset. They told the wolf, Spelyi, what Blackberry was
doing. Spelyi thought about the problem and came up with a solution. He saw
a tall fir tree growing near Blackberry. Spelyi took a club, climbed to the
top of the fir tree and pounded Blackberry's branches until they all fell to
the ground. Even to this day, Blackberry grows down on the ground where he
cannot hurt the animals of the forest.
In our Wild Blackberry Tea, we blend all-natural blackberry flavoring with high grown teas from the top three tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic ‘Ceylon’ tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade).
