We’re currently making blackberry tea at @nomaprojects 🍃 Last week, we handpicked fresh blackberry leaves while they were still bright green and tender. After a thorough rinse, we lightly steamed them to soften the leaves, then gently bruised them to prepare for fermentation. Over the weekend, they fermented in a mix of water, sugar, and a selected strain of yeast. Once the fermentation was complete, we strained the liquid and dried the leaves. The result is tea that tastes like stone fruit with a unique mouthfeel! The blackberry tea is then being used as a part of the tea programme over at @nomacph 🙌
