I have been reordering the Organic Elderberry tea for several years. It is delicious and supposedly has many health benefits. A cup every afternoon is a nice pick-me-up and a favorite ritual.
The combination of elderberry with the rooibos tea is a hit and this tea is very flavorful and would recommend
This is my second time ordering this tea. It's one of my favorites. Love the taste and the health benefits. Will definitely be one I reorder.
This is one of my new favorite teas!!! Love it and it's healthy benefits!
I love the berry taste. It isn't real tart. I'm enjoying this tea.
Honestly, these are the best teas I have ever purchased. They taste as good as they smell!
Been drinking for years and love it
Our second bulk bag of this. Everyone’s favorite when the sniffles start.
Have now purchased the Elderberry tea a few times. It is a refreshing tea and I feel it helped me through my last cold.
So delicious, and good for you.
I have been drinking this tea for years! Mostly for the antioxidants that the elderberry has, but I also love the flavor. No need to add anything to it.
The tea is the best. I tried another brand and it was so aweful. But your tea excels. The Elderberry is so delicious. And the vanilla almond so amazing. This tea is a special treat for me. I enjoy the great taste . And appreciate the effort that you company has committed to. Thank you .
So enjoy this lovely and healthy tea. Of course all the tea's are wonderful but I think this one and the green tea detox are my fav.
Elderberry tea is sweet and tasty
Full of flavor and a very relaxing tea. I will definitely be buying again.
nice flavor, will buy it again
Love all your teas. I have never been disappointed.
I am a tea drinker 24/7. I like to have a cup of tea to sip on before sleep and for in the night when I need to moisten my mouth. Elderberry is so tasty unsweetened that I can drink it even cold during the night. And elderberries are good for strength of heart, physically and emotionally.
I'm really enjoying this elderberry tea ??. Usually, I'm not a fan of rooibos-type teas but this one is very good.
I love the taste and thank you
My husband drinks this elderberry tea every night, and loves it!
It's a great tea and tastes good. I use it daily.
I really enjoy the flavor of this tea. I use it for my end of the day tea. And sometimes make it cold to enjoy through my work day. I don't regret this purchase
I got this tea as a free sample and used it when I was fighting off a sore throat/cold. It really helped. Ended up buying more as I liked the taste too!
I've never tried elderberry tea before. I definitely got a big punch of the elderberry, and it was very good. I love the fruit teas that TRoT makes with strong fruit flavors. They're very delicious and satisfying.
The strength of this yummy tea cures, well if not everything, then most of the bugs that come my way.
I really wanted to like this tea, but it feel a bit flat. I appreciate simple tea, but this tea is a bit too simple. No creative notes or flavors.
I drink this daily in the wintertime. It helps with my immune system in the cold season.
This tea has a really strong elderberry flavor and I love it. I originally bought it to drink when I was ill, but I like it so much that I drink it just for pleasure now.
This tea has become one of my before bed teas. I absolute love the flavor. It is so nice to brew a cup about 1/2 an hour before bed and just sip it.
I got this as a sample with a recent order, and I'm glad I never ordered it myself. I didn't love it, though maybe elderberry is just not for my palette.
Why are ingredients not listed as to what they actually are?, for ex., other natural ingredients?, what does that mean, as my existing can of this tea doesn't say that?? Generally, to me it means that Tea is going to be less high quality ingredients, and one has to wonder what is now hiding in product?
One of my long time favorites!
One of my favorites. Elderberry is good when your not feeling well
I was skeptical to try this tea, but was surprised to find a full-bodied, beautiful flavor and aroma. I let it steep 12 minutes before enjoying - perhaps that's the key?
I really liked this light tasting tea! It had a great elderberry flavor without being too overpowering. I am definitely stocking up on this tea for cold season!
I am very disappointed in this tea. I thought it would taste like elderberries but instead it tastes like sour grapes and has an odd smell that is neither elderberry nor grape. I agree with another commenter who thinks we should be told the source of these added flavors. Fine quality teas shouldn’t need any. From now on I’m going to read the ingredients and avoid any teas that have added flavors.
This tea is fantastic and I love the flavor.
This tea has such great flavor.
