What is Jammie Hearts tea?

Jammie Hearts tea is a very simple black tea blend from Birdhouse Tea Company with lots of personality. This blend is inspired by Jammie Dodgers, buttery biscuits with a sweet strawberry jam filling.

Although not described as a breakfast blend, this tea is more than perfect for an early morning cuppa or an early afternoon teatime. It contains freeze-dried raspberries and strawberries and a touch of vanilla, on a simple, full-bodied, slightly malty and brisk black tea base.

It’s lighter than a typical dessert tea, but more fun than a regular breakfast blend. This tea blend smells sweet and deep, with light vanilla shortbread notes and fruity undertones.

What does it taste like?

To make a perfect cup of flavoured black tea, use 1-2 teaspoons of tea leaves per cup of water and steep in freshly boiled water for 3 to 5 minutes. Black tea may become bitter if you over-steep it, so keep the steeping time up to 5 minutes.

Jammie Hearts smells deep, sweet and buttery, with an irresistible strawberry jam aroma. Lightly flavoured but full-bodied, this tea is a perfect alternative to regular black blends. It has a very light astringency that leaves a long and sweet aftertaste. It goes really well with milk or a coffee creamer, and it’s delicious with or without a sweetener.

If you prefer more natural blends with less intensity but more flavours than pure teas, Jammie Hearsts is a wonderful choice. It’s not a strawberry flavoured tea, and it’s not a raspberry flavoured tea either. Instead, the focus in this blend is still on black tea, rather than additional flavours, so it would go really well with teatime cakes and biscuits too, or as a base for making a simple tea milkshake or sugar syrup.
