Wow. So this is the tea that I had purchased from Tealish, which ended up going rancid on me. When I let them know, the company was so gracious and sent me a brand new bag, with some samples to boot! Now, not only am I impressed with their customer service, but their tea as well!!
About the tea:
This must have been reblended. The other review here mentions an overwhelming hibby note, but I don’t see it in the blend, nor do I taste any at all in the tea. It’s not at all sour. Perhaps too many people mentioned the hibs and they took note? shrugs
The tea itself is very pungent. The blueberries smell like something mildly fermented, which I suppose could be the beginnings of the rancidness I experienced last time.
Steeped, I get that same intense fermented note. Adding a teaspoon of sugar helps though.
But… What really blew my socks of, was when I added a dash of milk. It now tastes like a blueberry danish! I am in awe!!
Made that way, I do believe I have found my new fave rooibos tea. Oh yes, this is staying in my cupboard permanently. Mmmmmmmm.

You know what might go great with blueberry? A teaspoon of real maple syrup.
huh, Scott you may be on to something there! I’ll try it next time for sure :P
Cool :) Love to hear how it turns out.

I’ll review it that time, for sure!
Amy: It really is!! I’ll be a customer for life now :)
I ordered from tealish only once about a year ago, and I am sorry to say I was unimpressed with the bunch I tried. But the recent reviews I’ve read, especially from you Indigobloom, makes me want to give it another shot, mmm this one is also on my list, they seem to have a very nice new selection of rooibos… and no matter how good a product might be, outstanding customer service is often the deciding factor me. Just great the way they handled your request :)
yeah Tealish can be hit or miss. But I find that about most places anyhow!
Yep, customer service… the cornerstone of small business! :)
Seriously, I will keep going there til the end of time. Really friendly staff, and they’re ok with letting me smell every tea on the shelf before making a decision to!!! ha.
