Apparently I am the only one who gets to try this one or something!! DT sent it by mistake with my last order instead of the Blueberry Cream that I LOVE, but they sent that one to me after I mentioned it anyway. Della Terra is amazing. They sent this a couple months ago and I still don’t see it on the site. NOTE this is NOT Blackberry Bramble… another blend that DT has. This one has different ingredients. I was a bit worried to try this one, as the Blackberry Bramble is my least favorite from DT, shockingly even more so than their Dirty Chai that everyone seems to LOATHE more than I do. :D But this one is so much better! I only steeped for two minutes to tame the blackberry leaves, as they like to get bitter on me (like Adagio’s Jane Austen’s Mafia that this reminds me of). But this one actually has a nice sweet blackberry flavor with a bit of creaminess and just the right amount of bitterness from the blackberry leaves. Very good! They should really replace Bramble with Cream.

Anyone else ever have this tea in hand? I’m starting to think they only blended this little sample pouch. I’d love to hear the real story behind this mysterious blend that doesn’t seem to exist — with anyone else or on the site. I don’t think it’s an old blend, as they sent it to me just recently. It’s like DT knew I really didn’t like their existing blackberry blend and wanted to fix it. But they probably aren’t THAT good.

Oh my Blackberry Creme was a trial run. Today is your lucky day! Blackberry Cream is going to be on our list of teas to purchase very soon. We are very happy you enjoy it :)

Oh nice. Mystery solved! haha. I really enjoyed that blend! I love that DT keeps adding more blends. Yesterday I was just rearranging some teas and opening some of the DT blends for smell tests that I didn’t try yet. They all smell so good. :D

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
