Review: It smells very much of blueberry; even the used bag looks like pulped blueberries.  The flavour is mainly apple and blueberry, though Three Tulsi's husband identified the blackberry (we couldn't taste it, ourselves).  It's a big watery, but flavoursome enough for this price range.  It's a bit tart and not too sweet, making it a nice one in the afternoon when you want a treat, instead of reaching for the sweets.  Granted, it's slightly artificial, but it's good if you don't want anything too strong.  The inclusion of hibiscus also makes it a good one for women's health.

All in all, while this isn't the best tea we've ever had, it's a great low-budget tea.  It's also much better than some pricey top-range fruit teas we've tried, making this a standard to which others must compare.  In short, if it costs much more and it's still not as good as this Sainsbury's blend, stick with this shop brand option.

Best time of year to drink this: Autumn

Best time of day to drink this: Afternoon or evening (after meals, to avoid sweets)
