In color and flavor, the deep indigo-black tealeaves in Berry Noir echo the blackberries they are mixed with. In addition to black tea and whole blackberries, this blend contains flavorful pieces of muted-green blackberry leaves. Dry, it is richly aromatic, like blackberry compote. Brewed, it smells like syrupy-sweet, muddled blackberries with undertones of Darjeeling black tea's classic fruity-floral-earthy bouquet. The flavor is classic, pure and alluringly tart-sweet, with floral, earthy undertones and a light astringency. The aftertaste is mildly puckery, with notes of unripe berries.For consistent flavor across infusions, always shake the package before you measure your tea to brew.
