I loved this tea, but then you took out the huckleberry pieces. Now it is just. . . fine. I get supply chain issues, but change the name if you’re taking out the signature ingredient.
Hi Kia, glad you like our High Country Huckleberry. We used to have huckleberry powder in this tea (not pieces ; ) Our single source for this powder had such a slim crop due to weather last year, that they produced no powder. They are unsure if it will be available in the future due to what they are noticing with the climate. As you might know, huckleberries only grow in the wild. Hopefully it’s available this year, and you can rest assured we’ll add it back in! Prior to releasing this change, we did a taste test with and without the powder, and the tasters couldn’t tell the difference.
Like you, we hope this is temporary! LMTC
Heather – This tea did indeed have whole dried huckleberries in it (and my tea packaging has “huckleberry” in the ingredients). It was by far my favorite tea of all the various kinds from various makers that I drink. I will try the new version, but if like Kia I think it’s just “fine”, I will stop ordering it until the hucks are back. Otherwise it’s just not worth it.
Hi JB, Glad you like our High Country Huckleberry blend. In the past it had huckleberry powder and black currants. We still use black currants, but the powder is not always available. We like to encourage folks to do blind tastings. Brew both versions if you still have the earlier version. See if you can tell the difference without knowing which tea is which. It’s fun and forces you to rely on your senses alone! LMTC
This tea has a nice, tart brightness to it that many fruit teas don’t seem to have (surely the huckleberry!)
I love drinking a cup of this tea after a long day of work- it really does work wonders as a pick me up.
(Also, I’m certain I’m a bit weird for doing this, but I tried eating one of the berries after steeping my tea, and it was quite delicious! You can really see where those flavors shine through in the tea)
Hi Julia, WE think our High Country Huckleberry rocks, too! Thank you for noticing and sharing, LMTC
I’m typically a black tea drinker, no flavors. This has the perfect hint of berry. Not obnoxiously flavored, just perfect! Thanks for sending a sample with a past order!
Hi Mulenag,
That’s just awesome to hear that you like our High Country Huckleberry, thank you! The dried huckleberries give a little tart in the background, too. LMTC
I love this tea. The flavor of this tea is what bears dream about when they are hibernating in the winter. I like it with milk and honey.
Hi Peggy, Great suggestion – milk and honey with the High Country Huckleberry! and what an awesome visual with hibernating, dreaming bears! Love it, thanks, LMTC
