How do blackberry leaves differ from ordinary herbal tea, and what do they taste like? — Rubus caesius, grass and leaf 40gr

The main difference is the flavour profile. Blackberry leaves contain tannins, which give the infusion its characteristic tartness and an astringent aftertaste. This is not a gentle floral tea or a sweetish fruit infusion — the taste is full-bodied and herbal, with a noticeable puckering feeling on the palate. Those who are used to chamomile or mint may find it unfamiliar at first.

The second difference is the composition. LEKRASET Põldmuraka lehed is cut plant material, a single ingredient not mixed with other herbs, with no flavourings or taste additives. This format is appreciated by those who want to know exactly what they are drinking and, if they wish, to combine herbs themselves — for example, by adding chamomile or linden to the blackberry leaves for a milder taste.

Besides tannins, the leaves contain flavonoids and other plant compounds that round out the overall profile of the infusion. In character, the drink is closer to a classic herbal tea than to a dessert or aromatic tea — people choose it for its naturalness and traditional herbal taste rather than for a vivid aroma.
