First off, how lucky am I to work right next to a DAVIDsTEA. Say what you will, tea connoisseurs, that DAVIDs is no good. I am admittedly new to the loose leaf tea world, but am truly enjoying DAVIDs so far! :D My fellow co-workers and I review teas so this just seemed a natural extension. This is my first post. ^^
Blue Lagoon! When I first smelled it, it reminded me of summer! Tropical blue skies and warm heavy air… a tropical cocktail on the beach? :) I had a sample warm and decided it was tasty – sweet but not too sweet, the subtle lemon adds a lovely tartness that balances the blueberry and pineapple so well! I initially thought it would be amazing iced.
I came back the next day to purchase Cool Cucumber – my original favourite, and grabbed a small tin of Blue Lagoon as well. I made some hot and omg! I like it even more the second time. I got a lot of blueberry up front, admittedly a little artificial like a candy… but nicely balanced by the pineapple for more sweetness and even some tartness from the lemongrass! I’m thinking this will be a great tea for creative minds…inspiring lemongrass! Mmm!
I think it’s great hot but would make a lovely iced tea too! I will review again, perhaps. If you enjoy teas like Blueberry Jam, Currant Affair and Cranberry-Pear… I think you’d like this. Most notably like Blueberry Jam but with some tropical sweetness ^^
This is great to hear! I love Blueberry Jam so I hope I like this one…I ordered it along with some new teaware the other night!
