Fermented blackberry leaves (less tanning agents) are a popular decaffeinated substitute for black tea and are a common ingredient of house teas. It is possible to collect blackberry leaves yourself and then dry them. Care should be taken to dry the blackberry leaves slowly and with good ventilation, as they will not ferment if dried quickly in the sun.
