Description: Alpine Berry Herbal Tea is the perfect complement to a day in the wilderness. We looked to create an herbal tea that was rich, complex and full, like our camellia sinensis (black, green and white) teas. We started with blackberry leaves, strawberry, and raspberry flavors and essences to create an herbal, naturally sweet and refreshing medley which can be enjoyed both hot in winter or iced in summer. This is a great beverage for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients: Herbal Potpourri of Hibiscus, Apple Peel, Rose hips, Blackberry leaves and Orange Peel.
Steep Information:
Amount: 2 teabags
Additives: none

Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell:
Steeped Tea Smell: sour, berry, floral, defiantly getting hibiscus and blackberry, if i sniff and think hard i get the citrus note at the end lightly. Not getting the apple or rose at all.
Flavor: delicious apple berry hibiscus punch! a little tangy, starts sweet, then sour/tang, then sweet again. I love it, it's like a fruit cocktail.
Body: Full
Aftertaste: sweet berry with lingering apple
Liquor: deep dark opaque purple-red
See my company review here.
I love this tea, it's delicious and full of flavor, and the flavors and a blend, you can pick them out if you try (well i can't find the rose) but not the weird teas that the flavors seem to be separate and not mesh.
I need to cut back on my caffeine so there will be plenty more herbals coming up.
This packaging is excellent for at work, the individual packs keeps it fresh and i don't need to keep the box when it gets low (and my drawer will still be clean). Also teabags are just so convenient at work.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: over 15 minutes, 16 ounces, BLEH, pretty barely translucent reddish purple WATER, not much flavor at all :(
Rating: 3/3
