Well I sort of liked it until I really looked at the ingredients: Ginseng and eleuthero root extracts, garciinia cambogia fruit extract, blend of green tea leaf, bilberry lea, hibiscus flower, green tea extract, stevia, amid fruit, belleric myrobalan and cherubic myrobalan fruit. AND … organic orange , blueberry and licorice flavor. Way too much stuff. I’m used to my “medicinal” teas being a bit less complicated. I guess I also expect that a tea called Blueberry Slim Life would actually have blueberry in it not just as a flavor listed second to the last out of 13 ingredients.

I wasn’t sure what Ginseng eluthero and garnica cambogia are so I looked them up and found that I can’t have ginseng eluthero because of a side effect with some medication I am taking. Bummer!

I’m not saying it’s a bad tea but I was just expecting a more green tea with blueberry. The taste isn’t bad at all. I have to admit that I wasn’t hungry and I did feel I had a bit more pep than I would expect. If it wasn’t for this sort of big drug interaction I would probably drink it.

According to my research in vitamins and supplements, bilberry is wild and more expensive blueberry, so yay!

Oh, and more potent too.

Interesting. Thanks! I feel a bit better about it being called a blueberry tea.

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
