This is good. It s different. I didn t know how I d feel about sage in my tea, but I like it. It s not my favorite and I probably won t order it again, but I m enjoying it for now.
Bold, earthy flavors of berries and herbs; a grounding tea with a complex character.

I cold brewed this one and really liked it. The flavor was light but I also found it really pleasant and refreshing.
Great flavor highly recommended. Love the sweetness this tea gives.
This is one of my favorites! A nice blackberry and sage flavors. Yummy alone or with a bit of cream.
One of my favorite teas! The sage and blackberry are a great pairing. This has become my favorite morning tea.
Discovered this tea on the 2020 Advent Calendar for Day 10. It was richly delicious on the first, second, and third steepings. I immediately ordered it in the larger sizes. Sage is present at the beginning of the taste and the blackberry adds a delicious earthy sweetness — more like natural blackberry juice from fresh blackberries than like a sweetened blackberry pie. Will repurchase this as long as I can.
It smelled amazing from the start. I love that it's a sweet oolong with the mellow flavor of sage. I def picked it in an attempt to 'sage' my everyday life. It's helping :)
Husband and I loved this tea! If you've ever tried Republic of Tea's blackberry sage, this is very close, though imho this is more complex. It has actual sage in it, which you can pick up just barely when it's brewing. Yielded a very dark but not bitter tea that was wonderful on its own without any sweetener. I may try this iced next time! Also did a resteep with the same leaves and it made an equally delicious cup without any loss of quality.
The flavor is very earthy. It's not my taste, but it might be good in the fall.
Interesting with the savory taste of sage, which really comes through.
The berry and sage aroma is divine even before steeping and remains apparent after steeping. The tea is silky and smooth in the mouth. A nice blend that showcases both the blackberry and sage flavors. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors combined.
Great flavor. Wonderful afternoon pick me up. A little honey and its perfect
I first learned of this tea from the comments posted in the communiTEA chat by those who had it as part of the 2020 advent calendar. I was intrigued to try it! Opening the packet, its scent is unquestionably sage-forward, and that’s what I taste most when steeped. However, the blackberry and raspberry nicely balance the background. It’s great on its own as well as sweetened.
I love this tea! It makes a really nice tasting hot tea but it truly shines as an iced tea. I like to add boba to it and I am a very happy person. The sage just provides a very nice background for the blackberry and gives a fullness in the flavor for the tea.
Blackberry sage is one of my favorite combinations. This blend does not disappoint.
This is probably my new favorite tea. The sage is there right from the start with a slight berry taste. It immediately made me think of camping in the Rockies. The smell was very nostalgic for me and flavor wise it is delicious. Did not need sugar or cream and tasted wonderful.
This mixture is really good, I just think the flavor isn't exactly for me. I was worried about the raspberry being overpowering, but it's not! Tastes like a nice calming tea to me.
Nice, but not my favorite. I prefer it as a hot tea.
I absolutely love this combination and would never think that they would go together but Adagio knows how to create amazing blends and this did not disappoint. Smells amazingly juicy and calming at the same time and when brewed, it tastes exactly how it smells :)
I tried this tea iced, I left it in my fridge overnight and drank it in the morning, I wasn't the biggest fan of how all the flavors blended together, even though the concept sounded really interesting. I'll definitely try it again warm as intended and see how I feel about it.
This sample was on sale so I got it. The sage flavor overwhelmed the blackberry flavor, which wasn't something I liked. I wouldn't order again.
I would marry this tea if I could. It's delicious and soothes me when I'm all period brained. I'm going to have some now, actually.
Absolutely delicious. A favorite! Love the combination of flavors.
I was a little diasappointed with this tea. The blackberry and sage flavors did not come through as much as I had hoped. When I added a little rock sugar I could taste more of the blackberry, but the sage was still fainter than I would have liked.
The fragrance alone is worth buying but it's a very good tea
Very nice tangy notes and sweet alike it has a smoothness
I love how the fruity flavor was able to shine in this tea due to the subtlety of the oolong
Beautiful flavors and a morning favorite. The blackberry is enhanced by the sage, but neither overwhelms the lovely oolong.
I really enjoy this tea! Very berry forward with a nice savory aspect with the sage. It s a little weird at first, but the more I drink it, the more I like it.
Really unique flavor. Got this in the Advent Tea Calendar, and had to get some more. I haven t tried it cold yet - I think it will taste better cold - but the fruit and sage flavors make for a really rich, warm, almost savory blend.
I got this for my friend who wanted a berry tea and it was a hit! I like a little more of a stronger flavor but my friend loved it.
A pleasant blend of smooth oolong, aromatic sage, and earthy, grounding blackberry.
I love this te. It's so flavorful without tasting artificial
it s a surprisingly summery flavor that I could brew cold.
I did not enjoy the balance of this tea as I found the sage overpowered the other flavours. I'm considering using testing it out in a brine and am optimistic about that.
There is not much blackberry smell or taste to this tea.
There's a soothing, herbal taste to this tea, with a slight hint of berry. I found it to be very pleasant.
I can find fruity teas iffy. But oolongs are my favorite. This was a perfect marriage between the two. Enough tart fruit flavor and gentle tea undertones to make me very happy!
So earthy! It not too subtle, and the sage is a strong player. Tastes a lot like the green leaf tea.
Perfect amount of sage and sweetness, love this tea
I absolutely love this tea! The flavor is amazing! I get just a hint of both the blackberry and sage.
1st time I brewed this, I really enjoyed this tea. The 2and time was not as good for me.
Overall great aroma, blackberries really shine through.
Very strong flavors and good tastes, just realized this tea was not for me. Very astringent
Sweet and savory, this tea smells incredible in the packet and steeps to a smooth, delightful combination of flavors.
I usually only like fruit teas iced, but this one is really lovely hot, even on the 2nd steeping.
Weird but good! The sage come across more strongly than the blackberry, but it doesn t have any 'Thanksgiving Turkey' notes to it. I like this as a end of the work day tea.
I found that the sage was very present in this blend, balanced with sweet berry flavor. Both mixed well with the woody-sweet oolong.
This tea is one of my new favorites, I add a little sweetener but it is just pleasant.
This tea is flavorful and delicious. Go light on the sugar, it doesn't need much! I used to drink a blackcurrant tea from the local international store, and this is very reminiscent of that.
This a lovely tea. The blackberry and sage definitely come through in the aroma and the flavor. Nicely balanced and very flavorful.
