New tea! New tea!
I was so intrigued when I saw we were releasing this tea: butterfly pea flower is SO COOL and it’s very awesome getting to talk to people about it at work constantly now. Unlike everyone else at my store specifically, I was already familiar with butterfly pea flower; this isn’t even my first tea with it. However, it’s definitely not common in the tea world, so getting to share it with so many people? So cool!
Also, this is blue raspberry flavoured! I’ve wanted a literally blue, blue raspberry tea for fucking YEARS now! So, I’m very happy to see that idea realized.
- Iced tea
- Definitely a richer/darker blue than I expected
- The other tea I’ve had with BPF had much less in it so this is a BIG difference from that
- VERY beautiful aesthetically speaking! It’s kind of indigo-y…
- With an added squeeze of lemon or some lemon juice it really DOES turn purple!
- And the more you add, the brighter it gets…
- Taste wise, it’s like a mellow raspberry/apple kind of combo?
- With some notes of bilberry, and blueberry as well for support
- With an obvious taste of fresh lemon from the lemon juice
- I think the kiwi hides in the lemon/mixes into it in a non-distinguishable way
- And some very soft floral undertones
- I don’t taste the stevia much; but it definitely is a little bit present
- It’s supposed to be “Blue Raspberry” and I do actually kind of see that overall
- I’ve wanted an blue raspberry tea that was actually blue for YEARS; I’m hella satisfied
- I hope this one sticks around for a while! It’s super cool!
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
It does sound interesting but I will try a sample from the store before committing to it. :D
Why stevia?!
