I was surprised to like this as I generally don't like hibiscus flowers and they were the first ingredient. But this was a very nice fruity blend that really did taste like a berry compote without the actual pieces of fruit. It was very enjoyable!
Blackberry, blueberry and strawberry flavors party playfully in your cup like a rich berry compote with a dollop of cream.

The packet had a nice berry aroma. It brewed to a pretty red color. The taste was a mixed berry taste, nicely tart.
While a very good cuppa, I would say it’s more of a hibiscus-berry tea than a berry-creme tea. I didn’t care for it hot, but added honey and stuck it in the fridge for later - much better! But it was a little heavy on the hibiscus for me, that’s the main reason I knocked off star. Though I liked the hibiscus in this blend more than I usually do!
It's very blueberry forward, I was looking forward to this one but I wasn't necessarily wowed. Which is interesting but it was rather nice still
CommuniTEA sample: 5 min @ 212 F, second infusion for 10 minutes @ 212 F. I tried this tea both hot and iced. It had pros and cons each way. I felt that hot, it is a little bit sweeter, while when it was iced, it had more of the tart hibiscus flavors. More of the berry flavors came out while it was cold also, but so did more of the creme flavoring. I found the creme flavoring to be very artificial and cloying, and I didn't like it. I also think that there are just too many flavorings in this blend, and my first cup when it was hot, there was a weird mouthfeel because of that, maybe a little bit slick? I think that I liked my second cup when it was iced best. I feel like that had a good balance of flavor, not too sweet, generally fruity, overall it's an okay tea.
lovely deep color, bright berry flavor, creamy undertones, this delightful tea is everything I had hoped!
I love all the ingredients on this list and was excited to try this one. Even though I really like hibiscus that was the only reason I dropped one star off this one. I felt like it was just a little too tart and took away from the sweetness that was there. I could have easily remedied this by adding sweetener, but I try to review things without additives when possible. I do still think this tea is good and would probably be amazing both iced or hot with milk and sweetener, but it just landed a little too far on the tart side for me in a drink that is aiming for sweet and creamy. Would still drink again, but would experiment with the cup more next time. 212° 10 min
In a yellow cuppa the liquor was a lovely rose hue. The aroma sweet and fruity. On the tongue a bouquet of fresh berries with a slight tart back of the throat presence. I did not add sweetener although I feel it would make those berries pop in juiciness as if they were ripe and fresh off a vine. Pleasant summer tea for Fridge steeping.
A very bright, tart, and tangy tea with very intense fruity smell and taste, with a subtle cream note.
Fruity and fresh tasting tea. Great as a hit tea as well as iced!
This is nothing special, but it combines well with spearmint. It's not bad, just not my favorite.
Yummy! Very very berry! Tart but great with some local honey
This tea was surprisingly good! The fruit flavors were not overwhelming or too strong in any way and the overall taste was smooth.
Very good and full of flavor. I will be purchasing this one again
This tea is quite nice. Very fruity with a touch of creaminess. Perfect for the warmer weather. I like to drink it hot or cold.
This berry cream compote has the most delightful aroma I like to mix it with my other fruit trees hot or cold this tea is the bomb
Love how full of flavor this one is. You get the bright berry with a rich creaminess that coats your mouth. Good for a double steep too.
I really love this fruity deliciousness! Highly recommend if you like fruit teas!
Strong flavor!!! You dont need much to get to the flavor. Its really good and i cant wait to order more
This one could very well be my all time favorite! The perfect combination of sweet, creamy and berry flavors always has me going back for a second cup!
Absolutely amazing berry tisane with the creamy notes. Opening the bag hit me with the sweet cream scent, but once steeped, the berries took the stage as well.
First time trying and was not disappointed. I love berries and cream. I like it hot or iced but I think I like it a little better cold.
This tea quickly has become my favorite. It tastes great warm and chilled, especially chilled. I'm usually not a fan of berry flavors, but this tastes so much like REAL berry; the taste is sweet dipping into tart, its beyond refreshing. Huge recommend.
