Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) are deep-coloured dried berries valued for their rich flavour and traditional use in teas and pantry recipes. They have a tart-sweet taste and are commonly used in fruit decoctions, syrups, and baked goods. Bilberries are naturally high in plant pigments and tannins, which is why they are often chosen for antioxidant-style routines. This is a single-ingredient dried fruit with no added sweeteners or preservatives.

I love the slightly tart flavour of these, and it disguises some of the less delicious herbs that might be included on a medicinal tea
I'm a devoted coffee drinker, but I've been prescribed herbal teas for health reasons. Of all the recommended changes to my diet, that was the one I dreaded most. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover how tasty these are!
I love the taste it gives to my tea!
