Berry-forward. No apologies.
Sri Lankan black tea has a boldness to it that a lot of fruity blends can't handle. Wild blueberry can. The fruit doesn't get steamrolled here — it comes through clean, a little tart, a little sweet, rounding out the full-bodied base without making it taste like a candle or a lollipop. It's a fruit-and-black-tea pairing that actually works.
Raspberry leaves bring a quiet tartness underneath that keeps everything from going sugary. The result is a cup that's genuinely satisfying whether you drink it straight, over ice, or with a splash of milk. It holds up to all three. No fussing required.
Brew it hot on a Tuesday morning when you need something that tastes like it has its act together. Cold brew it overnight and have iced tea waiting for you by noon. Either way, it takes about five minutes of actual effort. The rest is just waiting.

How to Brew
Hot:
1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water. Bring water to a full rolling boil (212°F). Steep 3–5 minutes. Pull at 3 minutes to drink it black; go to 5 minutes if you're adding milk or sweetener — the extra time gives the flavor something to hold onto.
Iced (hot brew method):
Brew hot as directed with slightly less water than usual. Let it cool, pour over ice. The reduced water compensates for ice melt so it doesn't go flat.
Cold brew:
2 teaspoons per cup of cold water. Refrigerate 8–12 hours. Pull and pour over ice. Milk optional — it turns into something close to a blueberry cream situation if you let it.
One 2 oz bag makes approximately 22–28 cups, depending on brew strength. Re-steeping is an option for a lighter second cup.

Store in a cool, dry spot away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Reseal the bag after each use. A cabinet shelf works fine — no need for anything special.
FAQ
Is this tea caffeinated?
Yes — it uses a black tea base, so it has a moderate to high amount of caffeine. Solid morning or afternoon territory.
Does this tea taste sweet without adding sugar?
It has a naturally fruity and bright character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. How sweet it tastes depends on brew strength and what you add, but it's genuinely good on its own.
Can I make this iced?
Yes. Brew hot as directed, then let it cool and pour over ice. For a stronger iced version, brew with slightly less water than usual so it doesn't go flat when the ice melts. It holds up well cold.
Can I add milk to this tea?
Yes — Wild Blueberry Black Tea holds up well with milk. Any milk works — dairy or non-dairy. Oat milk and whole milk both complement the berry notes without fighting them. If you're adding milk, steep for the longer end of the time range so the flavor doesn't get washed out.
