Description

This was one of the very first blends I created for Mabel Esther Trading Co., and it has stayed close to my heart ever since. At vendor markets, it’s always a customer favorite—I can barely keep enough of it on the table once people sample it! I designed this blend with iced tea in mind, and I always add our blueberry-infused sugar. The color turns the prettiest shade of purple, and the unique flavor of sage mingling with sweet berries keeps people coming back for more.

Flavor Profile:

Grassy sencha green tea provides a smooth base, brightened with citrusy lemongrass and crisp sage. Raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries bring a burst of fruity sweetness, while orange pieces round out the blend with a zesty lift. Fruity, herby, and refreshing—this tea truly captures the spirit of summer in a glass.

Ingredients:

Sencha green tea, sage, raspberry leaf, lemongrass, dried raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, orange pieces.

Loose Leaf Brewing Tips:

Use 1 Tbsp per 8–16 oz hot water (170°–175°). Steep 3–4 minutes for a gentle, refreshing brew. Save for a second steep.

Iced Tea Brewing Tips:

Use 1 Tbsp per 8 oz water. For iced tea kits, add the tea to the built-in steeper, pour in hot water, and brew for at least 10 minutes. Remove steeper, sweeten with blueberry-infused sugar, and refrigerate for a vibrant purple treat!

A Little Note:

Green teas are sensitive to steep time and temperature. Shorter, cooler steeps give a sweeter cup, while longer, hotter steeps bring a stronger brew.
