Key Characteristics:

Organic Green & Black Tea Base:

  • Flavor Profile: The blend of organic green and black teas offers a balanced foundation that is simultaneously fresh and rich. The green tea brings lightness with a subtle vegetal sweetness, while the black tea provides a deep, malty base that gives the blend its full-bodied character.
  • Aromatic Complexity: Together, these teas combine a smooth, robust depth with a mild astringency, allowing the berry and floral notes to shine through without overpowering the delicate flavors of the blend.

Jasmine Flowers:

  • Floral Elegance: Jasmine flowers add a gentle, fragrant floral note that elevates the tea, infusing it with a calming, aromatic sweetness. This element brings a touch of sophistication and romance to the brew, complementing the berry flavors beautifully.
  • Subtle Sweetness: The jasmine’s natural sweetness enhances the fruity flavors of the tea, creating a harmonious balance with the tangy elderberries and currants.

Elderberries:

  • Rich & Tangy: Elderberries introduce a tart, berry-like flavor that deepens the overall taste of the blend.

Currants:

  • Dark & Fruity: Currants add a rich, dark fruitiness that enhances the depth of the tea. Their slightly sour-sweet flavor profile complements the elderberries.
  • Flavor Profile: These small berries have a deep, concentrated sweetness that balances the tartness of the elderberries, contributing to the smooth, refreshing finish of the tea.

Hibiscus:

  • Tangy & Vibrant: Hibiscus flowers bring a vivid, tart note to the blend and adds a refreshing zing that contrasts beautifully with the mellow sweetness of the berries and jasmine.
  • Bright & Bold: The hibiscus helps to brighten the tea and cut through the natural richness of the black tea, giving it an effervescent quality.

Flavor Profile:

  • Fruity & Refreshing: "Kiss of Blueberry" combines the sweet and tangy flavors of blueberries, elderberries, and currants, creating a berry-forward, juicy experience. The hibiscus enhances the fruitiness, while the jasmine flowers lend a soft, fragrant sweetness.
  • Floral & Smooth: The green and black tea base offers a smooth, slightly astringent backdrop, balancing the vibrant, fruity flavors and allowing the delicate floral notes to come through.
  • Tangy & Invigorating: The combination of hibiscus and elderberries delivers a tangy lift that invigorates the senses, making each sip both refreshing and energizing.

Brewing Tips:

  • Water Temperature: Use water between 165-175°F (73-79°C) for the perfect extraction of flavors, allowing both the floral and fruity notes to bloom without bitterness.
  • Steeping Time: Brew for 3-5 minutes, adjusting based on your taste preferences. A shorter steeping time will highlight the floral and fruity notes, while a longer steep brings out the deeper flavors from the hibiscus and elderberries.

Health Benefits:

  • Antioxidants: The combination of green tea, black tea, and elderberries provides a rich source of antioxidants, supporting overall health and well-being.
  • Immune Support: Elderberries are known for their immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, making this tea a great option for maintaining vitality.
  • Digestive Aid: Green tea aids digestion and metabolism, making this tea not only a refreshing drink but also a beneficial one for digestive health.
