I love this tea! The mild earthiness of the Sage compliments the deep fruitiness of the Blackberry so incredibly well. Its a beautifully balanced tea, no bitterness even if its been grossly over-steeped.
Bold, earthy flavors of berries and herbs; a grounding tea with a complex character.

Best hot in my opinion but it’s incredibly pleasant and comforting.
One of my new favorites. It's great either hot or iced! Enjoy!
The sage flavor was strong and overpowered the blackberry flavor. It was to earthy in taste because of this.
I can’t say enough about this blend! The sage gives it a flavor unique in itself that is delicious. Next time will close brew!
I really like this blend. Not over powering in scents. The blueberry stands out the most, but again, blends in nicely. I’d say a medium bodied tea. I like it both hot and cold.
Great mix of flavors. The blackberry and sage Work very well together.
Not my favorite tea, but if you need a nice morning pick-me-up this tea is perfect. The sage is very strong so be cautious.
Delicious! A little more mild in flavor than I would have liked but still very tasty. Similar to the Grapefruit Oolong, this one also doesn't have full Oolong tea leaves, but more in pieces. Not sure if I'd get it again only because I prefer a stronger blackberry flavor.
This tea smells oddly chocolately to me, but it might just be a scent association between raspberries and black tea that makes me think of dark chocolate. Brewed, this tea has more of the buttery/tart green oolong flavors come forward and a touch more of the blackberry juiciness. I'm not picking up much sage in the smell or taste, as the blackberry and raspberry are the driving flavors. I really like the choice to have a more dark berry oolong tea alongside the more classic coconut or stone fruit flavors. I wish there was a bit more sage herbal in the mix and a little less berry, since the name is blackberry sage, not just blackberry. Still a very tasty blend.
Love the flavor on this - 2nd cup is actually better than the 1st!
This tea is absolutely perfect for the summer. Quite tasty hot, absolutely magical iced. The blackberry is prominent and refreshing. The sage hits you more at the end, and is equally pleasant. One of my favorites for sure!
Herbal with a light berry flavor. A wonderful blend! Great to relax with in the evening! I love sage in tea blends! And it pairs so nicely with the blackberry!
Very nice light fruity tea. I enjoyed it best iced with a tiny bit of sugar.
This has a genuine blackberry flavor thats not overbearing. Its a lovely pair with the earthiness flavor of the tea.
Delicious tea! Sage notes really come through, but not too strongly. Sweet blackberry taste in the background. Will purchase again!
This may sound a little strange but this tea smells and tastes like a blue slush puppie and I love it! I haven't had a slush puppie since I was a kid and it took me a while to figure out what it reminded me of. But, it's 100% a blue slush puppie in tea form. Very nostalgic.
This flavor wasn't my cup of tea (pun sadly intended). There was nothing particularly wrong, it just didn't suit my tastes.
Since my local coffee shop is closed due to Covid, I have been drinking lots of iced tea at home. I liked their Blackberry Sage iced tea (another brand) so decided to try this one. I am so happy I did!! Delicious
Wow! Adagio, please make more teas with sage, because this is *delicious*! It adds such a different quality to black teas and elevates it beyond a regular tea flavor.
When hot brewed I feel that some of the herbal flavor gets lost. It is great added in your water bottle for flavor. I can taste the sage and the blackberry adds a little sweet!
I was hoping for the blackberry to pop a little more. The sage overpowers the oolong a bit- but I’m sure it’s delightful if you really like sage.
I love this tea so much! it has a really earthy herbal flavor from the sage that compliments the tart blackberry flavor.
Absolutely adore this tea. I didn't even actively seek it out; it was sent to me as an add-on bonus, but I am so glad I chose it! The berry flavor isn't overwhelming and the safe pairs so well with the Oolong! It's my favorite way to start the day!
This tea is great in blends and it’s pretty good by itself but a bit sweet for me.
This tea is super duper delicious and balanced. I love it.
Barely getting started in tea but this tea is a nice mid day tea for me. I wish there was a stronger sage flavor but you can for sure taste the sage in it.
When I was a young warthog, I used to drink BlackBerry Sage tea from a different brand, in bags instead of loose. I believe it was Republic of Teas. I was totally obsessed with it. This is even better than that one in my opinion! The sage is absolutely perfect and not too strong, but prominent enough to not be overpowered, and the BlackBerry tastes so fresh and clean and dark... then the Oolong, which compliments the other two flavors amazingly... I'm going to start keeping this in the house all the time now.
I drink this almost daily. It’s my go to oolong. So tasty!!!
Good earthy tea with a hint of fruity flavour, good as a dessert tea
A pleasant cup of tea. Oolongs have a very particular taste that I never know quite how to describe. I find it comforting and almost earthy. The blackberry and the sage pair well with it.
This tea smells absolutely wonderful in the bag. Once brewed, the scent is lighter but still lovely. I tend to brew my teas strong, but I still get that hit of blackberry with a hint of sage on the back end. I would say this would be a wonderful choice for someone who s not big on fruity/sweet teas, but still wants a brew with some additional flavor.
Update- make sure to drink this while it's still warm, it loses a lot of depth of flavor when cool.
This oolong isn't a very fruity tea like I thought it would be. Instead it is more earthy, and the blackberry flavors isn't very pronounced. I found it enjoyable
This tea I found to be very flavorful and delightful!
Ok THIS is great, this is how you make a perfect blend ! Good job guys !!
I love this in the morning! Blended perfectly and not one note overpowers the other. Its so perfect and gets me jazzed for my day!
The blackberry flavor - which tastes not unlike potpourri - overpowers this, though the sage does come through and gives this blend some of its better taste notes.
This has a rich fruity flavor, but it's balanced with the Oolong. I'm not sure I get the notes of sage. I've had it hot and even turned it into an iced-tea with success.
Wonderful blend of sweet and savory as the blackberry and sage play very well together. Added to the mellow smoothness of the oolong and this tea is a home run either hot or iced.
All I could taste in this tea was the sage and I did not enjoy it. I love blackberry, so I had high hopes, but it just did not hit the spot for me.
I have been wanting to try this for a while and finally decided to buy a sample and it's really good! You don't really taste sage but its really fruity and such an amazing smell!
This tea is delicious! It works great hot or iced.
Top five favorite tea! So very delicious! The flavors balance perfectly together.
Very fruity, earthy, and elegant tea! The fruit comes through in the taste and the sage complements the oolong very well. Still good after the second steep too.
Blackberry is quickly becoming my favorite fruit tea. The sage is pronounced (though not overly so) in this one, which may make a difference in whether you like it or not. I love how smoothly this one goes down--the right blend of oolong and herbal. If you're a fan of blackberry teas, give it a try!
Great berry oolong flavor with a subtle sage taste.
It was very nice, but the sage taste took me by surprise. I had to get used to it. A nice herbal blend.
Easily my favorite oolong tea so far by a mile. Well balanced flavors, very smooth. Will be one of my staple teas.
This wasn't exactly what I expected. The sage is nice, but the blackberry tastes like bitter candy. I dunno. I'm glad I tried it, I suppose.
Love this tea! Not usually one for blackberry but this is a new fav
