Ella ★★★★★

The berry taste is bold without being tart, and it holds up nicely when I let it steep a little longer. I've been drinking it every afternoon this week and it's got that comforting briskness I want from a black tea, with a genuinely fruity finish.

Penelope ★★★★★

The jammy richness hits right after the brisk Ceylon base kicks in, so it's like drinking a berry compote that's still tea. Steeped it for four minutes with a splash of milk and it held up beautifully without turning bitter. This is my new cold-weather staple.

Grace ★★★★★

The berry notes are so bold they almost taste like actual jam, which makes this a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. I’ve been brewing it a little stronger than usual and it doesn’t turn bitter, just gets richer.
