Loose, this tea looks like a rooibos with a little bit of black tea in it. There is a surprising amount of dried blueberries, which is nice. There are also flower petals, as usual (Della Terra really loves them I guess). The dry tea smells like blueberry yogurt to me, in the best way. Maybe with a hint of vanilla. I actually made this one twice.
The first time, I steeped it for 5 minutes. I thought the rooibos got a bit too strong in this one, but the blueberry flavor was very deep and yummy – sort of a jammy blueberry flavor.
The second time, I steeped it for 3 minutes. This time there is a much better balance of rooibos versus flavors. It tastes like lovely sweet blueberries with a little bit of sweet cream and vanilla poured over the top. The rooibos flavor is there, but it’s more of a background note. I added about a teaspoon of sugar and it really helps the blueberry flavor shine. I’m sure this would be tasty with milk also. Rooibos haters won’t love this one but I think they would find it tasty enough. I would like a little bit stronger of a flavor, but I still find it quite good. :)