A lovely elderberry tea. The grape flavors are somewhat more noticeable than the elderberry, but this isn't a bad thing. It's overall extremely nice and very enjoyable!
Elderberry has become one of my favorite teas to enjoy. I drink it hot and cold. It is absolutely refreshing to drink hot before going to sleep. It has a very smooth fruity essence thar reminds me of a deep rich grape flavor. I enjoy it with honey in a long steeping warm cup of water. I recommend this flavor.
This is one of several I buy in bulk. Great for winter mornings or any morning.
This tra has a good flavor and with elderberry in it a healthy tea indeed
This tea was for my dad and those were his words. I think this will be on constant reorder.
I love this tea flavor!
I drink this every morning to help me fight the viruses brought in by my middle school students. It has good flavor, and sometimes I add it to raspberry rose hibiscus.
I picked this tea out to give as a gift to my Mom. She just loves it
This is a definite must have if you suffer from allergies. I drink it at night and I feel better in the morning.
I think this a weird tea and would only drink for health, but my sister loves it and drinks it every evening. I would recommend buying a sample size to try first!
This is a good go-to if you want elderberry in your system quickly. Making your own is fun and easy and is better than chicken soup when you're not well.
Really does taste like the elderberry gummies you get for cold's with added grape flavor.
I like the fact that this is an organic tea. That makes me feel good about drinking it. Also, elderberry can be helpful for boosting the immune system. Winter is a time when a lot of viruses are circulating. I bought this basically for the health benefit. And it taste good too!
This tea has a pleasant berry-like taste that is really nice!
This tea tastes great over ice. The rich elderberry flavors permeate this tea making it one of my favorite herbal teas. I also don't have to worry with drinking it late in the day since it is caffeine free.
If you like the taste of grape jelly, search no further. I do understand why many people like this; it is very fruity, and if you like concord grape aroma and flavor, then I encourage you to try it. I was hoping for a more subtle and earthy berry flavor. I smelled grapes when I opened the can and turned it over to look at the ingredients. There it was, "organic grape flavor" - its placement at the end of the ingredient list all out of proportion to its predominance in the aroma and flavor profile. Still, I gave it two tries (for the elderberry benefits) and also tried (unsuccessfully) to mix it with other teas to tone done the grape. The flavor mixing at ROT is usually balanced and nuanced, even brilliant at times. But this tea was misnamed. It should have been called "Grape Flavored Tea with Elderberries." Sadly, it went in the trash.
This elderberry tea is flavorful and perfect for a late night cup of tea.
I usually save my single overwraps in a tea container. I wasn't feeling well and came across this Elderberry tea. I added a green tea bag as well, and it was very tasty. I am not a big "berry" tea fan but this was good!
Elderberry is known to help with immunity and the way the fruit is the star of this cup of tea will not disappoint. It is strong and fruity and provides an intensely delicious cup of immune boosting power!
I love, love the flavor of this tea. Just started my tea journey about a year ago and choose a new one each time I order. I also love the peach/ginger, it is a very comforting tea when you're not feeling well.
This elderberry tea is wonderful for the winter months and I drink it in the morning daily to keep my immunity levels up. The taste is nice and fruity.
The flavour seemed slightly off to me, it is still really good & I love all my other teas from the Republic, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea you could say. But, props to this company for being plastic free with their packaging and products!!
I love this tea because it has a really bold elderberry taste. This tea and a good book is my nightly ritual.
Hot: Rooibos is not overpowering, the grape flavor is evident but not overwhelming, can be artificial-tasting.The rooibos sometimes becomes more apparent as the tea cools and gets cold. It might even taste like olive. Sometimes tastes watered-down and the grape can be too prominent
I should start this with I love republic of tea, and I've lived most of what I've purchased from them. Recently in an order I received samples of Organic Elderberry Tea and Peach Bellini, and both were lovely and I ordered a tin of each. I was really looking forward to the Elderberry because it had been so fragrant and flavorful. You could really taste and small the boys of the Elderberry. When the tins arrived I used a bag of the Elderberry for my morning cup. I was so disappointed I almost tossed both tins. The next morning I tried the Peach Bellini to find it as lovely as the sample had been, so I committed to trying the Elderberry again the next morning. Knowing I make a big cup of tea, I decided I'd try two bags to see if more was better. Here's the issue. The sample had been aromatic and flavorful. The tea in the tin tastes and smells like a cheap big tea brand that may or may not have been carried past some Elderberry. There are plenty of teas I've loved from RoT, sadly this doesn't appear to be one. But I'm enjoying a wonderful cup of Peach Bellini as I wrote this.
