This tea is just another tea that Randy Jackson would call “aight”. It’s most certainly blueberry but neither the black tea nor the blueberry are strong enough for my taste.
I would recommend this tea to a blueberry afficianado looking for a lighter afternoon fruity tea
I really love big, bold, brash teas. Smokiness enthralls me. I don’t seem to do subtle.
I don’t do rooibos.
My rating system:
0-30:
Never again in a hundred million years
31-55: This tea probably has some redeeming qualities but I won’t would not seek it out again.
56-70:
Shows some promise but also has a fundamental flaw. I probably owe these a second taste but am unmotivated.
71-80:
Good with at least one strong quality; I probably would not buy it but would drink it cheerfully.
81-90: Worthy contenders; they might be ranked 100 on somebody’s else’s scale. I like them a lot but have not fallen in love. Will probably buy and use.
91-95: These are the true loves, the chosen ones, the ones I dream about and crave. Unless they are in a limited edition—la! how you tease me!—I will always keep in my cupboard.
96-100: I cannot be separated from these teas and would develop a panic attack if I were to run out.
