From Apolis Tea

Origin: House Blend
Flavor: ripe blackberry, citrus, tart

What says “Pacific Northwest” more than blackberries? Not a lot! This organic house blend of black teas combines juicy, ripe blackberries with the bright citrus flavor of cold-pressed bergamot oil. Excellent with milk and sugar; delicious hot; and show-stopping over ice.

INGREDIENTS: organic black teas, organic blackberries, natural flavor, organic blackberry leaf, organic bergamot oil (Italy).

About Apolis Tea View company

We first met in Alaska 13 years ago, where we both grew up. We both liked adventure and the look of each other. Thirteen years and a couple of kids later we started Apolis Tea. During our combined 25 years in the tea industry, we’ve learned a lot about tea. We’ve also learned the importance of developing long-term relationships you can rely on. This means we have some old-fashioned ideas about being prompt, available, and reliable. Every successful business has a reason for being. A purpose that guides its decisions and ultimately defines it. Ours is craftsmanship. Our craft is in the art of blending and the science of sourcing teas and ingredients. Our producers are craftsmen and women as well; together, we work to create noteworthy teas you will get excited about. The history of tea is as much about innovation as it is about tradition. We are always looking for new ingredients that no one else works with. We make a point to work with producers who work with interesting cultivars and use biodynamic or organic farming techniques. We promise that every tea holds true to tradition but also brings a little something special. We hope to hear from you soon. A + A

I don’t recall exactly how I found this tea company, but I stumbled upon their website somehow. They have some interesting blends, and offer samples for $2 a pop, so how could I resist? XD I will say, the samples are fairly generous too, with enough tea for two large mugs.

This is the first tea I saw from them, so I figured I would steep it up first as well. It’s quite lovely. I sometimes have issues with blackberry and mixed berry flavoring tasting chalky to me, but thankfully this one isn’t like that. It has a lovely sweet-tart fresh blackberry flavor to it, which goes so well with the citrusy bergamot. The flavoring level overall is somewhat restrained, but I can still taste both flavors clearly. The base has a touch of musty earthiness, but is also somewhat tannic, so I assume it’s a blend of multiple black teas.

So off to a good start with Apolis! So nice to find a blackberry flavor that I enjoy, and looking forward to trying more teas.

I have found that I really like bergamot in combination with a wide variety of fruity and/or sweet flavors. It’s surprisingly versatile

I agree – in fact, I very rarely drink a plain Earl Grey, I always want variations with other flavors!

Who’s calling me “plain”? ;-)

I am also happy to drink typical earl grey, though usually decaf, but I have been surprised just how nicely it plays with other flavors.
