Do we go with \u003cem\u003eBountiful Berry\u003c\/em\u003e? We could, there certainly are berries in the blend - elderberries, dried currants and cranberries to be exact. And the tart and tangy profile they impart is \"bountifully\" evident from the very first sip. But perhaps that name discounts the fact that this blend holds the unique position of being one of the only blends in the tea world to contain both black and green teas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk, perhaps we should call it \u003cem\u003eBlack and Green Berry Tea\u003c\/em\u003e. However, aside from the fact that that name is about as exciting as watching paint dry, it doesn't take into consideration the fact that the blend has been further rounded out by Hibiscus, Calendula, Sunflower and Jasmine petals. (A heady floral mix if ever there was one.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk, so perhaps we should call the tea \u003cem\u003eBlack and Green Fruit and Flower\u003c\/em\u003e tea. That's not bad - it has all the ingredients listed in a logical and easy to understand order. BUT...where's the romance...the nuance...the innuendo? We aren't accountants taking inventory here people - we're selling tea! And tea as we all know is quite possibly one of the most storied and romantic products out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo aha, think we, M̩nage a Tea. That has some nuance...some innuendo...plus it speaks to the fact that this blend is about as mixed up as a blend could be. All those ingredients! All those flavors swirling in the mouth! All those incredible anti-oxidants from the black tea, the green tea and the berries! This tea has it all. Try it.