We use this tea whenever we are going to be around a lot of people, or not feeling well.
Great variety to have for guests.
Perfect for comforting a cold
Elderberry is a great supplement. Tea makes for a way to retain vitamins C, D, and Zinc. Wife likes this tea. Makes for a great gift.
It does remind me a bit of grape cough med from my childhood so I add a blackberry sage tea bag with to change that a bit. Feel it is supporting help to my body.
I like the hint of grape flavor in this tea.
Was very happy with the mild but flavorful blend. Will buy again
This tea is perfect when you are under the weather (or any time!). Add some honey and my throat is on its way to normal again. My new favorite way to do elderberry.
good tea, good iced.
LOVE this tea. I will definitely order more.
I've loved this tea for many many years. Add some lemon and honey, a very comforting and tasty drink at the end of a day.
Received a sample of this in an order and did not enjoy it.
Hot: Rooibos is not evident at all, the grape flavor is evident but not overwhelming or artificial-tasting.The rooibos sometimes becomes more apparent as the tea cools and gets cold. It might even taste like olive. Sometimes tastes watered-down and the grape can be too prominent.
Loved it nice and smooth.
This tea is delicious either hot or cold. I like it with just a little bit of stevia.
I've tried this tea several times as part of a free sample. I always enjoy it very much. As a child, I always loved grape flavored candy and juice. If you like grape flavor, I highly recommend this tea! It is delicious, very flavorful, and always puts a smile on my face. I love the health benefits as well. A great quality tea.
The elderberry tea has a very strong berry flavor, which tastes like a cross between a black current and blackberry. I feel healthy just drinking it.
My heart feels strengthened by drinking this non caffeinated herbal infusion. I feel energized and not over stimulated.
This tea is absolutely delicious! Strong berry flavors come through and with added honey it is divine - my new favorite!!
I once tried a 100%elderberry tea from a different brand and it turned me off of elderberry tea as it was too bitter to even drink but this blend is a drinkable level of sour and good with some tea for sweetness.
got a free sample of this and tried it iced has a good flavor
Ok I gave it a go and tried my hardest to drink the whole 32oz cup I made, but I gave up! I couldn't stand the flavor of this! It very literally tastes like cough syrup with a hint of menthol. Fairly awful stuff. Now my husband is a weirdo that likes the taste of cough syrup so there's definitely a cup of tea for everyone lol.
I got this tea for health benefits but absolutely love the taste. It helps me when I feel myself getting run down and I enjoy the flavor.
This Organic Elderberry blend makes a delicious tea - hot or cold, although I prefer it hot during the winter months. What a delicious way to enhance my immune system during cold and flu season.
This is a nice elderberry tea. Berry and floral and lots of flavor.
Either I didn't care for the elderberry itself or I didn't like the other ingredients. It was drinkable but not something I really liked so I gifted it to a friend who likes elderberry
I did not like this tea - not the aroma or the flavor. Even sitting here writing this review with the container close by the aroma is too strong. If I didn't know what the flavor was supposed to be, I wouldn't have been able to identify it from the taste. All in all, not a winner for me.
Either I'm not a fan of elderberry itself or I just don't care for it mixed with everything else. It's drinkable but I'd rather drink something else
I love hot tea. This is the best tea I have ever tried. I have been drinking tea from the Republic of Tea for years now and recommend it to my friends.
I love this pleasant & flavorful tea. Not a medicinal flavor at all, just a nice anytime cuppa.
I really enjoyed this tea. It had full berry wine flavor.
With its delicious berry-grape flavor in a benefit-boosting base of red rooibos, this tasty tisane is an absolute must during the cold and flu season of the winter months. Providing highly-healthy aspects from its main star, the much-fabled elderberry, this R of T classic is not only "berry berry good," but soooo good for you! Whether one is seeking a "pound of cure" or an "ounce of protection" from this traditional remedy, a daily cup of this warm and welcome herbal elixir is perfect for whatever ails you!!!!
