Labor Day Tea: Huckleberry
4:04 PM
On this warm Labor Day, after unpacking my tea box and finding gems that I hadn't been able to enjoy all summer, I decided to have some nice Wild Huckleberry Tea.
I bought this last summer while on a cruise to Alaska. At the Kethikan stop there was a cute little souvenir shop. Of course, once I saw that there were teas, flavors which I had never seen before, I had to buy them. That day, I came home with this beauty and a Salmonberry flavor. (And look at how cheap!).
This tea is just great. Good quality black tea with a full-bodied flavor of huckleberry. If you had never tried this fruit, it taste kind of like a cross between a blueberry and a blackberry (to me, at least). You get the slight bitterness from the black tea along with the sweet and sour flavor of the berry. Huckleberries also have antioxidant properties, Vitamins B and C, as well as high levels of iron. And don't fear over brewing! I left the bag in the whole time I was drinking it and it didn't taste off at all.
Happy Tea Drinking,
TTT<3
