★★★☆☆
While I enjoy sage in many foods, I guess I'm not a big fan of it in my tea. If you like sage, that flavor definitely comes through, stronger than the blackberry. Drank it iced.
Bold, earthy flavors of berries and herbs; a grounding tea with a complex character.

I d been excited to try this one for a while and I m glad I finally did! This is gonna sound weird but it has a very nice mouth feel? It feels very smooth. The sage is very prominent and I think it tastes wonderful.
I'm a sucker for an oolong, so when the Blackberry Sage Oolong appeared, I snapped it up right away. I was a little disappointed: I expected a juicier blackberry and stronger sage. Don't get me wrong, it was still nice, I just expected the flavors to be a bit zingier. I doubt I'll be buying this again, and instead invest in the maple cream oolong.
Enjoyed the unique flavor and liked that it was more subtle than flavored black tea.
My son is a big tea drinker, he liked this one but not his favorite
i love this tea. you taste the blackberry, and get a side punch of the sage. glad i tried it.
It smells nice but reminds me of minty gum. The berry taste is okay but the sage doesn't play well with the blackberry in my opinion.
Very tasty, with lots of interesting flavors. The oolong comes through nicely, while still having great berry and herbal flavors.
Love this mix of flavors - the sage is subtle but definitely there, and the berry is pleasant without being overwhelming.
I really enjoyed this tea. I was worried about the flavors 'warring' with one another, but it is quite the opposite. The flavors combine in a great compliment to one another. You definitely get more blackberry than sage, but the sage adds a nice little kick that keeps it from being a plain-jane fruit flavored tea.
This tea is good overall and has an interesting flavor. I would prefer if it had a little more blackberry flavor and a little less sage flavor.
It was a good Oolong, but wasn t actually very blackberry to me.
First time trying sage in tea and it was not for me. It was smooth and good quality, but I would have preferred a stronger blackberry flavor over the sage. I still encourage people to try it and see for themselves.
I was concerned this would be too heavy on the blackberry flavoring for my preference, but the sage turned out to be the prominent flavor here. That herbaceous goodness is the initial flavor, and then the tea mellows into a berry aftertaste. I'm thinking this would be fantastic iced with just a touch of sweetener.
Interesting flavor combination. I wasn't sure how I would like it, but it is quite good. I drank it hot but I'm sure it will be great iced too.
Uhm, wow! I totally love this one! Sweet berry flavor!
I thought this tea was ok, but was hoping for a stronger blackberry flavor. I am glad I sampled it.
Was surprisingly good! I was expecting it to be kind of week and not that interesting.
This tea is a bit odd for me. I tried it because I like blackberries. The fragrance is really nice and smells just like fresh blackberries. The sage is very subtle in the sent. I really was not overly thrilled by the tea. It had an odd taste to me. If I add sugar, I may like it more but it had a aftertaste that was weird. I am thinking it could be the sage that was off putting in this tea.
This is lovely. I thought it might not have worked well on a dark oolong base, but it absolutely does. The dark oolong doesn t outshine the blackberry flavor, but the sage is definitely the dominant taste in this blend. If you don t like sage, this blend is not for you. But I love sage and find this tea very earthy and grounding. It s great hot or iced, so it will be a year-round tea for me.
I like it but I'm still playing with it. The smell those is incredible. I will definitely get again.
Love, love blackberry anything and this Blackberry Sage Oolong does not disappoint. With just a hint of sage, it is a delightful tea with an unusual twist. Thank you for bringing unusual teas and for expanding my love for a different tea every day.
i don t really like fruit teas served hot (hot fruit just doesn t sound appealing) but this is amazing cold brewed or over ice, especially mixed with mint teas (minty comfort) or jasmine green
All I can say is if you like plum oolong, try this, it s so smooth and fruity and it has that darkness that plum oolong tends to have.
What an interesting flavor profile! I really enjoyed it.
As advertised, this tea has clear blackberry and sage flavor. It gives the tea a balance of sweet and savory. I do prefer non-flavored oolong to this blend though.
Layers of flavor. You get the sweetness of the blackberry with the subtle hint of sage to even things out. Plus, I love a good oolong!
A nice tea with enough fruity with each sip to keep it from being boring. Better then what I expected.
I really enjoyed this unique combination! The blackberry is sweet and not too much, and the sage is the perfect subtle flare at the end.
A bit too sweet for my liking, but not a bad tea. The berry is strong.
Blackberry and sage beautifully balance in this Oolong to make it a regular knitting companion.
I love this tea! The initial smell is fruity, you get mostly the blackberries. Once brewed however, the sage comes through lovely! Then the taste combines them, its wonderful!
Very interesting. The sage is somehow both subtle and strong? Subtle while you're sipping it, then a bit of an aftertaste. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I like it!
A delicious addition to the regular blackberry tea. Has a nice balanced flavor.
The smell was overpoweringly strong and artificial, making it rather hard to enjoy the tea. It s a lot of blackberries for the nose. The taste is rather subdued, and I imagine this would have tasted much better iced.
This tea was a pleasant surprise, the smell is mostly blackberries but the taste of the tea is mostly sage
Beautiful scent on opening the bag. Could not discern the sage scent or flavor. Tastes similar to Tazo's Blushberry, but with oolong instead of black tea. To my taste it needed sweetener - I use stevia. Would make a very nice, refreshing iced tea.
Ok, this one is a really really good one. I like how the sage is not over powering but maybe there could have been a little bit more of the sage. Overall its nice afternoon or evening tea.
The blackberry is a nice light flavor that goes well with the oolong.
Okay, but not what I d hoped. The sage was subtle, which is fine, but the blackberry was too subtle.
When you first open the bag you receive a delightful berry scent. Once brewed you’re able to smell the sage. The flavors work great together! It’s definitely worth a try!
I found the fragrance of this tea to be exactly what I'd hoped--the sage scent was pronounced, but nicely balanced with the fruity aroma. The sage is not quite as strong once the tea is brewed, but I'm still aware of it. To my tastebuds, the flavors seem very natural and blend together seamlessly. Though I'm drinking this hot at the moment, I imagine it will make a scrumptious iced tea!
This is a pleasant surprise. It has a strong blackberry scent in the package. When brewed the smell is lighter. The strongest tastes are blackberry and tea, with the sage a nice light after note. Will be adding to my rotation.
i was hoping for a strong sage flavour as I was surprised to see sage included in a tea blend, but could barely taste it.