I got this as a sample and was excited because it was going to be one I purchased later. I love elderberry, hibiscus, and rooibos. These all have good health benefits along with tasting delicious in my opinion. This is one I will drink just because and for the immunity benefits. I could taste the light grape flavor and it was a fabulous addition. I want to order again but there are so many wonderful teas to try! I will get around to it though because this is a great tea.
I have always heard about elderberry tea but had never given it a try. Got a free sample so I thought why not try it. It is wonderful!! I had a head cold when I tried it and it really helped me to feel so much better.
Maybe just me but I thought the elderberry flavor was too much even after 60 seconds of brewing. I do love some of their other teas
Love the very "berry" taste of this tea -- both hot and in my ice water tumbler. I love knowing that while I'm enjoying the pleasure of tea I am also doing something good for my immune system -- especially now during cold and flu season! It's a great way to do something healthy for myself!
This flavorful elixir of potential good health takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother gave me health promoting herbal teas, including Elderberry tea. I sort of enjoyed it as a kid, but I definitely enjoy this one as an adult. I got and get few colds, so perhaps the elixir has truly been my hesly
This tea is tastes delicious, and Elderberry is wonderful to drink to help fight off colds. It doesn't need any sweetener, but sometimes I add a bit of honey for the added health benefits.
Another favorite I drink regularly, helps when I have allergies.
I got this to to help fend off any winter ickies. I ended up catching Covid during the holidays and I swear this tea is what helped me kick it to the curb quick. It has a wonderful flavor and it will be forever a staple in my tea cupboard. Even my husband who isn't a tea drinker, enjoyed it.
If I had small children that I was wanting to encourage to drink tea, I'd try serving this one first. The grape flavoring is way too overpowering for my senior palate. As an immunity-boosting alternative, I'd recommend the SuperGreen "Immunity," which is subtly nuanced with delicate floral notes.
This was a new tea for me, and I will definitely be purchasing it again! Once more, Republic of Tea has created a wonderful flavor combination.
This review is about the flavor/taste of this tea only. I'm not sure what it is, but I know it's not the Elderberry in it... it's something else and it's downright nasty. Throwing away an expensive tea is not fun. No one else liked it so I couldn't even give it away.
Received as a sample request. Not the best, not the worst (and certainly better than cheap teas at most restaurants for example). However, I am comparing it to other Tea of Republic teas in giving it an average rating. It was too earthy for me. I am sure some may adore this tea, and while I may be wrong, I don't think it's a tea that will be a "5" for a majority of tea drinkers.
I received this as a sample and was overwhelmed with the smell once I opened the envelope. It smelled as if I had opened a bottle of wine! Once brewed, the wine-like smell was overwhelming and unpleasant. Flavor-wise, I only tasted grape. If you enjoy red wine you may like this tea but for me it was very off-putting.
Bitter, sour grape taste, little berry flavor. Didn't even smell good. Bought on accident thought was the Blackberry sage, my absolute favorite for now. Oh well, first time I didn't like a flavor. Been hooked on your teas for 2+ years and have tried many flavors. BRING BACK - Comfort and Joy and Sip and be Merry. Great flavor profiles for winter. And would like to see more fruit flavors with out spices. Otherwise I love your tea and recommend to others. It has even made this heavy coffee drinker into an almost exclusive tea drinker!
This tea not only tasts good, but it's good for you.
I love this tea, it tastes delicious and I drink it at the end of the day with some lemon and honey. Very calming and delicious. Will order again.
The flavor and smell remind me of cough medicine. The ingredients are good though - maybe take out the grape?
I wanted to love this as much as the Aronia Elderberry tea, but it pales in comparison. Meh.
The grape flavor of this tea overpowers the elderberry flavor...I do think the name of this tea is a bit deceiving when it mostly tastes like grape. It's very sweet and wine-like. (It does taste a lot like the "Get Young" tea). I wish I had ordered more of the Elderflower tea instead of this one!
