Blackberry Tea

Enjoy Blackberry Tea in Many Variations

Blackberries have a delightful flavor and are rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, providing enjoyment and health benefits when used to prepare tea.

blackberry teaWhether mixed with Camellia sinensus (the tree from which all tea originates) leaves, herbs or brewed alone... the tea presents a sweet, fruity taste that can be enjoyed either hot or over ice.

The deep-purple berries are picked from thick bramble bushes that are grown in many parts of the world.

There are many ways to prepare and enjoy this refreshing, delicious tea.

  • The most traditional way is to pick blackberry leaves and dry them in the sun. Then, use a mortar and pestle to crumble 2 teaspoons of leaves per cup of boiling water. Steep for 5-10 minutes, and serve.

  • Mash fresh berries and put them through a sieve. Warm the liquefied berries and let them sit for a few hours. Then, pour the mixture into boiling water to make a fresh cup of tea. The amount of mixture you use depends on your taste preference.

  • Brew your favorite black, green, oolong, white or herbal tea and add store-bought blackberry syrup to make a sweet flavorful brew.

  • This fruit tea also can be found in loose or bagged form with flavor enhancements including vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, currants, mint and jasmine.
  • As an added treat, complement your tea with some sweetened fresh berries, fruit pies, tarts or scones.
