Flavor Profile

The tea is known for its sweet and fruity character, with reviewers noting a distinct grape-like tang reminiscent of real wine.

• Primary Notes: Beguiling sweet pear notes are the most prominent, followed by hints of berry and caramel.
• Aroma: The dry leaf produces a strong, sweet, and grape-y scent.
• Mouthfeel: The infusion has a bright, coppery color and a full-bodied black tea flavor, often described as having a pleasant "sparky" or juicy quality. Some reviewers suggest adding a touch of sugar to enhance the natural flavors.

Ingredients and Sourcing

Wild Bramble is blended in small batches, sourcing its luxury ingredients from various regions.

• Tea Base: A blend of high-grown black tea and sometimes white tea, sourced from Sri Lanka, Kenya, India, and China.
• Flavoring: Natural flavors (organic compliant) and real Ontario ice wine.
• Other Ingredients: Some variations of the loose leaf blend also include currants and raisin pieces.

Brewing and Characteristics

• Caffeine Content: Medium.
• Antioxidant Level: High.
• Brewing Instructions: It is generally recommended to use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz (240 ml) of hot water (around 205°F) and to steep for 3-5 minutes. Over-steeping may result in a soap-like or bitter taste for some individuals, so brewing time can be adjusted to personal preference.
• Versatility: The tea can be enjoyed hot or cold-brewed as an iced tea, which brings out its sweet-vine character even more.