I tried Organic Elderberry as a replacement for Get Young Tea No. 19, which I LOVE but seems has been discontinued :( (SO sad about that). For me I found Organic Elderberry too wine-flavored - slightly sour and bitter for my taste buds. I think if you love red wine this tea would be appealing - to me the scent is very red wine-like. I wonder if I'd like this one better if the added flavor were blackberry instead of grape. It's better when I add some sweetener but not enough to buy again.
I like the smell of this tea plus the taste and the face that it is doing something good for your body.
This is a great tea hot or iced. Just the right amount of tartness and fruitiness. Maybe it's just the placebo effect, but I feel healthier after drinking it.
Great tea for anytime. I really enjoy it.
I absolutely love this tea.
Excellent taste & smell.
I love the flavor and the natural immunity strengthening it provides in cold/flu season. I love that I can purchase it in bulk!
I love this tea. It has a nice flavor and it very warming and fruity.
My daughter introduced us. It's another love for my life.
A great fruity flavor without being too sweet. Soothes a sore throat too.
Very nice sipping tea. Undertones of berry, nice subtle scent. I bought it because my cousin told me it great for the immune system. So I expected it would be awful, however I was pleasantly surprised that something so good for you, also taste good!
I wish it had more elderberry and less grape
A nice afternoon tea to relax
This is an amazing to have on hand during this time in America. You can pick out the awesome berry taste in this tea. Don't wait too long order some today.
I take it daily to bolster my immune system. Delicious with honey.
It's fruity and a bit sweet, not something I drink every day, but it's nice.
This is a different flavor for me. Can't say that I've ever had elderberry anything. I thought it had a bit of a licorice flavor. Not really a berry flavor. I taste a hint of grape when I was almost done with the tea. It's not unpleasant just have others that I enjoy more. I'll drink what I have but probably won't reorder again. But who knows maybe after drinking it a few times, it will grow on me.
Another reviewer was complaining about the grape in this tea. For me it is the redeeming factor. I love this tea because of the grape, otherwise I'd be leaving it in the kitchen at work and being sure none sees me do it sort of thing. The tea smells horrible and partly tastes like it smells, but again, the grape makes it for me.
I love all the teas I've gotten. My newest favorite is the elderberry tea.
I find this tea addicting !
I was excited to finally try this tea. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed in the odd taste of this tea. So may good options but they put grape in this tea and it really ruins the taste and smell. I make my own tea from elderberries so I know it's not the berries that I don't like. I decided to keep it anyway for it's health benefits and doctor it up. I think I need to stick with my favorites: Ginger peach and blackberry tea. Now these teas are fantastic.
I liked the light fruity taste. Very mild.
This is my favorite tea! I bought in because of the Elderberry heath benefits!
Delicious sweet and a tad tart but not overpowering! Love it
This tea is very delicious, organic is best of all!
I take elderberry syrup in winter to ward off colds and this tea is a lovely complement. The flavorful elderberry requires no honey added. It warms and comforts.
I loved elderberry Juice when I visited Wales. This tea is close without the sugar and calories
This has fantastic elderberry flavor. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for either a delicious tea or an easy way to get the benefits of elderberry
I am really enjoying the flavor of this tea. Glad that I decided to try it.
I love this tea so much! Its great for just a relaxing sip (I mix it with a bag of chamomile lemon at night). It also was wonderful at helping to kick a cold that refused to let go.
The elderberry tea has a delicious berry taste that lingers after you swallow. It's not overly sweet or candyish, but a natural fruit taste. I drank a few cups and ordered two more packages.
Wanted a tea that is full of flavor. This was a great choice for me and has health benefits to boost. Ordering more before I run out.
My last catalog included a sample of Bramble berry tea - which I fell in love with. It's a black tea and I wanted a healthy caffeine free tea in my order so I'd be able to have something in the evenings as well. I chose the Elderberry based on the description in the catalog. I am very happy with it, but have to say I LOVE the Bramble berry best!!
Delicious tea, I love it also great paired with republic peach ginger tea! Very fruity, tasty and puts you in a serene relaxed mood! Buy both and enjoy added serenity! I drank one can in less than one week. I decided to ordered two this time! WOW! Love it!
I thought this was a pretty good tea. I don't usually like red rooibos, but I didn't even notice it in this one. It also is not as sour as some other hibiscus teas. I'd drink it again.