I used to be pretty resistant to herbal teas, especially ones with sweet berry flavors, but this one is truly something special. It’s not overly sweet, making it a perfect tea to enjoy alongside dessert.
This Berry Creme Compote tea is so refreshing and flavorful! The berry flavors are sweet, not tart, and the creme flavor compliments the berries. This is a delicious caffeine free blend that should be enjoyed plain. I very much enjoyed this hot but I think it would taste fantastic iced.
I did a longer steep on this one (7 minutes) according to the package and wow is this one bitter.
I got a 3 oz sample and am debating on whether to try it again or just pitch the bag. Maybe I would like it better iced.There is a lot of berry flavor to this but I just can't finish it like this. Very nice color though. Reminds me too much of hibiscus.
Had a sample of this and came back for more my daughter loves this too
As my daughter says, this tea tastes like dessert. Both my husband and daughter love this tea, it will have a permanent jar in our tea collection.
Hibiscus tea with a strong scent of berry and creme. The flavor is tasty but less berry and little creme flavor.
Gorgeous taste - my favorite out of the haul I got. Will definitely purchase again! Very flavorful
Loved this one! It’s beautifully rich and creamy. I will definitely be getting it again! It’s become a favorite for my kids.
This tea is creamy yet tart. Love it both hot or iced.
We really enjoyed it! It was a nice end to a summer night.
Sweet and creamy. It’s like eating a handful of fresh picked berries. Enjoy in front of a nice fire
This is a delicious, creamy treat of a tea. I love the fruit forward berries with the smooth finish. It is like dessert!
my all time favorite blend, you can drink this hot, cold, room temp... theres not a single way to prepare this tea that it tastes bad
Love it, absolutely amazing by itself or mixed with other teas
The Berry Creme Compote smells extremely strong, and tastes like a fruit rollup. If you're looking for a trip through nostalgia, you'll love this tea.
This was my favorite fruit tea blend. The tea was slightly sour but the sweet flavor from biting the fruit pieces balanced it.
I really wasn’t into this as much as I thought I would be. The cream flavor was sort of tangy and artificial. Definitely better iced though still not a favorite.
was hoping it would be better than it was. Tried it just about every way i could, still didnt care for it.
Another new favorite!! Love the balance of fruit flavour with the creamy hint of vanilla-such a good combo
The smell, flavor and color on this tea is amazing, both alone and blended. When my Watermelon Cooler is mostly apples and no color, a quarter teaspoon of this makes it a TASTY treat. Mixed with jasmine black (second steep,) it makes for a fruity, floral delight.
By itself, however, this tea still shines. I always brew mine a little longer so the flavor is more pronounced (can't overbrew fruit!,) and when I am craving something dessert-like without being cloyingly sweet, this one is a reliable go-to. Iced or hot, I am a huge fan. The cream note is there without hammering the fruit into submission. Perfection.
Love, love, love... definitely on my favorite list. I need this tea in my life. Love everything about it. I wish this tea was available all the time.
One of my favorite summer teas. It is fresh and delicious cold brewed, sweetened with a little honey and served iced.
As a lover of berries and cream I wanted to love this so much but it was just terrible. I don't get the positive reviews. It just tasted like hot tangy berry water, no cream flavor at all, and no sweetness from berries as you'd expect. I made huge batches and drank it over a couple days just to get rid of it (I bought the sample size). Disappointed.
This tea is so sweet tangy and fruity. It's the closest thing to the limited edition Valentine's month tea back from February.
Sometimes this is everything I ever wanted in a sweet herbal tea reminiscent of summer - and other times it somehow tastes like one of those chewable vitamins we had as kids. Not sure why - but it's worth checking out!
This soon as I started opening it you can smell it I had a really good smell of berry and cream I would definitely buy another bag I like it
Love this tea. Such bright and rounded out flavor!!
