Fruity and tart with a smooth body, a hint of pear sweetness and a gentle floral finish.
Blackberries and blueberries share a deep colour that comes from anthocyanins, the same pigments found in red cabbage and black grapes. Both berries also bring fibre and some vitamin C.

Serve it for breakfast or as a calm, caffeine-free drink in the afternoon.
