First time trying this even though I’ve had it for almost a year. Whoops.
I saw the base look quite fine, so I knocked 30 seconds off of the steep. Tasting it, I think it might be the same base as Jingle Bells?
Anyway, I’m a bit underwhelmed. This has a fairly strong syrupy blueberry aroma that reminds me of their Cassis & Blueberry, but the flavor is actually very light. The base makes itself known with woody and earthy notes, but the blueberry itself is a bit too subtle to stand up to it. It’s a deep jammy blueberry, but there’s not enough of it.
It’s not bad per se, but not my favorite from Lupicia. Too bad the US website no longer carries Cassis & Blueberry…

I loved Cassis & Blueberry so much. It is very missed in my cupboard now that Lupicia US doesn’t carry it anymore.
It wasn’t one of my most favorite teas from Lupicia, but I liked having it in my cupboard when I wanted a berry tea. Maybe they’ll have it again at some point since their inventory is so inconsistent…
I wonder if it would be possible to even do a Steepster group order from the Japan store.
It’s possible, but you’d have to use a third-party forwarding service.
I personally hate those forwarding services and refuse to use them. The inventory for the Melbourne, Australia store is decent, but they suspended international shipping and I have no idea when (or if) they plan to bring it back.
