Mountain Huckleberry Black Tea

Description

Mountain Huckleberry Black Tea

Our Mountain Huckleberry Black Tea has all the flavor of the huckleberry, which is a flavory wild berry. Find full berry fruitiness with mountain freshness in this tea.

The Huckleberry is a versatile fruit, but is not to be confused with the famous Mark Twain novel, Huckleberry Finn. Indigenous to higher elevations thriving in an acid soil and a close relative of the blueberry, this fruit has a sweet robust, albeit tart, flavor when compared to its blueberry cousin and is generally not cultivated commercially. There is limited availability of huckleberries which probably accounts for part if its popularity. The huckleberries are a favorite food of bears and are thus adventurous to pick! There is a certain amount of wilderness factor associated with the huckleberry which make them quite scrumptious and a true delicacy.

Many of our friends love fruity teas, both black and green. They include our Strawberry Patch Green Tea, Blueberry Black Tea, Maple Blueberry Black Tea, Blueberry Green Tea, Bohemian Raspberry Green Tea, Tahitian Breeze Black Tea and Black Currant Tea to name a few.  We also many many fruit-based herbal teas, including Berry Fusion, Tropical Fruit and Strawberry Tart.  We have many more.

When in our store, one smell of these teas and the memories they evoke will take you away and you’ll understand why they are all so popular.
